In the patent, there is a broad range of points listed that could all be used in determining the Trust Factor. Here we will go into some of the more interesting as well as some of the obvious. To begin, the following are one’s that we might expect to see in any game’s matchmaking sys

The AK-47 is an icon both inside and outside of the game, and is most definitely a fan favorite. It sells at a decent price point, is capable of one-shotting armored opponents with a solid strike to the head, and is incredibly accurate for those that have mastered tap-fir

The Desert Eagle, also mocked as the "Deagle", is an incredibly cheap pistol that gets the job done. It's known throughout the game as the great equalizer. The Deagle is one of the very few weapons capable of a one-shot kill, and when used properly, is entirely capable of winning a round on its

Geographic location on the other hand is a strange one. Perhaps a player needs to move often, and that is outside of their control. Perhaps players need to use VPNs for undisclosed reasons, and that too may be out of their hands. Whatever the case, it would be fascinating to know more about how Valve uses this d

And although its fire rate and smaller magazine make the M4A4 king of the jungle, this weapon is a close second, and because of its easier handling, a better start for newcomers , after which they can upgrade to the better-known M

Flashbang is one of the utilities available in the game. When used, it instantly blinds anyone that is looking at it directly for a brief moment. Although it’s a very good tool and can be super effective when used properly, many players blind their teammates, including themselves, instead of blinding the opposing play

Counter Strike: Global Offensive is one of the most popular shooters of all time. The tactical FPS still has a massive audience — close to a million players at any given time — despite releasing in Counter-Strike 2 matchmaking

Proper crosshair placement is very crucial in any FPS game, and it’s what most new players struggle with. Maintaining a random crosshair placement will lead to missed shots, and more often than not, you’ll lose the tr

Squad may be one of the most intimidating military combat sims on the market. Many of the maps are so massive that most players will never even see one another. On top of this, Squad has tons of control binds and little things to learn when just moving the character around. Stack all of this on top of a game where mics and communication are necessary for success, and newcomers have a pretty tough game on their ha

Weapons sway more when aimed down sights, making even simple shots hard to pull off, and the map is filled with sound traps that reveal positions to other teams in a heartbeat. The overall flow and strategy of Hunt make it one of the hardest yet most satisfying games for newcomers to le

As for the league, the next step in the process would depend on how many teams Valve ultimately allows, but let's just say there are twenty teams. Those same twenty teams could be split into two divisions of ten and then must earn a certain number of points within league play in order to maintain their spot. The ten lowest point earners would then have to take part in a relegation tournament whereby they would battle it out with a yet to be determined number of teams who have earned enough points from various tournaments to have their chance at earning a spot in the league. The league itself would play out much like ESL Pro league, being separate from all tournaments, having its own season and its own prize pool. Majors could still work in their current format, with points being assigned to current league holders that can be earned by teams who aren't in the league if they happen to defeat one of the league te

Despite not having a decent hold of a gun, many players tend to shoot continuously even when the entire spray is missing. Most of the bullets don’t connect, and in retaliation, the opposing player kills you immediately. Rather than spraying hastily and missing every shot, it’s better to shoot at a slower p

Its recoil is ridiculous, making its handling hard, and taking the quality of the weapons itself into consideration, it's not worth the hassle. Of course, this weapon is not a giant fail, it's perfectly usable, but more experienced players will soon realize that most of the time it's in fact, usel

With franchising, we would see dynamic gameplay changes like this less often, with most teams simply counter-stratting one another and doing the same executes repeatedly. Soon, viewers would be able to easily predict how a round might unfold before it has even started, leading to a loss in inter

Escape From Tarkov is punishing on all fronts. In most games, players need to lose to learn. Tarkov punishes players for losing though, as all equipment brought into the field is lost upon death. On the flipside, players can get massive rewards for beating another player by taking their loot h
