Ranking The 10 Best Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Maps

Choosing to go to A or B may make the difference between losing a life and achieving the objective. Since the map Inferno has two spread out bomb sites, players on the defending side are well advised to place half their players at each site. Since planters can stick together and follow the same route, Inferno is deemed to be T sided. The map design of Inferno is not bad, but in practice, the map just misses the mark. Despite its flaws, people will continue to play and enjoy Infe

As for 2012, well, anyone who knows me well knows that I'm a Metro 2033 fanboy, so my most anticipated title is Metro: Last Light . I'm also a huge fan of Yakuza 3 meaning I'm stoked for Yakuza: Dead Souls , not to mention BioShock Infinite , Prey 2 , Alan Wake: Night Springs , Binary Domain , and Operation Raccoon City as my first Resident Evil game, not to mention I have a nice shiny PlayStation Vita First Edition bundle with my name on it. I also plan to play Mass Effect 3 but I'm trying to keep my hype meter low for that

With Black Friday over, I can now say that I'm looking forward to stabbing into Assassin's Creed: Revelations and Rayman: Origins which I picked up during the holiday hustle. I'm also almost finished with my second play through of Deus Ex: Human Revolution which is showing me just how many different ways there are to go through that game. I'm also going to grind out some more trophies for Uncharted 3 and Dead Rising 2: Off the Reco

If there's one thing that could make hearing slurs barked into your ear a little easier to swallow, it's cute anime girls. Picture, then, a challenger to CS:GO and Siege 's throne. A bouncier, brighter, and more inviting challenger - but with all the brown and bloom you've come to know and l

The only thing I'm probably going to be playing during December is Skyrim ... that ought to hold anyone over for at least a year. 2012: Max Payne 3 , Mass Effect 3, and CS2 Prime Rewards BioShock: Infinite ... all third entries in their respective series... this franchise thing is getting out of hand sometimes. Luckily, they're all going to be good ga

For many people, Counter-Strike is the most competitive and foremost first-person shooter. Despite Counter-Strike: Global Offensive releasing in 2012, Valve Corporation and Hidden Path Entertainment continually add sizeable updates to the game. The first Counter-Strike game released in the year 2000. Many changes have been made to improve CS: GO gameplay, but the fundamentals of Counter-Strike have stayed the same. Like its predecessors, players achieve objectives through two different game modes. Much of the game's success is owed to its ingenious map des

Since the launch of the first Surf Maps, a fringe community of casual players became quite avid fans of the concept. The idea of Surf Maps moved on from Counter-Strike 1.6 and even made its way to other games. Some games with Surf Mods incl

December is the month that bats clean up for gamers, allowing us a chance to catch up on all the titles we missed this year. Among those titles I missed are Skyrim, Skyward Sword, and Battlefield 3 , so I hope to give those a go over the break. On top of that I'm also looking forward to finally procuring a 3DS and trying out Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 . And for my family fun I'm looking forward to checking out Scene It? Movie Night . Happy Holidays Rant

Prestrafing is nonexistent in unmodded CS:GO . Essentially, pre-strafing lets players gain speed by holding down strafe buttons while running - useful to gain momentum in Surf. Due to the competitive nature of CS:GO , this is removed from the vanilla g

The newest addition to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive' s lineup of maps is the level "Zoo." Also added to the list of maps playable in competitive mode is a map called "Workout." The level Zoo is located in San Fransisco Bay. While walking through the map of Zoo, you may hear a lot of animal noises such as monkeys and birds. Unfortunately, you won't see those animals since its only fish that can be found in Zoo. The concept of Zoo works well, but the map may need some adjustments before it can be considered a top CS: GO

Naturally, combining the two would only go well. Imagine selecting your hero from the lineup of approximately 10,000 girls in the Senran Kagura series, then picking a lane and farming faceless delinquents alone while your team yells at you to actually contribute to the game. Imagine a base that isn't a towering ancient, but a giant anime girl whose clothes fly off the more damage you do to her. Imagine how many hats you could buy, except instead of giving your hero more clothing, it just disrobes them even more. It sells its

With the beginning of December comes two things: the end of overwhelming amount holiday video game releases and the holidays itself, which effectively means that gamers everywhere will be spending time catching up on their backlog. There are still a handful of games releasing this month, but it is nothing at all like what we've seen in October and November and because of this the Game Guide has made a significant change for this edition - we will not only be detailing the games we'll be playing this month but the ones we're looking forward to next year as w
