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 2 peeking techniques 1.6 and even made its way to other games. Some games with Surf Mods incl

Some of the sites Alex is talking about were centered around maps, while others focused on larger overhauls. There were also a few that dug into leaks, rumors, and speculation, propping up the fans who were trying to sift through Valve’s silence to find answers.

Sliding has a key difference between the two games. In Source , there’s a slight sliding animation when landing that adds more momentum to Surfing. In contrast, CS:GO stops movement when landing complet

Ancient is, unfortunately, also quite CT-sided with many of the same sentiments for Vertigo being shared here. Many would argue it is worse on Vertigo, but the pro scene has shown how effective T-sides can be at the highest level. With that being said the map has seen a few minor changes since its introduction to improve this imbalance such as improving player visibility. Despite its early and current issues, it does fare well in pick rate in both professional and casual p

Essentially, Turning mid-air allows players to maintain momentum while being able to steer their way to another ramp. To do this, they need to find the right rhythm of pressing a strafe key and turning the crosshair in that direction. Here are things to consi

The platform is not quite finished yet, mostly because there are plans to expand and breathe more life into it. "We have a lot of plans for the platform," Alex says. "Everything you see has been coded by just two people. I have a background in design and front-end web development. David - our CTO - is an ex-military software developer and created the system and servers behind it all. Our most requested thing right now is a native app, which we plan to work on later in the year once we feel the website is more complete. For now, we have sub-communities for major Half-Life games, mods, and topics in the work. We’re also releasing new features every week. Last week, we added mentions. Now we’re working on multi-image posts."

However, middle sections of any Surf Map may feature ramps farther away from each other, transforming into headscratchers for most amateur Surfers.

Apex Legends: Surprisingly enough, even the battle royale Apex Legends had a Surf Map Mod that accommodates the hero shooter. Courtesy of modder Skeptation, he’s managed to transform an area in the World’s Edge Map into a very own Surfing Map. Combined with a mobile Legend’s movement abilities , Surfing in Apex Legends can get crazy real qu

Non-game related gambling remained rampant on the Twitch service despite the aforementioned controversy, with gambling content quickly rising to be one of the most popular topics on Twitch in recent years.
