Counter-Strike: Global Offensive - How To Play Surf Maps

With many other massively popular streamers such as xQc and Trainwreckstv receiving similar deals, many claim that this kind of unchecked promotion of gambling services from people who are receiving huge sponsorship deals can be harmful to audiences, while also questioning the credibility of the showcased win rates of the gambling sites on stream. This kind of gambling was present on Twitch for several years, being a lingering controversy that was only recently addressed thanks to what is likely Twitch's most high-profile gambling controversy to d

As Danger Zone games take place on large maps with a lot of open space , it makes sense that an effective weapon in this environment would be a Scout. These weapons can be bought later on in the game for $3750, and as they are a one-hit kill to the head and a two-shot kill to the body, it is highly advisable for players to purchase

It was always clear that Twitch's long history with gambling among its top streamers was eventually going to reach a climax, and this came recently with news regarding long-time streamer ItsSliker . Sliker began streaming on Twitch in 2019, quickly building up a commendable fan base via his networking with other streamers and unique commentary. Currently sitting at over 430,000 followers and once commanding thousands of concurrent Twitch subscribers, recent allegations surrounding the streamer have had a massive domino effect on the platform as a wh

Following intense subsequent pressure from the community on what was already a longstanding controversy, Twitch has banned most forms of gambling from the service , with the aforementioned crypto-gambling giant Stake.com being a named company that is no longer welcome on the streaming platform. This is enormous news for the company considering just how popular gambling streams are on the service, with streamers and fans on both sides of the argument continuing in intense deb

The newest addition to Counter-Strike 2 Trade ban: 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

The AWP's little cousin, the SSG 08, or Scout rifle, is an excellent choice when doing a half buy or an eco round where you can't afford an AWP. The Scout is extremely affordable and effective for its price point. It will one-shot anyone to the head and will do massive damage to the body, leveling the playing field for your teammates with bad guns. Capable of locking down long corridors or holding angles like the AWP, the Scout trades pure killing power for a more attractive price point and mobil

However, although it is a good idea for players to land near their teammates, it should also be stressed that teammates should not stay too close together for the duration of the match, as doing this may result in both of them getting assassinated at the same time, resulting in a quick and untimely match loss. Therefore, players should be vigilant of one another's presence but should keep a safe enough distance to prevent this from happen

When you know that your opponents are not going to buy anything or you're playing on a close-range map , the MP9 is the gun to choose. It is affordable, allows for high mobility, and shreds players foolish enough to engage in close-quarters combat with it. The best gun for making money after winning the pistol round, the MP9 (or Mac-10 if you're on the Ts) has secured many players an ace and a wad of cash to spend for their t

The CTs' weapon of choice, the M4A4 can do it all. It can hold its own in long-range firefights, wipe a rushing team in a single mag, and spam through smokes for what seems like an eternity, all while being fairly easy to use. If it had slightly higher damage, allowing it to one-shot armored opponents to the head, it would be the best weapon in the game. The M4A4 is one of the best weapons at dropping multiple enemies in a single spray thanks to its good mag size, damage, and recoil managem

A controller won't give anyone the upper hand. Ditch the controller! The lethargic movements of thumbsticks won't provide the surefire accuracy to win matches. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is the quintessential example of a game that works well with a keyboard and mo

If players have mouse buttons, then it is highly advisable for them to bind the "ping" input to one of these buttons, as this way, it will be easy and efficient to use. Without pinging (and especially without the verbal communication that doesn't occur in most matches), it can be incredibly difficult for teammates to communicate with each other at all. Therefore, players should rely on this simple but essential way to guide the course of their team play throughout a round of Danger Zo
