Over the past few months in particular, the word banned has become common in gaming headlines. While many bans are related to content creators, game companies and even governments have also jumped on the banning bandwa
The single-shot rate of fire is the go-to fire rate when engaging in long to mid-range firefights. This allows a player to maintain accuracy and not succumb to the brutal recoil on most weapons. Using a single-shot and a mid to long-range scope can turn any assault rifle into a powerful sniper rifle. The use of single-shot can be the difference in a firefight when used effectively and accurat
Utilizing these tips when engaging in a round of Playerunknown's Battlegrounds can allow for both success and survival. As new players become more comfortable survival will become second nature and mastery will be within re
Counter-Strike is synonymous with highly competitive, close quarters gunfights between two small opposing teams, a fact that is well showcased by this attempt to break it out of the mold. Beyond how incredibly awkward the whole thing feels, it's also limited to a scant eighteen players per ma
One of the most important tools in PUBG are the variety of vehicles spread throughout the map. A player utilizing a vehicle successfully provides an unparalleled tool for mobility. This can make even the longest treks towards the circular a trivial and relatively safe jour
To the best of our knowledge, these bans remain in place, with some players reportedly being arrested for playing the game shortly after the ban went into effect. Since then further developments have included Bhutan also making moves to ban PU
What’s more, while restricting server access on a continental basis is fairly common and simple to implement, forcing every player in a single country or continent to stick to native servers would be a nearly insurmountable challenge. Should EA and Respawn force all Asian players into the same space, the entire region might find the game unplaya
Radical Heights is offline as of the writing of this article, so that should go a long way towards to explaining why it rates as the absolute worst. This '80s nostalgia-themed spin saw some initial promise when it released into early access on Steam, with gamers charmed by its neon-retro aesthetic and gimmicky game show presentat
A Chinese redditor recently posted an attempt at explaining the culture surrounding gaming in their home country, and they seem to suggest that, for many of their peers, the ends justify the means when it comes to online gaming. While most Western gamers are apt to feel that a victory is meaningless if they cheated their way to the top, a significant number of gamers in China don’t share those same qua
MK14 is one of the most sought after guns in the game because of insane versatility and high base damage. You can put the gun in automatic mode, and it will essentially become an assault rifle, or you can use it as a sniper rifle for picking out enemies far away. Whether it’s a close-combat or a long-range skirmish, MK14 suffices every role. It also has a ridiculous DPS, and players capable of handling MK14 often net high ki
Needless to say, with the power and reputation of Activision's golden child behind it, it was practically impossible for Blackout to fail. It's definitely one of the more well optimized and frequently updated battle royale titles on the list, and those merits alone do a great deal to carry it. Nevermind the fact that it's a blast to p
The issue stems from the fact that Bluehole has by-and-large done nothing to quell complaints of Chinese-based hackers invading North American and European servers. While the lag introduced by linking players across such a great distance would be enough to make the average match borderline intolerable, this major influx of dishonest players has tarnished the game’s playability in the eyes of most f
It’s not all bad, of course; players in southeast Asia, Oceania, and Russia have found queue times to be more tolerable since the update, and it has helped to lessen the tide of undesirable players in certain regions. That said, Bluehole hasn’t done enough to bring frustrated players back, and this is merely one of many major stability issues inherent in the experience. While titles like Epic Games’ Fortnite and the aforementioned Apex Legends seem to be providing much smoother, more player-friendly experiences, Bluehole appears to be doing little more than sit on their thumbs as the community which once vehemently supported their Project Windless moves on for greener pastu
Yet, as player numbers dropped and competition became more prominent, Bluehole finally caved to audience demands and removed the ability to search for games by region. While it was a well-received—albeit incredibly late—gesture, it did relatively little to stem the torrent of cheaters plaguing Western servers. Players can easily use a VPN service to artificially switch regions, and there are similar workarounds for the ping lock restriction. Things may be a little better than they once were, but aim-botting, unkillable cheaters sporting triple-digit ping figures are still fairly common in most ar
