The Desert Eagle, or Deagle as it is more commonly known as is the great equalizer. As a pistol, it is incredibly cheap. As a weapon, it is incredibly powerful. Very few weapons in Counter-Strike __ are capable of a one-shot kill. The Deagle is one of them. It is a workhorse if used well, capable of winning rounds by itself. However, miss your shot and you have no way to defend yourself. The Deagle rewards skilled players by allowing them the opportunity to win rounds they have no right winn
The newest installment in SNK's long-running 2D fighter, The King of Fighters XV was met with a warm reception from fans of the series. Like many of the games before it though, KoF XV is very hard for newcomers. It doesn't have as big of a player base as Tekken or Super Smash Bros, and thus newcomers will probably be facing players much better than them more frequen
This submachine gun is one of the cheapest guns the terrorist team can buy. However, its price tag comes with baggage, like having really bad recoil, weak armor penetration, and only being remotely handy in close quarters. The MAC-10's accuracy is abysmal by most accou
Overpass was first introduced in the Winter Offensive update back on December 18, 2013, as the first Counter-Strike map created specifically for competitive play. Despite this fact, the map saw many growing pains upon its release and for once it wasn't due to being CT-sided. On release, the map appeared to be very T-sided with pros noting how easy it was to gain map control and execute on to the A bomb s
CS:GO is a team game, and it takes proper coordination to find success in it. Even though individual brilliance carries a lot of weight, no game is winnable without the help of teammates and a proper game p
Practice makes perfect, Source 2 Engine as the sniper's adage of "one shot, one kill" rings entirely true here. However, it fails to mention that missing that "one shot" can have catastrophic results. This bolt action rifle has a significant cooldown between shots that needs to be taken into account, but a skilled player can practically run-and-gun with this monster, proving unstoppable even in close-quart
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
Unlike games such as Valorant, where skins are bought directly from a store and are infinite, in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive knives and many other items are only created when players open cases. This causes real-money skin prices to reflect supply and demand. This means knives can be a costly purchase. According to Skincashier, the most expensive known knife sale was a StatTrak M9 Bayonet, Crimson Web, Factory New, which cost in excess of $60,
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
The task of reaching a bomb site and planting the bomb successfully can be quite daunting as a Terrorist. There are multiple ways of how to approach a bomb site, and a lot depends upon the players’ playstyle along with the
The competitive multiplayer game market spans nearly every genre, from shooters like Call of Duty to puzzle games like Tetris 99 . Games like Fortnite and Mario Kart pride themselves on being accessible and fun for people of all ages and skill levels. They're easy to get into, and often simple to pick up and gain basic mastery. However, many games in this massive genre suffer from the oppos
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
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
The M4A1-S would be the de facto best rifle for the CT side if the M4A4 did not exist. The M4A1-S is silenced and has significantly easier-to-control recoil than the M4A4, but has a slower rate of fire and a smaller magazine, making it less valued. The gun is still incredible. Due to its better recoil, the M4A1-S is a fantastic long-range rifle that will serve you well in wiping out enemies from afar. A newer player looking to improve would find the M4A1-S to be more forgiving and easier to learn with than the M
