It is fascinating that before even mentioning the skill-based aspects of matchmaking, it is behavior associated with cheating or what we could interpret as toxicity is addressed first. Obviously there needs to be a focus on isolating cheaters from non-cheaters, but one might have guessed that skill would have taken a predominate spot in determining the Trust Factor for placing one player with similarly skilled oth

The Navaja is a fairly unpopular knife in the CS:GO community, which is no exaggeration. CS:GO skin YouTuber TDM_Heyzeus used community votes from nearly 3,000 people to rank the knives from best to worst, and the Navaja was voted the worst by a considerable mar

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
For example, when Tyloo started making its way to major tournaments, most teams played a slow and methodical version of Counter-Strike: GO , with the likes of Navi waiting until 30 seconds or less to execute onto a site. Tyloo, being based in Asia, played in a scrim-like style that was customary for their region, moving at a much faster pace than most top teams were used to seeing and catching them off guard. Soon after, you saw legendary teams like Liquid adopting some elements of Tyloo's playstyle into their own, helping them to eventually earn the top spot as the best t
The Skeleton Knife in Urban Masked looks simple and allows you to appreciate the design and shape of the knife itself. The knife has a hole in the middle of it between the handle and blade, making it one of the most interesting weapon designs to date. Urban Masked is a skin that looks almost the same in all conditions besides Battle-Scarred, so you can opt for a cheaper version and be largely unable to tell the differe
Valve’s newest effort at matchmaking assigns players with a value known as the Trust Factor. This is a hidden value that considers several points to help place a player into a match.

Newcomers getting into the FPS genre might feel overwhelmed at first at the idea of Rainbow Six: Siege . Due to the tactical nature of Rainbow Six Siege , players need to rely on careful planning, reconnaissance with drones and CS2 Prime Rewards cameras, and even reinforcing (or breaking through) walls and doors. On top of these mechanics are a wide array of Attackers and Defenders that, with their unique abilities, augment a team's already-expansive tool

Updated April 24th, 2021 by Emma Majoros: CS:GO, being one of the most successful FPS games of all time, understandably has a giant fan base. Throughout the evolution of the game, new maps , skins, and weapons have been introduced, each one with a unique style and feel. Some of these were considered to be a success, and some were unfortunate flops. Whichever the case, in this list, both categories will shine, as we go over the best and worst weapons in the franch
Practice makes perfect, 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
