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
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
While Wildermyth has received controller support, using a gamepad to play this game is nowhere near as intuitive as a mouse and keyboard. There's a reason why this game constantly needs updates to make the controller more viable to play while the mouse and keyboard controls have remained fairly intact and preferred by m
As one of the oldest and most storied maps in competitive Counter-Strike history, Jo Bieg's creation in BETA 4.0 of the original Counter-Strike mod has seen iterations and remakes across every single game. Needless to say, Nuke is iconic and up there with the likes of Inferno and Dust II. Due to its reputation, crosshair sharing CS2 it was the second map to receive a significant revision to not only update the aesthetic but also resolve issues that have persisted for ye
By far the most common mistake that many new players make in Danger Zone is redeploying in heavily contested areas on the map. These are zones where several teams may be fighting at once, making it a dangerous area to redeploy i
As it stands the map is heavily CT-sided, especially at the casual level. While there are many options for the T-side to combat a lot of the strengths the CT-side has, many players have cited this to be difficult to execute outside of coordinated and disciplined teams. Meta changes since the map's introduction have done little to change this leading to most matches feeling boring and predictable as to the outcome of the g
Although many players prefer a controller for The Elder Scrolls , the keyboard and mouse combination is more intuitive. As a game with a variety of spells to switch between, the keyboard and mouse are incompara
A former meta-defining weapon, the SG552 was nerfed , and for good reason. The Terrorist exclusive SG 553, or Krieg as it is known by many, was able to do everything an AK could do, but with a scope. Although the rifle is not a must-have weapon anymore, it is still a fantastic gun. It is an excellent weapon at holding angles, making it a beast in post-plant situations. It also is quite capable in longer-range engageme
Tekken takes these pains and doubles them with tons of jargon that newcomers have probably never heard. Not only that, but each character has dozens of moves, with some even having over 100 moves on their lists! If learning this for one character isn't intimidating enough, newcomers will quickly find that it's important to understand match-ups and learn other characters' moves in order to play off their opponents. Like many of these games though, it's incredibly rewarding to learn Tekken and climb its ra
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
Until it’s a rush round or an economy round, it’s never a bright idea to carry the spike while leading the team from the front. If you die, the bomb basically is now in CT’s territory, and reclaiming it can be a has
However, the weapon compensates for this high damage and rate of fire by introducing massive recoil that can make the weapon quite unwieldy at times, especially in long-range shootouts. Users are better off closing the distance and limiting their shots with this weapon to make the most of
Originally released in 2012, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has built a massive Esports scene and has thousands of players online at any given time. For better or worse, it defined the childhoods of many modern gamers. Players cannot aim down sights, and the guns have set spray patterns rather than varying degrees of recoil. This creates a noticeable skill gap between newcomers and veterans, but what's worse is the commun
Just like in any other battle royale game, it is generally a good idea in Danger Zone for players to select a landing zone that is close to their teammates. The reason for this is that teammates can work together to scavenge a whole area and can then move out as a team to hunt enemy players around the
