Now that red dots have been added back to the mini-map, it means that a lot of players have started using silencers on their weapons , making it extremely difficult to initiate flanks or attack strategies. The UAV can definitely help out with this, but if a team really wants to get a step-up over their opponents, they need to call in an Advanced UAV which will highlight the enemies on the map, showing their exact movements and the direction they are fac
The original TimeSplitters didn’t have much going on in terms of its story. Each of its missions involved rushing into a heavily-defended location, collecting a special item, and rushing back to the collection point while the titular extraterrestrial creatures begin to teleport in and attack. Taking place in the past and futuristic locations, one of the levels is a horror-themed haunted house filled with zombies and mutants. It’s just the kind of place that would be filled with shock and horr
As we look through the history of gaming, not every failed title has made a comeback. However, there are a few examples of games that not only made a comeback, but have also continued to perform well since their resurrect
POSTAL 2 is a wacky game. Just when the Postal Dude thinks he can go day by day completing simple tasks like going to work and getting meat for a BBQ, things often take a drastically bad turn. Of course, the option of being a pacifist or a raging lunatic is entirely up to the player, which is an important aspect of the title and its many mods , too. On ‘ Wednesday,’ completing the bleak task of urinating on the Dude’s detested father’s grave turns sour after he’s knocked out and abducted by redne
Ubisoft reacted by making many much-needed adjustments and balances to the game during its first year. The end result was a well-balanced shooter that saw a rise in players and interest. Thanks to the developer releasing a steady stream of new free maps and paid DLC, gamers had fresh content available to enjoy in the game. That coupled with Rainbow Six: Siege ’s position as a potential candidate for competitive gaming has helped the once written-off title become a major player in the first-person shooter ge
It might surprise people that Pokemon wasn’t always considered a top-tier gaming property. When it was first debuted in Japan, the first Pokemon games, Pokemon Red and Green , experienced modest sales. Sure, the game’s creator, Satoshi Tajiri, was pleased with the opportunity to release his dream creation, but the overall sales weren’t stellar for Ninte
As of right now, the Swarm is tied with the Juggernaut for being the most expensive killstreak in the entire game, and while this may sound like a bad thing, it’s well worth the effort considering just how many kills it can rack up. Fans of Black Ops 2 might remember this killstreak being featured in that FPS Game ranking, but Sledgehammer has made it truly terrifying for enemy teams in Modern Warfare 3 since the small explosive drones are insanely fast and will cover every inch of the
When Blizzard launched Diablo 3 , gamers around the world rejoiced at the continuation of the Diablo franchise. Unfortunately for the developer, excitement for Diablo 3 quickly waned once reviews began to surface. For many critics and gamers, Diablo 3 didn’t measure up to expectations set by the first two games in the series. Many of the complaints hinged on the poor gear RNG (random numbers generator), which forced players to grind for hours just for a chance at better g
While actually playing Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is very close to the Source experience, it’s just different enough to force gamers into making some mental adjustments. Matches can still be over in 30 seconds, and each bullet truly counts. Communication between team members can make or break matches, whether it’s calling for cover fire or organizing a rush to Bombsite B. While there are no modified servers online, regular servers (with set map rotations, unfortunately) can be found in abundance. Also, it’s easier than ever to join a party of online friends. While it wasn’t hard before, the ability to join a lobby with a select group allows for much more organization when playing with friends. The scoring system is now much more functional as well, with a much cleaner design and scorebo
It’s therefore not uncommon for a single mine to get two kills at once, and since there are multiple of them that can be thrown out, it’s easy to imagine just how much chaos they can cause on modes like Hardpoint and Domination . The mines can admittedly be set off very easily, which can make them simple to destroy, but they’re also very difficult to actually see, so this isn’t too much of a prob
While the launch version of the game contained more than a few bugs , Valve was able to quickly deliver patches to bring what is now a very smooth experience to both PC and console gamers. Global Offensive offers an updated graphics engine to the Counter-Strike series, attempting to attract a new generation of gamers with a more accessible title for both console and computers – and the fact that it was designed for both during production has its own pros and c
