As one of the few maps created by Valve, Ancient was released on December 3, 2020, as part of Operation Broken Fang. It wouldn't be until May 3, 2021, when the map was moved to the active map pool replacing Train. While Train was a well-liked and balanced map to the CS:GO community, there was some sentiment that it did start to feel a bit stale despite being one of the first maps to be reworked. This was apparent in the decline in pick rate at the professional level, but especially in casual play which is likely the cause for the remo
Some would consider Cache to be the greatest Counter-Strike: Global Offensive map . The ingenuity behind Cache allows for sniping, but not a lot. Watch out for mid in Cache because that is where snipers like to camp. For the most part, battles on the map Cache are fought in close-quarters. With a shipping container placed beside A site, Cache can end with intense firefights where members of the attacking team try to stall for time, hiding behind the shipping container. The catwalk behind B is often a good place to camp. A's bomb site is also close-quarter battles, so you may want to stock up on grena
Alex's point is an important one. I occasionally jump to Reddit to find out what's going on with the community, perhaps to discuss some wild theories about the G-Man after a long day of bunny-hopping through the waterways of Half-Life 2, but the subs are drowned in memes. So, I go to Twitter, where it's near-impossible to find any structured form of discussion. The only spot to find community content in a neat package was LambdaGeneration, but even then it was curated by fans - what was being lost in that process? LambdaGeneration’s new social media platform addresses all of these issues.
However, when you are loaded with utilities such as Smoke Grenade and Flashbang, you should try to use them before making a Hail Mary run. Dying without using the utilities will not only harm your economy, but you are also donating free goodies to the opposing t
For many people, Counter-Strike is the most competitive and foremost first-person shooter. Despite Counter-Strike: Global Offensive releasing in 2012, Valve trade restrictions Corporation and Hidden Path Entertainment continually add sizeable updates to the game. The first Counter-Strike game released in the year 2000. Many changes have been made to improve CS: GO gameplay, but the fundamentals of Counter-Strike have stayed the same. Like its predecessors, players achieve objectives through two different game modes. Much of the game's success is owed to its ingenious map des
The only thing I'm probably going to be playing during December is Skyrim … that ought to hold anyone over for at least a year. 2012: Max Payne 3 , Mass Effect 3, and BioShock: Infinite … all third entries in their respective series… this franchise thing is getting out of hand sometimes. Luckily, they're all going to be good ga
“The concept for LambdaGeneration was simple - we wanted to create a site that would share all of the amazing fan content the Half-Life and Valve community make,” Alex says.“ At the time, most Valve fansites were focused on official news and there weren’t any news sites dedicated to things made by the community. I remember being frustrated seeing some really cool stuff scattered around various forums just going unnoticed, and I wanted to fix that.
As the newest map to be introduced into the active pool, Anubis has had some controversy upon its inclusion, to say the least. Designed by Roald, jakuza, and jd40, the map was first added to the game on March 31, 2020, to the Scrimmage mode before eventually being moved to Competitive 10 days later. This is notable as it was only the second map to be added to Competitive via this method as before this Cache was the only one to make it. Given this fact, there seemed to be a lot of positive feedback for the map since Cache is a very well-loved
At a glance, Superhot seems like a game tailor-made for controllers. Aiming in first person is challenging, and Superhot makes things slightly easier by slowing down time to a crawl as players try and nail the best shot possi
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
In just one week, the LambdaGeneration social network has amassed 1,000 users - and that number is still growing. This includes fans, creators, developers, and the staff keeping the cogs whirring. The site fills a gap in the Valve community, something in between archaic forums and the more meme-heavy Reddit. There are pages for news, modding, fan art, films, music, and lore, letting you find whatever you want with ease. Otherwise, you can sort by trending, new, and top. There are user profiles, badges, and more, combining the best elements of different social media sites to create a Valve-centric juggernaut.
