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

Quick Revive is also a huge help in situations where players get surprised by a surprise zombie or, in the worst cases, a surprise horde. Being able to disengage the mercenaries and quickly heal, dispatch the zombies and heal, then return to the mercenary fight, can be instrumental in completion of this contract. Additionally, the increased regeneration factor can be a literal life-saver when players are locked in place, disabling an extractor. Remember that players can lay down during this process, taking cover from most fire - as long as there is not a mercenary immediately behind the player. If players begin receiving damage while attempting to disable an extractor, laying down and letting Quick Revive work its magic can help players avoid interruptions in progress and having to start the hack from the beginn

A twist on a classic mission from Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War's Outbreak zombie mode where players had to defend two aether extractors from zombies, the tables are turned in Modern Warfare Zombies as players will be tasked with destroying three extractors in the redesigned Aether Extractors contract. Players will want to gear up to fight through ruthless enemy mercenaries, armed to the teeth and not willing to go down without a fight. Players will need to complete this contract as a mission objective for the fourth tier 3 mission in Operation Deadbolt , Sabot

When Rockstar Games first announced GTA Online , there was a collective round of applause within the gaming world. Finally, gamers would have the opportunity to enjoy the incredible, immersive world of Grand Theft Auto with their friends. But unfortunately, the amazing idea struggled at launch, with GTA Online experiencing server issues and numerous bugs. The problems with GTA Online drove many gamers to other titles, leaving a gaping hole of disappointment in Rockstar’s prized creat

The radial buy menu will feel like a compromise between PC and console gamers. It evidently makes things easier with a controller, but is still very nested and awkward on the computer. Granted, most avid Counter-Strike players will be using numbered shortcuts anyway, but it's a good example of one of the game's biggest challenges - making the game work on consoles, but still retaining the playstyle of the PC edition. The drawback here is that despite Valve's previous efforts, Counter-Strike was never a series that could be properly played on consoles - the speed of mice-based players allowed for gameplay that an Xbox controller could never hope to match. Still, Hidden Path has done a great job in retaining the spirit of the originals, and Global Offensive proves to be entertaining for both veteran gamers and newbies to the franchise, regardless of what platform they cho

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

Additionally, players will also gain the ability to unleash a small nuclear blast on zombies by flopping on the ground. The original golden feature of the perk is back - and the distance players fall after sprinting and diving to flop on the ground will determine the damage and range of the blast. Players can use this blast to quickly drop large groups of zombies if a small elevated platform is available to dive f

Ubisoft reacted by making many much-needed adjustments and balances to the FPS Game Story Guide 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
