Encampments are small establishments located around Urzikstan populated by Terminus Mercenaries. Players will want to use extreme caution when approaching these locations, as t he forces stationed at the encampment will begin firing on players immediately. In higher threat zones, players will encounter snipers and stormtroopers at these outposts that can quickly destroy armor and knock down play

Valve certainly has no shortage of gamers still coming back for Counter-Strike 1.6 and Counter-Strike: Source , which attracts both casual players and those who want to try and etch their name into the still-active professional gaming scene. Now, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive aims to bring a streamlined and graphically-enhanced edition of the game to players around the globe - but does this latest iteration also manage to stay true to the core successes of the sacred franch

Another underrated game from a smaller developer, Farm 51's Chernobylite offers players an intense and largely narrative-focused FPS game mods experience with survival and RPG mechanics implemented, too. While many comparisons have been drawn to the likes of the Stalker and Metro series, Chernobylite is smaller in scope and more linear than open-wo

Successfully passing through each ring plays an audio cue. Do it for all three and a rift will open to reward the Death Perception Perk. Remember that this Easter egg challenge can be attempted again if failed, so there is no need to worry about completing it the first t

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

Stop your ATV/Motorcycle right beneath it and wait for a few seconds until an audio cue (demonic laugh) plays. That is when you hit the pedal and race down the highway until the next road sign. Cross it and a rift should open to reward you with a free Quick Revive Perk. If you fail, head back to the first road sign and start ag

The fortress is also surrounded by defending outposts, camouflaged against the hillside and trees. Players will need to keep their eye out for these outposts as failing to eliminate the troops guarding the fortress perimeter will allow players to quickly be overwhelmed if they reveal their position. Additionally, the fortress will deploy an attack helicopter to push players back and if players have not eliminated the perimeter troops, there will be no safe route to escape or retreat temporarily . If players can quietly eliminate all the surrounding troops, and if an LMG or launcher is brought to deal with the helicopter, players will set themselves up to safely retreat without losing progress in attempting to infiltrate the fortr

Especially when tackling these outposts in higher-tier threat areas, players will want to be prepared for a harsh fight as the Terminus Outcome forces can be incredibly fatal if players allow themselves to get overwhelmed or get caught out of position. Here's what to expect when tackling Encampments, Strongholds, and Fortres

Global Offensive brings in fresh versions of well-known maps, weapons and game-modes that older players will certainly remember. Bundled with 17 maps total (including 9 classics), there's plenty of room for nostalgia when exploring a now exceedingly-detailed de_dust or admiring the new cracked window physics in cs_office. While fan-favorites like cs_militia and cs_assault are curiously absent (impending DLC, anyone?), Valve has done a tremendous job in regards to updating the maps - while retaining the vibrancy and atmosphere that helped them stand out. The new bomb defusal and hostage rescue maps are nicely designed and feature a lot of tactically-heavy areas, despite their comparatively short s

Players will want to be fully prepared for an army-sized fight , as the fortress is guarded by all varieties of mercenaries and helicopters will continuously deploy new mercenaries to defend the area. Players will want to upgrade their Pack-a-Punch level and weapon rarity, and add an ammo modification before considering tackling the fortress. Be fully plated and have spare armor available before approaching the fortress, the snipers will begin attempting to pierce and break players' armor the moment players approach their line of si
