CS:GO - Survival Tips For The CoD Generation

MMGN.com writes: Counter-Strike; it's a name you've heard uttered by your older brother, father, uncle or grandfather, but you've never bothered to check it out for yourself, passing it off as an older, inferior game when compared to the run-and-gun antics of CoD warfare. With the impending release of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive however, you're keen to see what all the fuss it about, and why over a decade later, this franchise is still the king of online shooters.

lol wait so "sound whoring", knowing the maps and using cover is not an integral part to COD? uhhh huuuuuhhhhhh.

always crouch when an enemy is nearby? Did this guy just started playing CS? crouching restricts your movement speed especially your strafing... that is the last thing you want to do when you want to get the jump on someone from around the corner.

hellerphant5023d ago

I've been playing CS for about 7 years mate. For newcomers I think it's important that they learn each section of each map, and spend most of their time crouching until they learn when you should move quickly and when you should sit back.

Yes sound and knowing maps help n CoD, but let's be honest, any fool can run into the game and shoot their way to victory with ease.

Maybe I've been away from cs for too long but I'd recommend a newbie to crouch when enemies are nearby too unless on the offensive. Telling someone who is used to cod's level of recoil to strafe and fire accurately at the same time is like telling someone with one leg to run 200m.

4 or 5 players in a game is not players frantically dusting it off

Jin_Sakai959d ago

We all know that videogamer.com went to each and every Xbox 360 owners house to watch them frantically dust off their 360s.

Vits959d ago

I mean it is a 1000% growth in the player-base. /s

mandf959d ago

Enough to write an article though. N4g new owners are insulting us for click revenue

Vits959d ago

@mandf

Nothing to do with new owners. N4G has always been the trashcan for game news and discussion.

northpaws959d ago

I love video games so much that I never have the time to replay the old one that I have finished, my backlog has only gotten bigger and bigger. I don't get how some people can play one game for years (except for mmorpg)

mandf959d ago

It's an exaggeration to the extreme. A way making an exclusive seen grander than it is.

Profchaos959d ago

Some people do I know someone who only ever plays dune 2000 which is rarely but still

RedDevils958d ago

Those Fifa or COD players do that every years.

Inverno959d ago

Wonder why they've never ported this game over to last Gen and now current Gen. This game would be pretty popular right now, I think.

Players Spent Over $100 Million On CS:GO Cases Last Month, A New Record

About 39.5 million loot boxes were opened throughout March 2023, right after Valve announced Counter-Strike 2. It goes without saying that gamers love gambling, especially those who play Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

I have about 260 hours on csgo and have not spent a single penny on any of the microtransactions. You can still enjoy it since it's not pay to win.

‘Counter-Strike 2’ Release Date Nears As Devs Test Source 2

The rumours are heating up and it looks like Counter-Strike 2, the move onto the Source 2 engine for CS:GO, is coming very soon based on testing files found on Steam.

ZycoFox1158d ago

S&box devs already have access to Source 2 and have done for a while.

DOTA 2 was Source 2 but hardly anyone noticed/cared because it wasn't one of the Valve games most wanted. L4D3 was scrapped because Source 2 wasn't ready and buggy.

Half Life Alyx has been the only official Source 2 game that people notice so far.. The engine still looks pretty good graphically, but it looked far more impressive back in 2014 when the leaked plantation level that was rebuilt on Source 2 (for L4D2) was shown. Too bad it took this long for Valve to do anything with the engine.. with all the money they have I have to wonder what happened. Even a smaller dev studio could've produced stuff within a couple of years.

Richhard11156d ago

Not sure why this hyped tbh, it’s only in updated engine. Same maps, same game. So long as it’s top of steam listings, it’ll be here for evermore.
