The perfect mix between rifle and SMG, the UMP is a great jack of all trades. The UMP is the gun to buy when you can’t afford a full rifle, but you need to fight against them. While other SMGs like the MP9 fall off at longer ranges, the UMP gives the user a fighting chance while still possessing SMG killing power in close range. The UMP is also very user-friendly. It has a manageable recoil pattern that is not punishing to mess up. The UMP has been featured in many of the best FPS games of all time and it has been a great weapon in nearly all of them. CS:GO __ is no differ

If not for the M4A4, the M4A1-S would be the best rifle for the CT side, bar none. An added bonus is the fact that it’s silenced, and its handling is amazing. It has close to no recoil, making it one of the best long-range rifles in the g

“I came up with the idea in 2015. I could see how traditional blogs like ours were struggling as people moved to social media. The idea was to make something easy to use and run by the community. We’d seen others get their own dedicated apps and platforms like Doom with the Slayers Club and Star Wars with the Jedi Council Forums. We also love the idea of making a modern version of Planet Half-Life, which was a popular community-oriented fansite back in the day. We want to fill the void that is left.”

While a gamepad provides an ideal level of comfort, a keyboard and mouse offer superior performance. Particular genres are better suited for a mouse because of its DPI (dots per square inch). This gives better precision for first-person shooters or any other game that has to target in an isometric v

The Half-Life series is recognized as one of the greatest game series of all time. The latest entry, Half-Life: Alyx , is a virtual reality exclusive and is incompatible with a keyboard and mouse setup. This is a series that is continually pushing innovation with gameplay way ahead of its t

It’s hard to ignore the apparent advantages of playing Minecraft on PC versus a console. With more customizable textures, versions that are several ahead, and an endless wave of mods to integrate into the vanilla game, PC is the definitive platf

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.

“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.

This, doubled with the game’s wildly difficult execution, makes the game one of the hardest for newcomers to approach in the fighting game scene. KoF XV has tons of pretzel inputs that are physically hard to pull off, and can lead to injured wrists if done too often or incorrectly. All in all, KoF XV is a fun yet brutal game for newcomers to le

As a result, DotA 2 is overwhelming for newcomers. Playing the game is like learning a new language. Nothing really makes sense, and the terms and strategies don’t really carry over from any other game (except other MOBAs). Like Counter-Strike 2 esports , this game has a large pre-established player base that will probably be toxic to newcomers from the get

Newcomers need to learn dozens of characters and abilities, and master the complex maps all while probably getting yelled at by angry Siege veterans over the mic. While learning and playing Rainbow Six Siege can feel very satisfying, it certainly will take dedicat

The AK-47 is an icon both inside and outside of the game, and is most definitely a fan favorite. It sells at a decent price point, is capable of one-shotting armored opponents with a solid strike to the head, and is incredibly accurate for those that have mastered tap-fir

Another element of CS:GO that many people tend to overlook is the fact that it would cause many teams to become predictable. Currently, teams must adapt to one another and constantly change the way in which they play depending on the opponent they are facing. When a new team like Crazy comes into the fold, many teams don’t have enough information about them to effectively counter-strat them, leading to upsets and changes in the game’s overall meta. Each team, depending on their home region, has a specific way of playing the game, which helps to keep it fresh and excit
