The Biggest Twitch Gambling Stream Controversies to Date

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

Choosing to go to A or B may make the difference between losing a life and achieving the objective. Since the map Inferno has two spread out bomb sites, players on the defending side are well advised to place half their players at each site. Since planters can stick together and follow the same route, Inferno is deemed to be T sided. The map design of Inferno is not bad, but in practice, the map just misses the mark. Despite its flaws, people will continue to play and enjoy Infe

There is at least one reason why Train has appeared in Counter-Strike, Counter-Strike: Source , and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive . It happens to be a delightful map that is relatively balanced for both teams. Sprinting into A site like the game is Call of Duty is just about the worst thing you can do. Plenty of players think Call of Duty and CS: GO are similar. Attackers are advised to stick together, communicate with team members, and choose a bomb site. Both bomb sites on Train can be reached easily, so you may as well have your squad with you when plant

It’s thanks to Quake Champions that fans of this iconic franchise can rejoice in the hit shooter’s return to the gaming scene. After all, before Quake Champions ’ 2017 release, the last installment in the franchise was Quake 4 in 2005. With this in mind, Quake Champions marks not just a return to form to the arena shooter, but the introduction of additional elements that make it just as exciting an experience for modern f

My choice would have to be Final Fantasy 7 - PART 2! It may sound strange, but something along the lines of a Final Fantasy 7 video game sequel would be awesome. Final Fantasy 7 had a great story, great leading hero in Cloud, and a fascinating supporting cast in Red XIII, Aeris, Baret, Vincent (who even received his own spin off), Cid, and Cait Sith. To cap it all off an all time classic bad ass villain in the form of Sephr

Maps in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive are mostly new, but some of the classics from Counter-Strike and Counter-Strike: Source have been remade for CS: GO . If you're like many CS: GO players, you've played the game for over 100 hours. This is ranking the 10 best Counter-Strike: Global Offensive m

The so-called "complex" story of Stranglehold: some bad guys have your daughter and your ex girlfriend, and you have to keep pulling the trigger at said bad guys until you find them. To give an even shorter description, it's like Max Payne with 40% less story and 50% more act

First on my list is Legend of Dragoon . Granted, it had a super generic story. You are on a mission to collect dragon spirits and gain allies, while the main character Dart is seeking revenge on the black monster that killed his fam

Thanks to the game's extremely straightforward mechanics, Team Fortress remains one of the easiest FPS titles to get into. Its class-based system makes it easy for players to get into sub-genres such as hero shooters, whereas its combat paves the way for more fast-paced tit

While the future for the game is bright, Counter-Strike is a franchise that loves to pay homage and respect to its roots. As such it is one of the few, if not the only game that has remained mechanically identical since its inception. This familiarity extends to the maps that for some have surpassed 20 years of active competitive play. So, the best way to pay respect to these maps is to rank the best Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has to of

Although the idea of buying the most expensive weapon every round can be tempting, it’s certainly not the right approach. It’s important to manage the economy so that you are never low on the bud

Managing the economy is one of the most important aspects of performing well in CS:GO . After each round in a game, players will get money depending upon the performance in the prior round. The better you do, the more money you get. Kills, Assist, Bomb defusing, and planting all affect the amount of money you

In my opinion, Squaresoft's seminal Super Nintendo action RPG Secret of Evermore is desperately in need of a sequel. Filled to the brim with a fun and clever story, beautifully diverse level design and Valve IP compliance the unique alchemy-based magic system, Secret of Evermore is one franchise that Square should definitely attempt to revi

The popularity and stardom that Counter-Strike Global Offensive has garnered over the last decade is nothing short of amazing. A staple in the FPS genre, every gamer has come across or at least heard of the game at some point. Although the game is almost a decade old, new players are still joining the game on a regular basis. Embarking a journey in CS:GO is not always easy, and there are a lot of nuances that need to be understood in order to gain success in the g
