Ranking The 10 Best Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Maps

While others emphasized what Valve was up to, this blog was all about what fans were doing. It started out as a website before transitioning into a Discord server and a Twitter page. Now, it’s a fully-fledged social network in the making. I’ve long followed LambdaGeneration, so I was ecstatic when they reached out to me about an interview for the new initative. This group has always been the go-to place to find what the community is up to, or to uncover hidden gems - a new resource like this is a total game-changer.


Counter Strike: Global Offensive is one of the most popular shooters of all time. The tactical FPS still has a massive audience — close to a million players at any given time — despite releasing in 2


The Desert Eagle, also mocked as the "Deagle", is an incredibly cheap pistol that gets the job done. It's known throughout the game as the great equalizer. The Deagle is one of the very few weapons capable of a one-shot kill, and when used properly, is entirely capable of winning a round on its


Apex Legends: Surprisingly enough, even the battle royale Apex Legends had a Surf Map Mod that accommodates the hero shooter. Courtesy of modder Skeptation, he’s managed to transform an area in the World’s Edge Map into a very own Surfing Map. Combined with a mobile Legend’s movement abilities , Surfing in Apex Legends can get crazy real qu


Updated April 24th, 2021 by Emma Majoros: CS:GO, being one of the most successful FPS games of all time, understandably has a giant fan base. Throughout the evolution of the game, new maps , skins, and weapons have been introduced, each one with a unique style and feel. Some of these were considered to be a success, and some were unfortunate flops. Whichever the case, in this list, both categories will shine, as we go over the best and worst weapons in the franch


Skilled players can win an entire game they have no right to win, with just this beast in their arsenal. However, missing a shot can be fatal, as as a defensive weapon, it has close to no legs to stand on. It's surely a make-or-break weapon, and those who used it once just can't get enough of

Players familiar with the classic Counter-Strike formula will appreciate Valorant for its unique hero shooter spin. Valorant pins squads of heroes against each other in a futuristic narrative where the light itself becomes weaponized - alongside a wide variety of technological advanceme


While CS:GO is the modern iteration of the Surfing concept, it takes a lot of the basic concepts from its previous iterations. These include much of the controls and the core mechanics. Here’s a quick run-through as to how to navigate Surf Maps in CS:


Classic Counter-Strike players will enjoy Dust II since it is what the professional players often play. In respect to level difficulty, you'll notice that winning a Dust II match is exceedingly tricky. The map is quite large, and newbies don't know how to play the map. It seems like the difficulty raises when you play Dust II, which is probably because the most experienced Counter-Strike players like to play this map. Planting at A is way easier than B, but protecting the bomb at A site after being planted is challeng


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

For context, Team Fortress and counter-strike 2 weapons started as fan-made Half-Life spin-offs that Valve eventually roped into its own official library; fans and mods have always been at the epicenter of Valve’s business model. With how integral the community has been to Half-Life throughout its history, it’s no surprise that the scene is still thriving despite the lack of official content.

At its core, Surfing relies on the modification of the game’s strafe mechanic to work. As fans remember, players can strafe in the game or walk left and right by pressing the A and D keys, respectively. In the core gameplay, pressing W and either the A and D keys would have the player walk diagonally. This movement, alongside strafing itself, is a core Surfing mechanic. Here’s how to strafe prope


Sliding has a key difference between the two games. In Source , there’s a slight sliding animation when landing that adds more momentum to Surfing. In contrast, CS:GO stops movement when landing complet
