For context, Team Fortress and Counter-Strike 2 ranking Guide 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.

This aside, the Navaja Knife, Ultraviolet, Factory New is a good-looking knife. Ultraviolet finishes look good on pretty much anything, so it's no surprise that the best-looking Navaja knife uses it. The simple colours and minimalist design make it look clean and sleek whilst also hiding the base appearance, which leaves much to be desired. The unsightly wooden handle in most Navaja knives is replaced with a solid colour of purple, which pairs perfectly with the black bl

Unlike games such as Valorant, where skins are bought directly from a store and are infinite, in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive knives and many other items are only created when players open cases. This causes real-money skin prices to reflect supply and demand. This means knives can be a costly purchase. According to Skincashier, the most expensive known knife sale was a StatTrak M9 Bayonet, Crimson Web, Factory New, which cost in excess of $60,

Some of the sites Alex is talking about were centered around maps, while others focused on larger overhauls. There were also a few that dug into leaks, rumors, and speculation, propping up the fans who were trying to sift through Valve’s silence to find answers.

The first two points quite literally seem to indicate that more money spent in game on cosmetics translating to being more trustworthy. Perhaps there is some truth to this, as spending real money in a game may dissuade a user from cheating and risking the lose of an account, but it still seems odd without confirmation of that i

As for 2012, well, anyone who knows me well knows that I'm a Metro 2033 fanboy, so my most anticipated title is Metro: Last Light . I'm also a huge fan of Yakuza 3 meaning I'm stoked for Yakuza: Dead Souls , not to mention BioShock Infinite , Prey 2 , Alan Wake: Night Springs , Binary Domain , and Operation Raccoon City as my first Resident Evil game, not to mention I have a nice shiny PlayStation Vita First Edition bundle with my name on it. I also plan to play Mass Effect 3 but I'm trying to keep my hype meter low for that

You do get a generous pool of ammunition per reload, which is a merit on its own. But poor accuracy and unremarkable damage generally make this one a pass when there are far more reliable sidearms available for purch

Who says there are no good games released in December? Mario Kart 7 , Nintendo's latest entry into it's iconic racing franchise is coming this year, and it's coming to a 3DS. What better way to ignore family at those tedious holiday get togethers than by racing down Rainbow Road? Still not sold? Well maybe you should check out our Mario Kart 7 review to see why this is one of the 3DS' hottest tit

The only thing I'm probably going to be playing during December is Skyrim … that ought to hold anyone over for at least a year. 2012: Max Payne 3 , Mass Effect 3, and BioShock: Infinite … all third entries in their respective series… this franchise thing is getting out of hand sometimes. Luckily, they're all going to be good ga

Currently, there is no way to financially support the self-funded fan-site, but there are plans to potentially open a Patreon in the future. LambdaGeneration seems like the inevitable next step in this saga, a hot-spot for Half-Life devotees to enjoy.

With a much-needed break coming this month, My plan is to first and foremost put some serious time into Skyrim . As an RPG fan, that's the game at the top of my list, but only slightly ahead of Uncharted 3, Modern Warfare 3, Battlefield 3 , finishing Gears of War 3 and Halo Anniversary . Of course, i'll have to get those out of the way before Star Wars: The Old Republic . I've never been a big MMO player, but this one might just do it. If nothing else, this dose of BioWare storytelling will tide me over until Mass Effect

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

Proper matchmaking in online games is difficult to do well, put simply, but recent patent filings by Valve give users a peek behind the curtain at the various data miners at work in establishing the Trust Factor in CS:GO . There is quite a bit of information in these patents that range from 2018 to 2020 , and of course, not all of the point below can be said to contribute to an individual’s Trust Factor, though in reality most probably are to some deg
