Borderlands is best played with a keyboard and mouse. It is a first-person shooter that provides stellar accuracy with the keyboard and mouse combination. If it were a fighting or racing game, this discussion wouldn’t be happening in the first pl
Before I tear into 2012 titles like Alan Wake: Night Springs , Mass Effect 3 , BioShock: Infinite , SSX , and Borderlands 2 , it’s time for me to play catch-up after a busy November of reviews. I managed to resist the pull of both Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3 , though it will be a holiday miracle if I don’t end up caving this month and enlisting in one or the other military campaign. However, more importantly, I’m about to return to the hallowed halls of the assassins for Assassins’ Creed: Revelations . Desmond’s fourth trip into the Animus was one of my most anticipated titles of 2011 and I’m fully committed to becoming a master assassin – as well as collecting all the miscellaneous garbage Ubisoft has scattered around Constantinople. I’ve also got to clean-up some collectibles as well as pawn n00bs in a few of October/November’s biggest titles, Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception and Gears of War 3 . That, and I’m going to dance my heart out in Dance Central 2 – and if high scores and smooth dance moves aren’t enough motivation, I’ve got a bet to
On its launch in 2015, Rainbow Six Siege had 20 unlockable operators for players to choose from, and a small pool of maps. Now, seven years later, the game sports 63 playable operators and 21 maps. Rainbow Six Siege was already difficult for new players thanks to its large maps, destructibility, and cs2 ragdoll physics layered strategy that requires good team play and communication. Now, with 63 operators and a massive player base, new players are often completely overwhel
Some would consider Cache to be the greatest Counter-Strike: Global Offensive map . The ingenuity behind Cache allows for sniping, but not a lot. Watch out for mid in Cache because that is where snipers like to camp. For the most part, battles on the map Cache are fought in close-quarters. With a shipping container placed beside A site, Cache can end with intense firefights where members of the attacking team try to stall for time, hiding behind the shipping container. The catwalk behind B is often a good place to camp. A’s bomb site is also close-quarter battles, so you may want to stock up on grena
Widely considered to be one of the parents of the modern battle royale, Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds has come a long way since its days of fame in early access. Though the player count isn’t as high as it once was, PUBG has only improved on its mechanics since launch. It has stayed true to its identity and provides a challenging alternative to games like Fortnite or Call of Duty: Warzone , where players can usually rack up eliminati
Managing the looting, complex gunplay, and punishing feelings of losing everything make Tarkov a true grind for newcomers. Its incredibly high TTK and lack of kill cams can make deaths feel impossible to learn from. Newcomers hoping to stick with the game will have to find a way to learn though, because Escape From Tarkov never holds the player’s h
Weapons sway more when aimed down sights, making even simple shots hard to pull off, and the map is filled with sound traps that reveal positions to other teams in a heartbeat. The overall flow and strategy of Hunt make it one of the hardest yet most satisfying games for newcomers to le
Most people would even go as far as to say that The Elder Scrolls is a great keyboard and mouse learning game. If players have never tried the keyboard and mouse, and they’re itching to play a role-playing game, The Elder Scrolls is appealing. It doesn’t have too many key bindings to make it needlessly complica
Like many difficult-to-learn shooters in the multiplayer market, Insurgency: Sandstorm plays very differently from the typical shooter. While not a true combat sim like Arma, Insurgency throws players into unique game modes with weapons that down foes in one to two shots. Insurgency’s incredibly fast time-to-kill (TTK) makes it intimidating for players who are used to arcade shooters like Call of D
Geographic location on the other hand is a strange one. Perhaps a player needs to move often, and that is outside of their control. Perhaps players need to use VPNs for undisclosed reasons, and that too may be out of their hands. Whatever the case, it would be fascinating to know more about how Valve uses this d
The beginning of Danger Zone games usually consist of players scanning the environment while deploying to look for the first small red supply crate that they see. The reason for this is that small red supply crates contain weapons and have no prerequisites to open (such as Molotov cocktails or melee weapons), which means that they can be opened as soon as the round sta
Agency is a newer Counter-Strike: Global Offensive map that was released on November 13, 2017. It seems like they did a good job making the map since only a few changes are needed. The map is pretty balanced, and the atmosphere of the level is enjoya
