The Freehand finish is similar to the Damascus Steel, because it has very intricate and elegant patterns inside the skin. The Freehand uses ancient-looking inscription designs on the blade, which also has an otherworldly feel to it. The knife's condition will determine how much of the pattern is on the blade and Cs2 Skins transfer not scratched off, so if you particularly like the pattern, it may be worth paying extra for a better condition vers

But as much as I enjoyed the single player, the multiplayer is what really stood out for me - it was so unique. In each map there are 4 bunkers, and any one a player controls starts spawning soldiers. You can bring up to eight soldiers with you, and ordering them to defend different positions in the map adds an amazing tactical twist as players fight to control different bunkers. I cannot tell you how many hours I've poured into this game, but one thing is certain - I still haven't poured eno

Some competitive multiplayer games are tough for newcomers to get into. This can be because of the complexity of the game, or the toxic gatekeeping of the established community. While many development studios are trying to make their games as widely accessible as possible, there are still some that are an absolute grind for new players to le

Vagrant Story is my second choice. For starters, it is a Square game, and all of them get sequels. The hero, Ashley Riot, finds himself in a mystery of murder all while having his memories altered. The internal struggle of Ashley trying to figure out his real goal was quite emotio

I would love to see a refresh or a next installment of Counter-Strike . I played a metric ton of the game in it's heyday, and the fact that it still thrives online via Steam should be a tell-tale hint that a sequel would be nothing short of a rock-solid i

After all the money Final Fantasy 7 made you'd figure Square Enix would continue this story in another video game. A CGI movie sequel, Final Fantasy: Advent Children, came out years later , but that was never good enough for me. That’s a different medium. I want to see a video game sequel. I mean Street Fighter 2 had how many sequels before we saw part 3? Square could have done the same. I think Square dropped the ball on that one. It's not like it would have been difficult to do. Final Fantasy 7 screamed for a sequel, I thou

Before CS:GO players head straight to the Surf Maps , it may help to learn where the concept even came from. All leads point to Reddit user u/mariowned, who apparently invented the concept of "surfing" out of boredom. As u/mariowned, or Charlie Joyce explained in separate Reddit threads , he had a pastime of using the Valve Hammer level editor to create Counter-Strike maps for his friends to play

The CTs' weapon of choice, the M4A4 can do it all. It can hold its own in long-range firefights, wipe a rushing team in a single mag, and spam through smokes for what seems like an eternity, all while being fairly easy to use. If it had slightly higher damage, allowing it to one-shot armored opponents to the head, it would be the best weapon in the game. The M4A4 is one of the best weapons at dropping multiple enemies in a single spray thanks to its good mag size, damage, and recoil managem

So there you have it, the games we would like to most like to see sequels* made for. I guess it's true that you don't know what you have until it's gone. In a perfect world, a developer would see this and say "Hey! That's a great idea." But sadly this isn't a perfect world, so all we can do for now is dream and reminisce. Although all hope isn't lost, as this year's E3 is next month, and there is always a possibil

Prestrafing is nonexistent in unmodded CS:GO . Essentially, pre-strafing lets players gain speed by holding down strafe buttons while running - useful to gain momentum in Surf. Due to the competitive nature of CS:GO , this is removed from the vanilla g

Valve’s newest effort at matchmaking assigns players with a value known as the Trust Factor. This is a hidden value that considers several points to help place a player into a match. Valve has made it perfectly clear in this blog post that they will not revealing the specifics that modify this value because they do not want players to alter their behavior in an effort to manipulate the system. This is perfectly fair on their part, as players will go to great lengths to break video games, either just for fun, or to gain a competitive advant

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 , this game has a large pre-established player base that will probably be toxic to newcomers from the get

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
