While the launch version of the game contained more than a few bugs , Valve was able to quickly deliver patches to bring what is now a very smooth experience to both PC and console gamers. Global Offensive offers an updated graphics engine to the Counter-Strike series, attempting to attract a new generation of gamers with a more accessible title for both console and computers – and the fact that it was designed for both during production has its own pros and c

Head over to the Sorokin Industrial area in the northern part of the map to come across three circular statues. The challenge here is to glide through all three rings without touching the ground. For that purpose, you need to climb the tall smokestack northwest of the statues (marked on the map above) to get into posit
Any offensive armaments like the Mortar Strike can be excellent at quickly removing the Terminus forces around an extractor, just be careful not to get caught in the effect area. Throwable tactical and lethal equipment are also effective in this regard – when choosing between Epic tactical gear options, the Cymbal Monkeys or the Kazimir Device , the latter will pull the mercenaries into the blackhole effect , similar to zombies, making it more effective when dispatching a large group of Terminus goons . While the Cymbal Monkey does have an effective blast radius, the Mercenaries do not fall prey to the upbeat tune and will not gather around the explosion the way zombies would. Claymores and proximity mines can be useful at deterring recon assailants , but be cautious of proximity mine placement not to accidentally catch yourself in the blast if triggered by a mercenary. Thermite is also highly effective against groups and heavily armored troops like the shocktroop
The Akimbo feature has been a staple in the COD franchise for a while now, but it’s only available for select weapons in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone . While Akimbo weapons are almost entirely made up of options from the Handgun category , there are a few exceptions. Here is how to unlock and use Akimbo weapons in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzo
So, Activision reportedly generating FPS game DLC assets with AI, and selling these assets for what many would consider to be an exorbitant price, is understandably controversial. Whether they realize it or not, most people want their media to come from human minds and talent, not from an advanced computer program. Human creativity is what makes video games engaging, entertaining, and surprising, and generative AI is viewed as inherently formulaic and uninspired , making for a worse overall product at best, and a misleading sales proposition at wo
Successfully passing through each ring plays an audio cue. Do it for all three and a rift will open to reward the Death Perception Perk. Remember that this Easter egg challenge can be attempted again if failed, so there is no need to worry about completing it the first t
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 sees the somewhat adorable Mister Peeks bring back several Perk-a-Colas for the sake of mowing down zombies across the new Urzikstan map . Combining the best elements of DMZ and Outbreak, returning players will want to get their hands on these perks to not only increase their survival chances but also because they are f
Global Offensive brings in fresh versions of well-known maps, weapons and game-modes that older players will certainly remember. Bundled with 17 maps total (including 9 classics), there’s plenty of room for nostalgia when exploring a now exceedingly-detailed de_dust or admiring the new cracked window physics in cs_office. While fan-favorites like cs_militia and cs_assault are curiously absent (impending DLC, anyone?), Valve has done a tremendous job in regards to updating the maps – while retaining the vibrancy and atmosphere that helped them stand out. The new bomb defusal and hostage rescue maps are nicely designed and feature a lot of tactically-heavy areas, despite their comparatively short s
Though Akimbo is readily available, the attachment has a set of unlock requirements that can vary between weapons. Here is a breakdown of all the weapons that support Akimbo in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone , along with how to unlock the attachment for each wea
Valve certainly has no shortage of gamers still coming back for Counter-Strike 1.6 and Counter-Strike: Source , which attracts both casual players and those who want to try and etch their name into the still-active professional gaming scene. Now, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive aims to bring a streamlined and graphically-enhanced edition of the game to players around the globe – but does this latest iteration also manage to stay true to the core successes of the sacred franch
The JAK Cataclysm Conversion Kit is a free reward available in Week 2 of Season 5 for Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone . To acquire it, players need to complete five of the seven Week 2 Challenges . These challenges can be completed across all modes in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone , including Zombies, allowing players to acquire the Aftermarket Part regardless of the mode they p
