Half-Life fans are a dedicated bunch. Even in the absence of content from Valve , the series has thrived with mods, community content, and unofficial games such as Lambda Wars and Black Mesa. Half-Life: Alyx didn’t fully reignite the torch, but it helped to keep the flame fans have managed to carry all these years flickering. There were community forums of like-minded individuals sharing each other’s work, news websites specifically catering to Valve fans after Episode 3 faded into obscurity, and then there was LambdaGeneration.
Portal can be used for either peripheral. Since Portal is a first-person game, the intuitive decision would be a keyboard and mouse. However, since the game doesn't place players under a time limit and lets them complete it at a relaxing pace, a controller isn't a bad option eit
Alex's point is an important one. I occasionally jump to Reddit to find out what's going on with the community, perhaps to discuss some wild theories about the G-Man after a long day of bunny-hopping through the waterways of Half-Life 2, but the subs are drowned in memes. So, I go to Twitter, where it's near-impossible to find any structured form of discussion. The only spot to find community content in a neat package was LambdaGeneration, but even then it was curated by fans - what was being lost in that process? LambdaGeneration’s new social media platform addresses all of these issues.
LambdaGeneration has now come full circle, returning to its website roots but with all the modern bells and whistles. “The concept for the new community platform is the same as the original website - it’s a place to share and discover Half-Life and Valve community content,” Alex says. “I’m not a writer or journalist, the original website ran on WordPress. But I was always open to other mediums, so - in my head - turning it into a social platform felt like a natural progression.
While its damage and accuracy aren't bad, the CZ75 fails as an automatic. The bullet count doesn't support the fire rate, therefore it can prove to be useless as an automatic weapon, leaving fans disappointed in the final prod
Until it’s a rush round or an economy round, it’s never a bright idea to carry the spike while leading the team from the front. If you die, the bomb basically is now in CT’s territory, and reclaiming it can be a has
Flashbang is one of the utilities available in the game. When used, it instantly blinds anyone that is looking at it directly for a brief moment. Although it’s a very good tool and can be super effective when used properly, many players blind their teammates, including themselves, instead of blinding the opposing play
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
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 2 Tournaments maps for his friends to play
Due to this simple mechanic, Surf Maps often feature various ramps of increasing difficulty. And if players get bored enough, some Surf Maps feature combat elements that try to incorporate the map’s rather chaotic environm
However, there are times when the added benefit of a mouse and keyboard is simply unmatched, no matter how relaxing it might be to use a controller instead. Here are some great examples of PC games that simply work way better with a mouse and keybo
At its core, Surf Maps cater to a dedicated “mode” where players don’t shoot each other but instead “surf” around the map at ridiculous speeds. As a result, Surf Maps end up becoming a challenge of navigation and speed - something that proves more difficult than it seems. How exactly could players participate in Surf Maps, tho
Although the idea of buying the most expensive weapon every round can be tempting, it’s certainly not the right approach. It’s important to manage the economy so that you are never low on the bud
Players who want to train their Surfing techniques might want to try joining an offline surf map instead. However, players may need to do some manual adjustments to the game’s physics settings in order to meet optimal surfing quality. In order to access offline maps, players need to do the follow
The key is to communicate beforehand and alerting your teammates that you are going to flash. Flashing recklessly can be super dangerous, and more often than not, it will lead to you getting killed immediat
