The Overwatch System is a system that Valve introduced into CS:GO that, along with the anti-cheat, helps keep the gaming environment safe and free of players who cheat and hack and exploit the game in any other way. The Overwatch System basically consists of a council of some of the best Counter-Strike community members and […]

For the second time this week, CS2 has received an update to the maps, and while some may have hoped for Inferno to pop up out of the blue, we’re now seeing that all maps that have been part of the Limited Test are now available for play. We highlight the most important changes in […]

The latest CS2 update might have come as a bit of a shock to some people. Instead of adding two maps, Valve only added one map, and then that map wasn’t even the fan favorite Inferno map. CS2 Limited Test players are going to the same country though, as Italy has been added as the […]

As many have expected based on Valve’s recent CS2 update schedule, Ancient and Anubis have been removed from the CS2 Limited Test and made way for something new. While a lot of observers expected Inferno to be added, Limited Test players are only able to play one new map in this next phase of the […]

CS2’s latest update has added two new maps to the closed test, and players with beta access can now run around the beautiful Egyptian ruins of Anubis and explore every nook and cranny. We are aware of the fact that, sadly, closed test access is something that’s limited to a couple of lucky players (and […]

Valve really seems to be picking up the pace as far as updates to CS2’s Closed Beta go. Overpass and Vertigo were added just two weeks ago, and today they’ve already been replaced by Ancient and Anubis. If Valve keeps trucking along at this pace, the promised summer 2023 release of CS2 could definitely become […]

CS2’s latest update has added two new maps to the closed test, and players can now fully explore Ancient in CS2. Because we know that not everyone has access to CS2, we thought it would be a good idea to take some screenshots around the map so that those unfortunate gamers without beta access can […]

Last month, we started our updated Most Popular CS:GO skins list where we only include skins that are worth over 10 dollars. This gave us some interesting results (check out that article here) and a unique look at what the average player likes to use as a playskin, and this month we’re returning to see […]

The CS2 scoreboard provides a ton of information that allows players to measure the performance of the players on the server, and while stats don’t always tell the whole story (stats don’t show how often a player has thrown a round-winning smoke, for example) it can be incredibly handy to know what all these stats […]

Framerate is and has always been an extremely important factor when it comes to first-person shooters, especially if you are playing on a highly competitive level. CS2 is not an exception to this rule, and more often than not, a difference of just a few frames can often be the deciding factor between being eliminated […]

If you have played any iteration of Counter-Strike then you are aware of how competitive the game can be, and in order to climb higher on the competitive ladder, players are required to master all of the game’s aspects including weapon accuracy, movement, map layout, etc. It goes without saying that the more you practice, […]

The developer console has made its way into the next iteration of Counter-Strike, and if you truly want to master the power of this useful tool, it’s essential that you know the best CS2 console commands. Those who have been playing Counter-Strike for a while probably already know that the majority of gameplay changes are […]

We started our monthly most popular CS:GO skins list earlier this year, and initially we listed skins at all price points. What we found is that those were (perhaps foreseeably) almost all extremely cheap skins, so starting this month we’re only including skins that cost $10 or more. This makes the list a lot more […]

The latest update to CS2’s closed beta test has added Nuke as a new map, and that marks the first time that a map that isn’t a Touchstone map is playable in CS2. As a quick reference: CS2’s maps will all receive visual updates, but there are three tiers of updates. In a nutshell, Touchstone […]

Updates for CS2 (which is still in closed beta) are becoming more frequent as the official release window for the game (summer 2023) is now upon us. The latest big update adds a number of interesting new additions to the game, with the most eye-catching changes being that Mirage is now out of CS2’s beta […]
