Normally, a regular round of Counter-Strike would last 1 minute and 55 seconds. This has always been the setting for the longest time. However, players may want to increase the round timer and make it infinite, for numerous purposes such as playing mini games or practicing on private servers. In this article, we will discuss what the unlimited time CS:GO command is, why it is helpful, and how to use...

The Counter-Strike franchise has always been about a player’s individual mechanics with their weapons of choice. Most of the time, these weapons come without the option to look down the iron sights or a scope unlike other major titles such as VALORANT and Call of Duty. While the AK-47 and M4s will most likely never adopt the option to aim down sights, some weapons such as sniper rifles and a...

For any video game to be created, there must be a platform to base the entire thing around. Like a motor vehicle or a steam locomotive way back from the industrial age, the focal point of the whole thing is what is called the game engine. This is arguably the most crucial point of any video game’s development process as the end product will be shaped completely around the capabilities...

Have you seen players in your Counter-Strike games with moving profile pictures in the form of GIFs? If you’ve ever wondered how they animated their CSGO PFP, you’ll learn everything about it here. How To Get Animated PFP In CS2? On Steam, you cannot upload a GIF as a profile picture; it has to be in PNG or JPG file format. The only way to get an animated CSGO PFP...

The global ecosystem of Counter-Strike skins can really stand on its own, completely separated from the main game. As a matter of fact, it can be said that there are a decent number of CS users that never even touch the matchmaking menu of the game and merely use it as a platform to trade skins and make money in the real world. The Arms Deal update brought the concept...

Nothing screams Counter-Strike quite like a CS Major Championship. There are usually two in a calendar year and it comes as no surprise to anyone when it becomes the most hyped event not just in the CS community, but in the esports ecosystem as a whole. Take, for example, the PGL Major Stockholm in 2021. It was the first Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Major to be held since the COVID-19 pandemic...

The Kilowatt Collection is the newest Counter-Strike weapon case released in the game, and is also the first case introduced since the launch of Counter-Strike: 2. As a result, the Kilowatt Case has the “CS2” writing etched to the design.  The Kilowatt Case appears bigger in size compared to other weapon cases. On top of a handful of new weapon skins, the new case also features a brand new CS2...

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive did not only introduce the concept of custom weapon finishes, but also extra pins and tokens you can equip on your in-game profile for everyone to see. These can vary from pins based on the design of a map logo, trophies or coins that showcase one’s successful predictions at a CS:GO Major Championship, and the ever-iconic Service Medal. New players may often check out an opponent or...

Throughout its years of being in the mainstream, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive became one of the most respected and influential esports titles in the whole world. The game’s mechanics, particularly its focus on strategic weapon purchases, economy management, and round-based gameplay, laid the groundwork for tactical shooters across various genres. So just exactly when was CS:GO released? Let’s take a look at one of the longest-standing installments of a franchise that...

Counter-Strike is such a dynamic and challenging game that barely anything is ever consistent. No two rounds play out exactly the same way, especially with factors such as spawn locations, team economy, and basic human error getting in the way of what could have been a flawlessly executed plan on paper. The weapons each player brings to the battlefield usually dictate how the round goes especially when the resources on...
