  • Counter-Strike 2 Is Way Better Than Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 3

    The mordacious gunplay of Counter-Strike 2 feels remarkably gratifying in contrast to Call of Duty MW3 – not only due to players being furnished with an array of weapons with exclusive features, but also because each time you engage in combat, you’ve no idea how it’s going to turn out! Anyway, if we may offer one piece of advice: if you’re seeking a stimulating online shootout with high difficulty levels then look no further than Counter-Strike 2! Put aside all those ...

    Activision Pulls Modern Warfare 3 Maps Due to Horrible Spawns

    A number of multiplayer maps feature horribly bad player spawn locations.

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 just came out today and already Activision has had to step in to remove a number of maps from the multiplayer. These maps were pulled because some of the spawn points often led to situations where players would repeatedly respawn at the same location, leading to an easy spawn camping farm for other players.
