The AWP's little cousin, the SSG 08, or Scout rifle, is an excellent choice when doing a half buy or an eco round where you can't afford an AWP. The Scout is extremely affordable and effective for its price point. It will one-shot anyone to the head and will do massive damage to the body, leveling the playing field for your teammates with bad guns. Capable of locking down long corridors or holding angles like the AWP, the Scout trades pure killing power for a more attractive price point and mobil

Maps in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive are mostly new, but some of the classics from Counter-Strike and Counter-Strike: Source have been remade for CS: GO . If you're like many CS: GO players, you've played the game for over 100 hours. This is ranking the 10 best Counter-Strike: Global Offensive m

In Counter-Strike, players receive money each round — depending on numerous factors — that they can spend on weapons, armor, and utility items such as grenades. Not all weapons were created equally and a gun's effectiveness does not correlate to its price point, tho

The design bears similarities to a Middle Eastern town, but the items and architecture make it more likely that the town is Moroccan. Planters spawn close to A site, but the defenders pawn even closer. You could choose to go to B, but chances are that you'll encounter more trouble along the way.

The perfect mix between rifle and SMG, the UMP is a great jack of all trades. The UMP is the gun to buy when you can't afford a full rifle, but you need to fight against them. While other SMGs like the MP9 fall off at longer ranges, the UMP gives the user a fighting chance while still possessing SMG killing power in close range. The UMP is also very user-friendly. It has a manageable recoil pattern that is not punishing to mess up. The UMP has been featured in many of the best FPS games of all time and it has been a great weapon in nearly all of them.
