How Valve’s CS:GO Trust Factor Matchmaking System Works, According To Patent

The Glock-18 is easily one of the most versatile weapons in CS:GO. The semi-automatic firing mode makes it feel like a run-of-the-mill pistol that serves the user well in medium to long-range shooto

The newest addition to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive' s lineup of maps is the level "Zoo." Also added to the list of maps playable in competitive mode is a map called "Workout." The level Zoo is located in San Fransisco Bay. While walking through the map of Zoo, you may hear a lot of animal noises such as monkeys and birds. Unfortunately, you won't see those animals since its only fish that can be found in Zoo. The concept of Zoo works well, but the map may need some adjustments before it can be considered a top CS: GO


The Ts have it and the CTs want it — the AK-47 is undoubtedly the best weapon in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive . A well-placed headshot will drop opponents, even if they are wearing armor. It has a large mag and a good rate of fire, which helps the Ts push into the CTs without getting destroyed. A skilled AK user can even duel a player using an AWP due to peeker advantage if they are quick enough. The AK is the one advantage the Ts get over the CTs and it is colos


Dragons benefit from their intelligence and courage. These are two vital characteristics in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Knowing which weapons to use on maps in different circumstances is essential. You must also possess tenacity if you wish to win matches. In this sense, those with the dragon Chinese zodiac fit in this game. You are willing to take risks to achieve objectives. Your game is Counter-strike Classic offensive: Global Offens


The Chinese zodiac animal horse is known for being animated and full of energy. You'll see horses in large gatherings, where they are usually the center of attention. This fits with Call of Duty: Warzone , a game that supports up to 150 players in a single ma


The patent elaborates on this point further, "This is because the techniques and systems described herein are able to match together players who are likely to behave badly (e.g., cheat), and to isolate those players from other trusted players who are likely to play the video game legitimately…[and] may be configured to identify any type of behavior (good or ba


If there's one thing that could make hearing slurs barked into your ear a little easier to swallow, it's cute anime girls. Picture, then, a challenger to CS:GO and Siege 's throne. A bouncier, brighter, and more inviting challenger - but with all the brown and bloom you've come to know and l


The first two points quite literally seem to indicate that more money spent in game on cosmetics translating to being more trustworthy. Perhaps there is some truth to this, as spending real money in a game may dissuade a user from cheating and risking the lose of an account, but it still seems odd without confirmation of that i

Players have to pick and choose which gun they can buy based on how much money is available to them for that round. With so many different options, it is sometimes difficult to know what to buy and when. Here are the best guns in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive __ in order and why you should be using t


As one of the oldest and most storied maps in competitive Counter-Strike history, Jo Bieg's creation in BETA 4.0 of the original Counter-Strike mod has seen iterations and remakes across every single game. Needless to say, Nuke is iconic and up there with the likes of Inferno and Dust II. Due to its reputation, it was the second map to receive a significant revision to not only update the aesthetic but also resolve issues that have persisted for ye


In this game, players will only be able to select one class - "Unclothed." This will basically be the Deprived class from Dark Souls , just with more sex appeal - if such a thing is even possible! Throughout the game, players will scavenge for new clothing as a member of Hanzo Academy, in a brutal quest to put on something both comfy and not in violation of every dress code known to man. But standing in the way are the girls of the Hebijo Clandestine Girls' Academy, ready to end your whole career with one swing of a sword. And be warned - your hard-earned clothing is completely breakable. Once it busts, you'll have to talk to some weirdo with a hammer if you want to stitch it back together again. Or buy a sewing


Geographic location on the other hand is a strange one. Perhaps a player needs to move often, and that is outside of their control. Perhaps players need to use VPNs for undisclosed reasons, and that too may be out of their hands. Whatever the case, it would be fascinating to know more about how Valve uses this d
