A new article takes a trip down memory lane to revisit some of the finest frag arenas ever constructed.
Valve has finally introduced the much-needed 64-bit support in an unexpected Team Fortress 2 update after 17 years since its release.
64 bit support is not the same as a next gen upgrade. 64 bit has been used for like 12-15 years now?
MW 2019 is five years old at this point and on previous gen hardware, but it is still the best looking Call of Duty game to date.
MW was an excellent videogame. They messed up Spec Ops big time, but aside from this it was a huge step in the right direction initially. Most notably, at launch it seemed to come from a very cohesive creative vision that was felt across gameplay, to story to art style/visual direction. It was also very notably written by prominent ex-Naughty Dog guys that quit almost immediately before release.
That COMPLETELY dissolved through post-launch content and the full pivot to a "cross-mode" narrative that completely obliterated the cohesion in overall story direction. Warzone then "became" the new face of Call of Duty and the franchise completely removed itself from anything remotely creatively "good". It is a pure money machine, so I kinda get why they're doing it....but I personally completely lost interest.
I would love to see Infinity Ward move off CoD and get to make their own product with full control. They clearly have some massive talent in their ranks but it's perverted by Activision's corporate interests.
Remember the days of four-player couch co-op? The Wealth of Geeks team certainly does. This list brings us back to the golden years of the original Xbox with the best four-player games that were available.
I'd be inclined to pick some of...
Facilities(bond)
Persideo(r6)
Airport(r6)
Streets(vegas)
Bloodgulch(...)
DE_DUST
Omaha Beach (1942)
Lockout(H2)
You can fill this entire list with only Counter-Strike maps, and it would be justified.
De dust
De dust2
De mirage
Cs italy
Cs militia
Aim ak colt
De aztec
basically all the cs maps. Its easily the best fps ever made in terms of raw skill, longevity and its competitive scene.
This is more like Top 10 games' single top multiplayer map.
