Counter-Strike Online, Get Your Balrog-3 Now

Counter-Strike Online or simply CSO is the online version of the very popular first-person-shooter, Counter-Strike. This version is different from Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. The graphics of CSO is nowhere near the graphics of CS:GO.

I've only played Counter-Strike Online a few times. In fact, I only installed it out of curiosity.

Anyway, I know many of you are Counter-Strike Online players and many of you will be happy to know about this new weapon. I'm talking about the Balrog-3 or Balrog-III.

Balrog-3 is a new sub-machine gun chambered with 30-rounds of 9mm AHE bullets. It was developed by the Aegis Institute and it's also equipped with what is called the Balrog Charging System that activates every 15 consecutive rounds of fire.

Balrog-3 does not only use explosive ammo, it also uses reserve ammo instead of its primary ammo and that increases its rate-of-fire.

Here are the PROs and CONs of the Balrog-3.

PROs

• High accuracy
• Low recoil
• Fast reload time
• Very high rate of fire
• Very cheap ammunition cost
• No speed reduction
• Usable scope

CONs

• Extremely inaccurate when using BCS
• Expensive price
• Low reserved ammunition in normal matches
• Sold in limited time only
• Runs dry easily

MMO FPS Planetside 2 Blasts Its Way Through Fans

After playing an hour full of intense shooting, camping, and flying slow futuristic aircrafts (can’t they make fast aircrafts in the distant future?), this is my impression of the newest MMOFPS Planetside 2. For starters, Planetside 2 is like the original Planetside combined Halo sans the ringworld and the grumpy gun-toting aliens. It also incorporates Black Ops 2’s fast-paced action and Battlefield 3 with its maps and character classes, all topped with the intensity and immensity of Nuclear Dawn. Simply put, the game is as exciting as it looks: Master Chief wannabes fighting at large, verdant terrains while planes and tanks storm them for a quick and easy kill.

(Planetside 2)

Despite my reference to other games because as no FPS is original anymore since Counter Strike’s release, Planetside is probably one reason why you should go back to FPS. Created by Sony Entertainment Online, we think this is one of Sony’s attempts to buy back in the bloated genre of first-person shooters, except that it looks promising. Gameplay-wise, it will make you fight against literally scores of players on ridiculously huge maps, and mostly your games are just skirmishes of a bigger war to take over the fictional planet of Auraxis.

Like Planetside 2, online casinos provide both escapist entertainment and therapeutic catharsis at the stroke of a button. Whenever we feel angry or hungry for something (definitely not food), we just boot our computers, load our favorite games, and get consumed by the digital world. However, unlike online casino, the only things we get out of playing video games after several hours are massive headaches, insomnia, and the cringe after seeing our electric bills. Online poker, on the other hand, gives you the chance to have fun and at the same time, hit jackpots, sweep tables, and get the lucky 777. Thanks to online casino sites like partycasino.com, playing casino has never been convenient. Aside from the usual casino games such as video poker, slots, baccarat, and roulettes, there are also fun-filled arcade games with rewarding prizes such as the famous Bejeweled. Also, for the geeky players out there, partycasino.com has their Marvel-themed slots. It’s like a casino, but in the comfort of your homes.

Going back to Planetside 2, it uses Sony’s Forgelight engine, which is also used in EverQuest Next. Finally, Sony has kept up with the conventions of most first-person games when it comes to graphics, such as real-time radiosity, realistic physics, motion blurring, eye adaptation, and high-dynamic ranging. Aside from the improved physics of the game, the environment also took a serious leap from bland to fresh and exciting. After playing, you probably wouldn’t step on the vegetation due to its realistic rendering. However, the best part of Planetside 2 is that there is a class that has a JETPACK, which you can use to fly short distances. Although we have criticisms of the game too, it will be best to leave it to you and see if Planetside 2 will be one of the best online FPS games for years to come.
