What is Fornite:Battle Royale- Fortnite is not just any other Battle Royale games in the market. Just like PUBG,Fortnite was one of the first BR games to break into the gaming industry,and the EPIC Games produced Fortnite broke the market wide and large and became every other GAMERZ favorite quite very soon. Fortnite is a free to play Online Battle Royale game published by Epic Games Co.,Launched in 2017 after seeing the popularity of PUBG, it was mainly a spin-off for the Fortnite:Save the world Survival game. Fortnite had a very similar game plot , 100 players skydive from the PARTY BUS to an island where the players have to loot for weapons, consumables and other items. The main aim of the game is to be the last standing man or the last standing team. All of us who have played a couple of rounds in Fortnite:BR,have fallen in love with the game, it does not matter if you have been loyal with PUBG or any other BR game, you just can’t hate fortnite. So,let's dive into How Fortnite is one of the most addictive games in the industry right now. What makes Fortnite so addictive- Some health experts have genuinely said the Fortnite can get as addictive as some substantial drugs like Cocaine- We are not kidding guys, you can google it. There has been thousands of cases on the internet about Fortnite has became a very addictive thing in individual’s lives, and why is it so? Lose by a little-Win by more- ‘Do you remember the success of the “King” produced Candy Crush Saga,and how you could see people all around you so addicted to the game. You would be thinking what Candy Crush and Fortnite have in common. Did you notice how close you would get in winning and just a few steps would have won you the game in Candy Crush and how a few more bullets would have killed the enemy in fortnite. Getting it? Often after a gunfight where we die,we see how low was the enemy on health,and rage is on - “Mannnnnnn He was just one shot away”.This is what we mean by Lose by a little and Win by more. You often lose only by a few bullets or a small mishap, and you think that the next game you would have the chance to pay for those missed bullets,but when you win you think you’ve just out-killed all the other 99 players,which is WINNING BIG. This makes you get into the game again and again. This is the main reason why fortnite has been so addictive to all us GAMERZ. Not just shooting- Fortnite which enrolled more than 10 million players within the first few weeks of its release,isn’t just another loot,move and shoot game. It is much more than that.It comprises of collecting items to build, building walls and forts and using it to your advantage-to hide or to confuse your enemy. Exactly how Hide and Seek gave us the most of the fun in our childhood, Fortnite does the same Fortnite is simply not just a single dimensional game where only the Shrouds win the game with their accurate headshots. You have to plan and use teamwork to become the most dominant in the entire game. Unlike PUBG and the most Battle Royale games, Fortnite connects different aspects of your gaming skills to conclude in making you the winner. Freemium Model While most games on PC and consoles are paid these days, Fortnite has revolutionized gaming in many ways. GAMERZ like us who can not spend thousands on just buying the game,have been showered with the blessings from EPIC Games. The free game gives us a chance to buy other items in the game,like a Premium Pass for the season,other wearables which set us apart from other players in the game for a much cheaper cost than buying a single gaming title. One thing maybe that gaming company who tempted us in spending so much of our hard earned money- EA, should learn from these newly released gaming titles. Fortnite Vs PUBG Vs Other Battle Royales Graphics- The Graphical View of Fortnite,just like most things has its own Pros and Cons.The game delivers Cartoonish Graphics and Violence which means no graphic detailing ie. no show of blood or bullet shots which many parents would prefer over the realistic approach towards violence like in PUBG or any CoD game. Dynamics of the Game- Anyone who has spent some time on Fortnite and Battle Royale games,know how different dynamics and mechanics of the game is.Epic Games have focused on an Easier movement,minimum recoil and have considerably made shooting easier. All these factors influence in making the game more enjoyable for Casual players, which targets the main motive of the gaming- Enjoyment. Highly Optimized Game play- Epic Games have a huge arsenal of technicians and have a much much larger developer team if compared to Blue Hole Games,which is why Fortnite has been optimized to perfection making it playable on lower end gaming PCs unlike other top tier games like -PUBG or Rainbow Six Siege which deliver an unplayable low frame rates and rage causing lag. Casual Game play- Fortnite has always been a very casual game instead of making it a serious game. All the small points in the game make it more fun and relaxing than the other slow paced games. It is comparatively easier and more stress free to spot enemies in fortnite,not just enemies, it is also an easier task to find good loot in the game. The loot is often neon lighted in the game,and is quicker to find. Also,an average Fortnite Round lasts only 20 minutes,which makes it a quick ending game,eventually generating a more engaging routine for the GAMERZ. Who did not love Thor and Korg playing Fortnite and scolding NoobMaster69 OUR VERDICT- THERE IS NO VERDICT Even if compare Fornite:Battle Royale with the other Video Games in the market, it is extremely difficult to choose a winner. Fortnite on PC and consoles is by numbers more popular than PUBG if we take Player Count on the marks,but gets thrashed by PUBG mobile when it comes to Android and iOS platform.

Dust - The love of every gamer Counter Strike has been with us since we can remember. From the days of Counter Strike 1.6 to the days of CS:GO and so has DUST - The legendary map has always been on the top of the favorites list for all the CS players. All of us went to gaming cafes with our friends spending half a dozen hours straight,also how cheap was gaming back then, simply take your regular position in the cafe and also in the game and completely cut off the connection from the outside world.Winning back to back games,raiding different servers from all over. THE BEST FEELING EVER. What exactly is DUST - Dust is similar to any other map in CS in the terms of the scenario(Though it is one of the 3 oldest bomb defusal maps in the CS History which include Nuke and Prodigy) - bomb defusal scenario between CT(Counter Terrorists) and the Terrorists,where the bomb can be planted by the terrorists on any of the two bomb sites-A and B. The map is set in a kind of Middle-Eastern Town where terrorists and the CT spawn at two areas which are apart from each other. The main motive of the game is- For Terrorists- To deploy and blast the C4 bomb near Chemical Stashes (Did you know the boxes at both sides are Chemical Boxes,No right?) and for the Counter Terrorists- To prevent the terrorists from blasting the bomb,if the bomb is planted, the CT need to defuse the bomb in order to win the round. Let’s get into how one map has matriculated all the tests of time and the history and other things to know about the legendary map-DUST The History- The map designer for the Dust Maps- David Johnston was just a teenager at the time, he loved designing mod games for different games,and hence also loved designing different maps. David,first got inspiration for the Desert Town inspired map,when he got a look at some leaked pictures for a map in the then cancelled game-” Team Fortress 2- Brotherhood at Arms” . The map was professionally textured later,with removal of unnecessary elements in the map, which eventually lead to the release of the map DUST known as “de_dust”. Where “de” stands for Defuse .With the launch,Dust became an overnight favorite of all the GAMERZ around the world. This made David and his team extremely happy. The beginning of Dust 2- David and his team kept a very straight forward thought process while building the sequel for the massively popular map,to stick to the original theme of the DUST map. They wanted to recreate the magic of Dust but not make it exactly like the dust,which is a hard thing to do. Apart from the changes made to the actual map from the older Dust, the texture was made a little more realistic and minor changes to the position of sun and introduction of other physical objects in the later parts of the updates. Though minor updates still keep rolling to this map, it never actually received a layout changes in it. While Dust 2 was actually named as it is now,earlier David Johnston had given it the name of Dust 3,but later released as Dust 2 in the year 2001 with the game CS 1.1 and just like its predecessor, Dust 2 gained immense love,with servers working at their max loads at all times,the developers soon understood the map’s actual potential. AWPING- Who doesn’t like to registering a perfect kill by marking a headshot. Be it from the “MID DOORS” where,according to us the terrorist side has better leverage over the CT side, but the case changes when the CTs have an AWP at the “A Long”,also the CTs have a stronger position at the bomb site A, when a CT is placed just behind the CAR, it is almost impossible to see them before it gets too late and you are dead. With the time,AWPing has also improved drastically, players have started finding new angles throughout the map and also multiple strange tricks to get the best of AWP. Popular Terms Used in Dust 2- There is a reason why everyone who plays DUST 2 feels like they own the game and that they are a pro at the game ( Even though you are not,LOL). The feel of shouting LT,UT,A Long does the all. Just because the game is hugely popular,most of the players understand what they are talking about,and if you don’t we are here to tell you- LT- Lower Tunnel UT - Upper Tunnel T Spawn- Terrorist Spawn Area CT- CT Spawn Area A Long- The longer corridor which connects the Long doors and the Bombsite A Window- The Window just above the bombsite B which looks over the CT Mid. AFK- Away from Keyboard ( Mostly used when a player goes offline while in the match) Camping- Staying at a single position waiting for an enemy. One Tap- Killing with just one shot Gay Gunner- A player who is using Scar-20 or any other automatic snipers (DMRs) Eco Round- Pistol only round,in order to save money Hand Cannon- Deagle Pistol ( Known for its amazing damage) IGL- In_Game_Leader,the one who leads a team and guides. Molly- Molitov Wallbanger- The one shoots through penetrable objects in the game. The most important-GG- Good Game Weird Facts about the game- Crouching Does not make more damage- It is often said the crouching will give your enemy more damage, a complete myth, crouching simply helps by making it easier to aim directly upon the torso of the enemy. No Skins and No Competitive Matchmaking- Until late, CS did not offer any gun/knife skins to its players and also no competitive matchmaking. Locate the bomb in the smoke- If you keep your tutorials on, you can locate the bomb even in a smoke. Tame your chicken- Simply press E near a chicken and chicken will keep following you in the entire game. In the first few trials of the map,the underpass led to a different arena, but was later before the release removed as the developers found it confusing. This was our tribute to one of the legendary maps in the entire history of not only Counter Strike but the entire FPS Gaming. Dust has been with our Thick and thin,always there when we wanted to try some extreme rush game plays or camping with an AWP.
