The Best On-Rails Levels In Video Games

As players will be mostly dealing with Mercenaries for this contract, it is highly recommended to have weapons that are effective at all ranges. Players will encounter recon mercenaries, snipers, and shocktroopers , so players will need to be able to quickly change their effective combat range. Versatile assault rifles like the M13B and the M4 and steadier SMGs like the Striker 9 excel in this regard, especially when players take advantage of Modern Warfare 3's tactical stance feature . Auto-shotguns can be helpful for dealing with the recon mercenaries who charge in close in an attempt to stab players - the Riveter , with attachments that improve range and accuracy, can be an effective all around tool as well. Pack-a-Punch is an absolute must if attempting this contract in a higher threat tier - while most mercenaries can be quickly dispatched with headshots, the heavier armored soldiers can be nearly invulnerable to weapons of low rarity and without Pack-A-Punch. Effectively dropping enemies in a timely manner is critical to successfully completing the Aether Extractors contr


Note: Sniper Rifles are not included in this change.

The Battlefield franchise may not be as well known for its single-player campaign as its destructive multiplayer, but many of the games in the long-running series have featured strong, linear campaigns with dramatic story missi


Speaking of weapons, Global Offensive brings a recognizable palette for veterans - with some very minor changes to the line-up (the TMP is now an MP9, the M4 can't have a suppressor, etc). Molotovs and decoy grenades offer more tactics to throwable weaponry - with the ability to block paths with flames that make new strategies viable. The majority of the weapons remain unmodified, allowing for returning players to jump in the game and find their usual rhythm. The addition of custom voices to go along with the usual commands adds a nice touch of personality to each team, who have brand new skins to match the graphics of the game (sadly, the Leet Krew skin is completely absent from Global Offensiv


Duke Nukem Forever has been criticized considerably ever since its notorious development cycle and after its eventual release date. The writing, visuals, puzzles, and jokes did not sit well with many. One level was considered to be particularly heinous, that being ‘The Hive’. Within the alien-made lair, the invaders have abducted and impregnated numerous captive women, including Duke’s latest girlfriends, the Holsom Twins. His response? Make a tasteless joke about the sc


The undead in particular deal serious melee damage, and walking across certain spots will cause them to teleport in. Worse still are the zombies armed with shotguns, as they fire them rapidly with no need to reload. While they can have their guns knocked out of their hands by being shot, shooting their heads is the only way to kill them. All of this made the 'Mansion' level almost unbearable. For countless players, the amount of cheap jump-scares and sudden ambushes made this level both frightening and frustrating. Playing it on Hard mode is a considerable feat, due to countless zombies abruptly teleporting in with shotguns in-h


Any offensive armaments like the Mortar Strike can be excellent at quickly removing the Terminus forces around an extractor, just be careful not to get caught in the effect area. Throwable tactical and lethal equipment are also effective in this regard - when choosing between Epic tactical gear options, the Cymbal Monkeys or the Kazimir Device , the latter will pull the mercenaries into the blackhole effect , similar to zombies, making it more effective when dispatching a large group of Terminus goons . While the Cymbal Monkey does have an effective blast radius, the Mercenaries do not fall prey to the upbeat tune and will not gather around the explosion the way zombies would. Claymores and proximity mines can be useful at deterring recon assailants , but be cautious of proximity mine placement not to accidentally catch yourself in the blast if triggered by a mercenary. Thermite is also highly effective against groups and heavily armored troops like the shocktroop


While the launch version of the FPS game patch notes contained more than a few bugs , Valve was able to quickly deliver patches to bring what is now a very smooth experience to both PC and console gamers. Global Offensive offers an updated graphics engine to the Counter-Strike series, attempting to attract a new generation of gamers with a more accessible title for both console and computers - and the fact that it was designed for both during production has its own pros and c


An infamous level from the otherwise-acclaimed Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 , ‘No Russian’ takes a drastic turn from fighting terrorists to strolling through an airport while undercover and mowing down civilians alongside said terrorists. What the game does not mention is that shooting innocents is entirely optional, while battling the armed police force is mandatory to progress and complete the le
