Counter-Strike 2 has released an update that makes one of the biggest changes in the game’s modern history: and no-one saw this one coming.

I imagine it took Bungie a lot of time and iteration before settling on Marathon’s competitive system.

You’ll be surprised by how hard Crimson Desert can be at times despite its flashy, incredibly over-the-top combat. Kliff and the other characters you’ll unlock are badasses, but bosses and large groups of lesser enemies will put you in your place. That’s where food and gear come in, and the Crimson Desert Twitch Drops give…
