We all know the approaching of Christmas means the goose is getting fats, however what in regards to the hen? She’s heat and cosy, as Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has kicked off its festivities by giving chickens wee Christmas jumpers. These jumpers are #2 on the definitive ranking of CS:GO chicken costumes in order that’s definitely one thing to have a good time. Other Christmas festivities embody piles of snowballs in spawn factors to lob at of us, the return of Militia’s snowy variant, giftwrapped C4, and a brand new coin trinket for veterans who’ve been Counter-Striking for ten years. But principally it’s in regards to the chickens.
“Christmas jumpers can, like hats, be seen as an easy effort,” I stated when rating the costumes with expensive Pip. “But aren’t they delightful? Those chickens look a lot more fun than the ones with hats. They think they’re people!”
They actually do. My day is brightened seeing chickens in jumpers strutting and pecking round.
The snowy Militia is a pleasant festive variant too, with strings of lights hanging round (and thru the tunnel), a good looking vibrant sundown (or daybreak?) coming by means of the bushes, and good crunchy snow. The compound remains to be a gap and the terrorists are nonetheless holding hostages however, y’know, it’s a bit merrier.
I just like the items within the stockings over the hearth: scorching weapons skins; grenades; and coal.
The C4 is cute and all.
As for the brand new coin, gamers who’ve owned a CS game for no less than ten years on their present Steam account and performed it no less than as soon as will get a Ten Year Veteran Coin after they subsequent fireplace up CS:GO. It’s a beauty trinket to your profile, exhibiting off that you simply’re 1337 and 0ld sk3wl and all that.
See the patch notes for extra particulars.
CS:GO went free-to-play earlier this month, including a battle royale mode too. But, once more, what’s essential right here is jumpers for chickens.
