Counter-Strike Surfing
''Counter-Strike'' surfing is a modded game mode based on the ''Counter-Strike'' series of first-person shooter video games. Consisting of custom-created obstacle course levels known as surf maps, players make use of a physics engine glitch to float along inclined planes while propelling themselves forward at high speeds in a manner resembling surfing. Accidentally invented by Charles "Mariowned" Joyce in the original ''Counter-Strike'', surf maps gained significant popularity and continued to appear as fan-made levels in every game since. The game mode has been praised by both fans and critics for its casual and relaxing nature compared to typical ''Counter-Strike'' gameplay. History Sliding game modes date back to ''Quake II'', but did not gain significant popularity. The first ''Counter-Strike'' surf map was created in 2004 after Joyce, who had created a custom map called "Killbox" (ka_killbox), began to slide off the roof of a house and was able to jump to safety.

Overwatch

Boardwalk
A boardwalk (alternatively board walk, boarded path, or promenade) is an elevated footpath, walkway, or causeway typically built with wooden planks, which functions as a type of low water bridge or small viaduct that enables pedestrians to better cross wet, muddy or marshy lands. Such timber trackways have existed since at least Neolithic times. In many seaside resort locations, boardwalks along the beach provide access to shops, hotels, and tourist attractions. The Jersey Shore in the United States is especially noted for its abundance of boardwalks. Some wooden boardwalks have had sections replaced by concrete and even "a type of recycled plastic that looks like wood." History An early example is the Sweet Track that Neolithic people built in the Somerset levels, England, around 6000 years ago. This track consisted mainly of planks of oak laid end-to-end, supported by crossed pegs of ash, oak, and lime, driven into the underlying peat. The Wittmoor bog tra ...

Bunny Hopping
Strafing in video games is a maneuver which involves moving a controlled character or entity sideways relative to the direction it is facing. This may be done for a variety of reasons, depending on the type of game; for example, in a first-person shooter, strafing would allow one to continue tracking and firing at an opponent while moving in another direction. Etymology Strafing is the military practice of attacking ground targets from low-flying aircraft using aircraft-mounted automatic weapons. Techniques Circle strafing ''Circle strafing'' is the technique of moving around an opponent in a circle while facing them. Circle strafing allows a player to fire continuously at an opponent while evading their attacks. Circle strafing is most useful in close-quarters combat where the apparent motion of the circle strafing player is much greater than that of their stationary enemy, and thus the chance of making the enemy lose track of their target is higher and/or the enemy is req ...
