10 Features Of Valorant That Set It Apart From Counter-Strike

8. There Are Less Guns

There are also less guns in the game than in Counter-Strike. Valorant boasts an arsenal of 17 guns as compared to Counter-Strike's 29. While this further emphasizes my earlier point of new players being spared the pain of learning a gazillion guns, it also shows an effort on the part of the developers to only include guns that are actually viable.

For the longest time in Counter-Strike, a large portion of the guns were completely useless and therefore unused. The developers at Riot Games have clearly tried to avoid this problem and buying a shotgun or heavy machine gun in Valorant will not cause your team to crucify you.

Ever since I saw BJ grin as he picked up the chain gun in Wolfenstein 3D, I've been hooked on video games. My first love, however, was Counter-Strike 1.3 and I would beg my mom to take me to Internet cafés just so I could play it. The other two games that captured my heart were World of Warcraft and Quake, though I play all sorts of games (especially of the competitive multiplayer type). Oh, and I love dwarves and write fantasy stories about them in my free time.
