CS!?!??!!! Can I convert you to Quake 3? PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEE???????????????
BTW tThe reason you always get fragged in CS is because of cheating asswipes who like ruining games. Counter-Hack's Half-Life and Mods page can tell you what cheats they use (bonus: includes screenshots!) Quake 3 has a sub-program called Punkbuster to detect and prevent these bastards from ruining your gaming. Lata and Happy Fragging!

Strangely despite having several thousand dollars worth of computer games and friends with similar collections, I've never played or even seen Counter Strike played.

GHOST RECON AND ROUGE SPEAR FOREVER!

The only games I've ever played over the net are UT and Q3. Q3 was damn good but UT was bloody terrible, very laggy.

I play CS, but I SUCK at it :mrgreen:

Quake 3, on the other hand, I'm pretty good in.

CS is good on a few servers (most of them closed password servers) and at LAN Parties. When you play open internet CS games, be ware, it will suck royally.

CS is cool. I like the more realistic weapons.

Quake 3 is cool also, but it can move a bit fast and gets annoying to the eyes.

LAN parties playing CS is nice, especially because there is no lag, and no cheaters.

CS? Realistic? To be able to take an MP-3 burst in the torso and still be able to run around? To have a grenade blow up in front of you and still have 60% life left? Take a look at Rogue Spear for realism.

I got into CS way back when it was still in the beta 3.0 stages (mid '99, iirc). I really like it, and I was farly good at it, but I would only bother playing it at LAN parties. It's a really wel-designed game, but like alot of online games, the problem is people. :wink: Alot of the good servers insist on players using Punk-Buster, and don't tend to get cheaters anyway.

I own Q3, but I can't say I like it all that much. It's too basic in gameplay (can someone pleeeease tell John Romero his weapon designs have always been dull?) and mediocre (especially the Team Arena expansion crap. I only installed that so I didn't have to use a CD to play regular), especially when compared to Unreal Tournament's loveliness. I sometimes just play it single-player on Facing Worlds for some quick fun.

One of the best CS games I ever played was the first time I'd seen voice-communications set up and working. The team had one guy as the self-appointed Head Terrorist, and it rocked.

"Hang back from the edge, there's a sniper. Anybody got any grenades?"
"Aw, shit."
"See what happens when we split up? This time, we stay together as a unit. Okay, on my count three, two, one - GO."

So we did. And it was genuinely filmic.
It felt weird typing in "main bomb site is clear" and actually having somebody's voice from another continent respond, "OK, I'm inbound. Cover me."

Probably another 2 years.

Valve ought to say screw it and hand it over to Gearbox (who seem to be able to get things done quickly).

Don't forget Duke Nukem Forever (at least not for a third time. How many engines have they gone through sinse the first pics came out?)

Oh, and very few people would play CS if it were like Rainbow 6 or Rogue Spear. Alot of FPS gamers think it's too real as it is, imagine how well we'd play if there were one hit kills? (Answer: one game with 10vs10 would have 18 cannon fodder players, and one very l33t Veteran with 90% of the kills on each team. Oh, wait, it already ends up like that half the time.)

Thats how most Rogue Spear or Rainbow Six games were like when I played, that is in coop games. I had the vast majority of the kills while everyone else mopped up.

Headshots with most weapons are still instat-kills

CS draws the fine line between Realisim and fun

Fools! Speak not of this evil, this "Counter-Strike"! Woe upon ye who utters this vile curse! Confess your sins, and I would welcome you to the light of Day of Defeat! Because here, in this holy mod (downloadable at http://www.dayofdefeatmod.com), a single shot will usually kill thy enemy! Sniping is difficult and cannot be whored, and you must work as a team to complete thy objectives! Renounce thy false faith![/img][/url]
