It'd be great to play on a compsci server, but I'm 100% anti-counterstrike. I don't care that it's an old game, I play a lot of those, but I can't see how a game with such bad gameplay could become so popular. Switch to some better game, and I'll be glad to join  .
*edit* I think the same of Halo btw  |

Not quite, there are much better games when you just want "some simple ass kicking". Basically anything else (other than Halo) is better for such. I find snake more fun than counterstrike. |

Is one of the reasons you suck at CS? 'cause i don't see how you can't like it if you kick ass at it. I mean just the feeling of owning others... On the other hand I found halo extremely boring... just me though. The most I enjoyed from halo is checking out what I can do with physics + warthogs, and the different ways I can kill myself. |

Yep, I hate Halo and CS. The reason is not that I suck, if I wanted to I could probably play that game good, but I never really tried. I haven't played the game much because I don't want to, I couldn't stand it. Do I want to play a game full of hackers? Do I want to play a game that gives no sense of accomplishment? Do I want to play a game where the average maturity level of a person is 6 years old? etc, etc. Have you played many other fps games? You get a much better game and feeling of owning others from things other than counterstrike. I understand liking it because you have played it for a long time and are good at it, but you will get much better experiences if you stay away from that game  . |

FPS's in general don't give me a sense of accomplishment, they're fun to play with a bunch of people you know. Like I've almost always played on a clan server, with mature people who are friendly. If I wanted to own people and then feel accomplished afterwards I'd go for SC or WC3 or something. If I wanted to own people in general without alot of skills, I'd go for a MMO lol. |

Playing on servers you are familiar with is always more fun, but personally I do see skill being assosiated with FPS's and strategy games like Starcraft. I must agree about MMO's though. Specially made for people who felt like 'owning' others simply because they were bored more often than them... Still, I'd go for a better alternative than CS. Dang, the guns always face/aim down! Are they shooting at the floor? |

Face down... what? I'm confused. Are you sure you're not holding your gun the wrong way? 
What do you prefer? Halflife? or Doom? I do not subscribe to those games simply because i get nauseous easily from them. Even more so from teh so called "third person shooters" like max payne, ugh, i can't stand max payne. |

Halo? Ugh. Counterstrike? Blah. Half-Life? Eegh... They're all basically in the same category - but luckily that's just about where it ends. Doom... Well, that was an alright game, but generally I don't like monsters and dark alleys, etc. If you want to see what I prefer, click my sig . That's from the past few months...
As for third-person-shooters, only one I liked was Metal Gear Solid, but that's for console. *edit* Oh, well, from what I remember what I mean by facing down is that whenever you see someone else, they are slanted down, even if they are normally playing. Just one of my many bashes again CS though  . |

I take my hat off to you, sir. No wait... I wasn't wearing a hat... Anywho, just thought you'd like to know that MGS has been available on the PC for some time now. It'd probably be a better experience on the console, but nobody has come up to me with a free PlayStation yet. |

| Yes, I'm quite aware that MGS is available for PC, but like you said, this is one of those games where the experience is better on the console version. Yep, t'was one of the great games... Can't wait till I get a PS3. |

Civ 4's great too heh. Only problem is, I can only play it on my Athlon64 since it runs slow on my 2.24ghz, 768mb ram, gforce 6800 computer  . That game really needs some optimization soon - it should really need half that.
Ahh... all these things greater than CS... Would it be possible to set up another 'unofficial' compsci server for some other game? Can't say I've played Rome Total War, but I've looked at it and contemplated trying it... |

Abhuh? And here I was looking to get a copy of civ4. I never expected a civ game--turn based (right?)--to be so demanding. |

their trailers are in QuickTime, they should so port the game to OSX |

| Author: | [Gandalf] [ Tue Nov 22, 2005 4:27 pm ] |

Yeah... But I still recommend getting it, hopefully they will fix the problems soon, and I hear that it only works slow on some computers - not sure. I'm pretty sure most of my lag is coming from the fact that my world is too big for the game to handle, which it shouldn't be since the map came with the game. It's 3D, but it's still turn-based, don't worry .

Do you mean in-game movies? Civ-4? Those use the bink format - an old version apparently. |

psh, 1.6. get an unofficial server set up for Source, and if it has good enough specs I might play it.
for all of you saying css is too easy: that's what I first said too - coming from UT2004, and having played that at a high compettiive level, it didn't seem hard at all. then I played good people. if you're saying the game's too easy, you've never met a CAL-M+ player |

Yea... it took me a while to actually get a kill. I was a good newb, I never said WTF or anything like that, I just sat there and learned |

http://www.teamwarfare.com http://www.clanbase.com Clanbase is European, and I already compete on TWL - ranked top 10 on 2 of their CSS ladders, 30th on another. CAL is really the big CSS league tho, by far laregr than any other. |
