----------------------------------- Amailer Sun Nov 20, 2005 4:53 pm Compsci CS 1.6 Server (Unofficial) ----------------------------------- If you do... come to the compsci server o.O 207.210.217.214 207.210.217.214 :D uh yeah... old game but w/e free server (for a month or so not sure) ----------------------------------- MihaiG Sun Nov 20, 2005 4:59 pm ----------------------------------- meh....halo pc and battle front pc are way better... :twisted: ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Sun Nov 20, 2005 6:02 pm ----------------------------------- 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 ;) ----------------------------------- Paul Sun Nov 20, 2005 11:38 pm ----------------------------------- :shock: Thats like saying wack-a-mole sucks 'cause of the horrible gameplay. CS is good when you just wanna have some simple ass kicking :P ----------------------------------- Mazer Sun Nov 20, 2005 11:43 pm ----------------------------------- :shock: Thats like saying wack-a-mole sucks 'cause of the horrible gameplay. No, no. Whack-a-mole sucks becaue of it's horribly outdated graphics! ----------------------------------- Mr. T Mon Nov 21, 2005 12:04 am Alex's Opinion ----------------------------------- :shock: Thats like saying wack-a-mole sucks 'cause of the horrible gameplay. No, no. Whack-a-mole sucks becaue of it's horribly outdated graphics! What if you were to make some uber 3D whack-a-mole. The graphics would be better, but gameplay would still suck. :roll: ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Mon Nov 21, 2005 1:21 am ----------------------------------- lol :shock: Thats like saying wack-a-mole sucks 'cause of the horrible gameplay. CS is good when you just wanna have some simple ass kicking :P CompSci sure is great for ass-kicking :o. 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. ----------------------------------- Paul Mon Nov 21, 2005 3:45 pm ----------------------------------- 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. ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Mon Nov 21, 2005 4:04 pm ----------------------------------- 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 ;). ----------------------------------- Paul Mon Nov 21, 2005 4:22 pm ----------------------------------- 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. ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Mon Nov 21, 2005 4:36 pm ----------------------------------- 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? ----------------------------------- Paul Mon Nov 21, 2005 4:53 pm ----------------------------------- Face down... what? I'm confused. Are you sure you're not holding your gun the wrong way? :P 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. ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Mon Nov 21, 2005 4:59 pm ----------------------------------- 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 :). ----------------------------------- Mazer Mon Nov 21, 2005 8:25 pm ----------------------------------- "]As for third-person-shooters, only one I liked was Metal Gear Solid, but that's for console. 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. ----------------------------------- Martin Mon Nov 21, 2005 9:15 pm ----------------------------------- Rome Total War is where it's at. ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Mon Nov 21, 2005 9:37 pm ----------------------------------- :) 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. ----------------------------------- Andy Mon Nov 21, 2005 11:57 pm ----------------------------------- you should all try to play civ 4... its swetet ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Tue Nov 22, 2005 3:38 pm ----------------------------------- 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... ----------------------------------- Cervantes Tue Nov 22, 2005 4:01 pm ----------------------------------- "]Civ 4's great too heh.

I never expected a civ game--turn based (right?)--to be so demanding. ----------------------------------- Tony Tue Nov 22, 2005 4:14 pm ----------------------------------- their trailers are in QuickTime, they should so port the game to OSX ----------------------------------- [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 ;). their trailers are in QuickTime, they should so port the game to OSX Do you mean in-game movies? Civ-4? Those use the bink format - an old version apparently. ----------------------------------- Andy Tue Nov 22, 2005 5:46 pm ----------------------------------- you can between turn based or simutaneous... simuataneous is crazy fun when playing against ur friends ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Tue Nov 22, 2005 6:59 pm ----------------------------------- Never tried that, didn't even know you could. How does time work then? 30 seconds is a turn or something like that? ----------------------------------- MihaiG Tue Nov 22, 2005 8:08 pm ----------------------------------- well....if any plays battlefront for pc....i usualy paly around 4-6pm./...on "SE" servers..or "no ai" servers :roll: ----------------------------------- Cervantes Tue Nov 22, 2005 8:27 pm ----------------------------------- you can between turn based or simutaneous... simuataneous is crazy fun when playing against ur friends Civ3 Gold Edition had this as well.

CAL is really the big CSS league tho, by far laregr than any other.
