iwishiwascool Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 I just downloaded it last night (legally). I've heard many complaints about it, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Any opinions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murasaki Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 I really like it but don't play it too often, mostly play CS:S cause I'm in a clan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buck531 Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 I played DM once. Didn't really like it. I much rather enjoy Source.. but I need a freakin' REAL PC to actually play it. Right now I'm still playing the old CS. It's getting me by though. Source is cool because they modified the HELL out of the texture and changed the maps slightly. It really looks "real world" now.

Buck531 Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Yeah it does take a little bit to get used to. I still have more bad days of playing than good smile.gif . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Crankshaft Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 <font color ="midnightblue"> CS:S, or any CS for that matter can be frustrating. There are many times when I am sure I've unloaded a clip on someone's head and they fire two shots off their glocks and I'm down. Oh well. It can be alot of fun when you play with friends. DM didn't do much for me. They need to make a game-like multiplayer mode, where aliens attack and you can be zombies and what-not. Shootin' people is fun, but I want teams of zen vs. people.

Mowgli1647545497 Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Counterstrike is different from all other fps games out there because of their netcode. If you're having a hard time at it its not because you suck its because its different from what you'd intuit. A quick tip - shoot BEHIND enemies. The hitboxes in CS:S lag behind where you're seeing an enemy because of how they implemented their client side prediction. Again, unlike every other fps game out there (tribes, JO, UT, Quake, Doom, OFP, GR, etc etc etc). Yeah CSS is whacked. Also remember the spray rises more than it spreads sideways - so aim at their heads and as you unload your clip pull slightly down. Also, if you're a broadband user and get on a server with a sub-50 ping, then goto the console and type these in (in any order): rate 25000 cl_cmdrate 101 cl_updaterate 101 cl_cmdbackup 101 fps_max 500 You'll be amazing how much you start connecting hits. smile.gif Folks wanting to catch me in CSS I'm on the Columbus Intrigue server most nights. Mowgli on there. "Shoot" me a hi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHIEF Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 AA = Americas Army www.goarmy.com Been trying to get people to play this. Alot don't know about it on here though.

Guest 00Smurf Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Source is fun. Enemy Territory is where they fun is at. So much better than CS:S. tongue.gif Nothing IMHO will ever top the fun i had with the original HLDM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowgli1647545497 Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 OFP = Operation Flashpoint. I guess the closest thing would be Battlefield2, but its not run n gun. Its realism^n You can pilot/drive/ride/man just any position in any vehicle you see. 50km by 50m maps. Massive numbers of infantry, armor and air assets can be engaged at once. Hows this for size: I have one scenario (Fulda Gap-like) I built where there is roughly: 2 Apache flights, 3 UH1 flights, 3 tank companies (thats 3 platoons each, 4 tanks to a platoon, 4 men to a tank) of M1s and reserv M60s. Eight+ companies of mechanized infantry (thats roughly 50 men per with accompanying M113s and Bradleys etc), several platoons (8 to 12 men per) of airborne in UH60s, and support assets like artillery, A10s, repair, evac, etc on the US side. On the opfor side (russian) there was roughly double that. All in one massive battle spread over about a 10 sq kilometer FEBA. Try being an infantryman in on that battlefield. The game itself continues to be updated and has a huge following - goto www.ofpec.com A quick screen: http://files.gotf.net/images/screenies/phcloseup.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rane Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Since were suggesting games. Condition Zero- The clostest version to a cs game done perfectly. CS 1.6 is to ugly, Source laggs even though I should be getting like 50fps (Vid card not working right.) not to mention all the source bugs. and CZ has less hackers smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Shoot" me a hi. Holy hell, I'm on that server too. Dr'Kyoji here. I'm usually on late at night or mid-day. I think I've seen your name once or twice. I enjoy both CS:S and HLDM. It really depends on what kind of mood I am in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just press the "~" button, right? I press it, and nothing happens. At the least I can still try the shooting for the hit boxes now, instead of the bodies. Thanks for the tip.
