Counter Strike Pubbin'

Bribo and I will be on TS tonite at 10 for a short burst of Counter-Strike pubbin'.
Stop by if you're interested.

oooh, sounds nice.. May put Fall in the Bazaar and join you.

I have never played counter strike.

I'll be there right after the 8 man match tonight if your still on.

Never played CS either.

It takes a bit of getting used to, but it's pretty fun. I just started playing a couple of days ago.

I had never played until about a year ago when all my fellow Fleet guys introduced me to it. It is a great small unit tactics game. Very fast rounds. Very addictive.

There are a ton of people around the world who play it. In fact, it may be the largest worldwide on-line FPS game. It's actually a mod to a game called Half LIfe which many of you have probably played or heard of.

Lots of fun.

I know all about counter strike, but I just never got into it. Played half life and was even in my first clan with that game for DM, but then I fell into the evil pit known as Ultima Online. That sucked a year out of my life. I have promised myself never to get that sucked into a game again.

I use to play CS quite a bit but then got sick and tired of all the hacks and cheating out there. Even with Punkbusters it was still very bad.

Steam is a pretty interesting concept though.

I played CS from the first beta on pretty regularly for a long time. It's a great mod to a great game. Nothing since Half-Life has managed to feel . . . well, as right. I haven't played it in sometime, but I'd love to get back into it to school some of you newbie sissies. 1.6 looks pretty damned cool with the riot shields and new weapons.

I used to love counterstrike. But the cheats got way out of hand and I dropped it. I wouldn't mind sitting down for a game or two now and then but I'd have to dig out my old half life CD then download all the mod stuff (no longer have a cable connection so it would take a bit of time). Top off the fact that IDX, the company I work for, is moving into our new Seattle building this month and that has taken most of my time. In fact I don't get a day off for a couple weeks now, this weekend is going to be hell as we are scheduled to come in at 7am Saturday and Sunday and work till.... whenever, expect a minimum of 12 hour days they say (oh, and no comp time, no overtime, but they MIGHT pay for our parking on the weekend).

But I digress, I thought CS was the best mod ever made for a game and one of the best multiplayer shooters available for a long time. Hell, I even loved Day of Defeat and still think it was more fun than Medal of Honor. Either mod was better than halflife was multiplayer. Halflife was a fantastic single player game but the multiplayer felt very tacked on. Team Fortress for Halflife I also thought was a joke, but that is just an opinion.

A bunch of us are getting together face to face to play Counterstrike and some other games in early February. I'll post the incriminating photos of Bribo, Gunny, Stitch, Choozoo, myself and the strippers shortly thereafter.

By the way, I might be a bit late tonite... wife's class ends at 10pm (I thought she said "home by 10pm").

Who's up for some pubbing tonight. I just woke up and I'm ready to party!!!

I'm up for it... it all depends on when the wife gets out of that class (the final one is tonite.) I'll get on TS when I'm freed up... anywhere from 9-11 check for me.

I actually managed to break into the positive kills once today... :D

I am hopping on now to play cs for a while here is the ip of the server I will be on for the next few hours: 66.151.181.156:27015 this server only runs custom maps once in a while they will have a standard map, to save yourself some time goto www.ctrclan.com and download a map if you don't have it when you try to connect. Frag you l8r

Could you pick a server that might have a few more open slots. I've been trying to get in for about 20min now and I'm just bummed that I can't get in.

I'm in for some time on saturday or Saturday night for those who don;t have plans

Gunny and I did some pubbing tonite... I'm up for some more Saturday nite (and maybe Sunday, late.)

Is there anyway to pick UT2003 or BF1942 i dont have CS and i cant get it in a hurry, if you guys start playing it more, i will get it.

I am up for some pubbing tonight, I will be on the same server I am usually on which is:
66.151.181.156:27015 this server only runs custom maps, once in a while they will have a standard map, to save yourself some time goto www.ctrclan.com and download a map if you don't have it when you try to connect.

I should have played this long ago. I downloaded it for the first time today, and tried it out on Rocks' server with some fellow Knights. It was fast paced action, and lots of fun. Thanks for the GG's.

Yeah, it was a good time. Love that snow filled plane-crash level.

Thanks for the Fragging tonight. Great Gaming Gents!

You don't have Half-Life?!?... *boggled*

Anyone who doesn't own a copy of Half-Life should be ashamed. it's almost like someone not owning a Eagles or Pink-Floyd album. It's just not right. It's almost as bad as saying you don't own some version of MYST.

:D

I have Half-Life, but can't find my CD anywhere. I think I might have loaned it to someone and never gotten it back...if I can remember who has it, I'd definitely be up for joining you guys one of these nights. *looks in Faxman's general direction* :D

Who's Pink-Floyd ? and Why does he like eagles?? Are they 45 RPM's?

Beast,
I bought the "Platinum" collection the other day for $29 dollars (I've seen it anywhere from that to $39.) It includes Half Life, Opposing Force, Counter Strike, Blue Shift,
and Team Fortress. I owned Half Life and Opposing Force in the past, but sold them off on Ebay over a year ago.

Anyway, get something like that, and add in a 115 meg download (to update to 1.0.0.5) and you're in business :)

Eagles Record? Does having "Hotel California" on MP3 Counts??? :confused:
Pink Floyd? They are the Wall Song right???
And Myst well i played Gabriel's Knight (or something like that)

So guess i have done everything by the book :D

If it's an OLD game then i will pick it up, its only like 20 dlls for it, thats cool.

The thing is i'm not a very good FPS game genre guy, BF1942 is guns, machin guns, tanks and things i can understand, but when we take nukes, aliens and weapons i dont know squat about, it gets a little complicated for me. i bought UT2003, its a cool game but is not so much my kind of action.

on the other hand i just got my self my very first EVER console game, an XBOX, i never owned nothing else except a PC so when i go LIVE :rolleyes: i will be around in that also..

Any cool games for the XB???

I've never played and don't own Half Life, and I thought Myst sucked. :tongue: :tongue:

I'd rather kill stuff then solve puzzles. :D

For the XBox, you have to get HALO. Since you don't like aliens, this is just the game for you.. ;) Other good games are Amped, and Splinter-Cell among others.


Counter-Strike is a MOD for Half-Life. Half-Life is a tremendous game in it's own right, but Counter-Strike is meant to be "realistic". The weapons are based on real ones, and the damage they do to you is somewhat more realistic.

Somewhat, not totally. Anyway, it's a fun game, and you can buy a discounted version of Half-Life WITH the Counter-Strike Mod included for under $20.

Of course you'll still have to download the huge patch to bring it up to 1.0.0.5.

I hated Myst. I don't own an Eagles or a Pink Floyd album, and I never returned The Beast's Half Life CD. I am a horrible monster, and I pray for death.

:)

<- Owns many Eagles alblums... on LP still.
<- Owns all classic Pink Floyd (this Widowmakers all time favorite band) on LP and CD but lost most of my cassettes.
<- Liked Myst for the few hours it took to complete it.

For XBOX I realy like MechAssault a lot... no simulation but a hell of a lot of fun especialy on XboxLive!
I thought Halo was pretty to look at and fun at first but got real boring real fast for me. I just hope a good online racing game comes out for the XBox or PS2 (I have both with on-line capability).

I was able to make it through the "repeat" levels that seem to kill off interest for a lot of folks. Halo is the only XBox game I've finished (I hope to add Splinter Cell to the list soon though.)

Panzer Dragoon Orta is also really cool, but you you might find it more enjoyable if you played one of the older versions of the game.

HALO hands down is pretty much the coolest game. I know it will be very cool if and when it makes it to the PC.

Splinter Cell is really good, a definite worth owning title.

Mechassault is fantastic and really is awesome for Online play.

Dead 2 Rights is a cool game but more of a renter, then owner.

Onimusha is great for any samurai/resident evil fan

Dynasty Warrior 3 is very fast paced mindless fun, very cool game.

And for the bargin shoppers, Metal Gear Solid 2:Substance is now only 24.99$ and that is a most own for any xbox owner.

That's my take on the XBOX world for now.

Where do you guys find the time. Xbox??? PC or Amiga.. Think about it....

or listening to Abba:D
(I don't by the way, but someone here does)
