I discovered something last night that I had heard quite a bit of buzz about in the past few months, but never had the desire to check it out. Counter-Strike for Half Life is pretty dang awesome. It's like Rogue Spear without a lot of the super-involved command and control functions. Games are fast-paced and usually don't last more than 3-4 minutes. So even if you die right off, you won't get too bored waiting to respawn in the next round.
DSL is massively helpful to my multiplayer experience in HL in general, too. I probably never even considered Counter-Strike because I knew that the lag and stuff would be horrible on my sad little modem. And then there's the 72M download of CS Beta 7.1...ouch!
Anyway, if you haven't played it, I highly recommend it. We could even meet on a server ala Tribes and get some Roger Wilco or something going... I personally pretty much suck at the game so far, but it's still fun! Hasta!
