I could have plopped this in the Xbox thread but didint want to change the subject from Xbox(duh!).

Just wondered if any of you play this online game - Counter Strike.
This game is serious and i have been addicted for months now, just cant get enough, as I am a 'newbie' to the game (some people i gather been playing for years) EVERY kill i get is SO satisfying.

If you are not aware of what this game is - basically you join one of two teams, Terrorists or Counter-Terrorists and the aim of each game depends on what map you are playing:

-Some maps need Terrorsists to plant a bomb, and CT's to stop them

-Some require the rescuing of hostages (I prefer this one i think, trying to creep around and find the hossies and then escort them back to base under fire!!)

Everything about this game is class, the guns (shotguns, SMG's and rifls to name a few) and equipment (smoke/flash grenades and normal grenades too), there is blood that makes it look realistic too.

One of the good things also is that once you die, you dont restart until the round ends (either by saving hossies, detonating/defusing bomb or everyone is killed), so it makes you THINK about what you are doing, as Kamikaze style WILL GET YOU NOWHERE (believe me i have tried it  :laugh: ).
Also i have to say this game has given me a real appreciation of what it must be like in the army, and that stealth and teamwork are key.

Anyway, just wanted to know if any of you have played it and what you think of it, what maps you like, what are your fav guns to buy etc;

If you havent played this game, I would most definetly reccommend it to all....Class game trust me!!!

I have Half Life 2 and Counterstrike source yet never played counterstrike, for some strange reason.

The original Counterstrike was a HUGE online game in the late 1990s, and Counterstrike source is essentially a remake but with vastly superior technology.

Might give it a lash some night, if I can drag myself away from World of Warcraft.

Yea i was gonna get into 'world of warcraft' until i found out that you need to pay in batches ie; 3months, 6months etc; and to be honest that put me off, i just cant afford anything apart from essential luxuries at the moment.
That game looks class and i really wanna play it, but funds just are not there at the moment.......Thats why Counter Strike Source is good, once you've bought half life 2, all you have to do is go online and find a server, there are about 1,000 servers in europe alone, so it is NEVER a problem getting a game no matter the time.


Also the 'ragdoll effect' that they use now is class, and i have seen myself in some funky positions after being killed, also being able to shoot stuff in the environment is god too, but i just found last night that you can shoot through wooden boxes...one guy tried to hide behind a large wooden box, i unloaded my clip at the box and it killed him, serves him right for tryna hide like a p.ussy !!!!
Get playing JBG, maybe I will take you out some time :p  :D .......My name online is Gaddaffi :cool: .



So how do you pay for wowc, online or do you buy 'credit' from a computer shop??

Ps- doesnt look like anyone else has played CS:Source does it, and they aint interested either..............Feel free to delete this thread if you feel its needs doing :(
