well, I don't mind paying for Half Life if I can find it locally. I'm looking like crazy right now for a version I got with a vid card. Probably a lite version, but I won't know until I find it!

IBhacknU:

if you do decide to download a copy of halflife, you'll face the problem of cracked .exes trying to patch - a no go unless you can get a copy of a legit hl.exe. then, you have to get ahold of a legit WON key. Just go and pay ~15-20 and but a copy of halflife:CS i got a copy for my brother this xmas, he's really good, but i cant get him to kick all your asses since we live in aus :( :(

Uh, if you're going to put rats on it, give us a download site to get it. It's not a standard CS map.


As for the pings, they occasionally jumped up when neo turned on his porn server (he claims he wasn't running a porn server, but we all know the truth ;)), but for the most part, the pings (for the broadbanders) were generally 80 or less.

You can get a lot of custom maps at counter-strike.de. Just click maps on the left sidebar and put the map you're looking for in the 'suchen' box at the top right.

you click add server, type in the ip. Then choose the server, and it'll prompt you for password. Put in password.

LOL, I liked how someone threw a grenade and killed all of us after taking that picture. :D I had a relatively good score for having the worst ping. ;) Later, when some people left; my frags went up quite a bit. Anyways the server is up every night at 11pm EST I think(?) Until then, I'll see you guys for another round of fraggin. ;)

got my copy of Half-Life:Counter-Strike today at good ol' Kmart. It was tagged at $29.99, but rang up for $19.99 (and there's a $10 mail in rebate).

I dropped in this evening for a ass-whooping:)(before getting called out on a tech call:() Thanks for the tips UrbanTechie ;)

It'll be back again tomorrow. Don't take it personally if I kill one of my teammates. I'm having such a difficult time distinguishing the players:(.

<< Don't take it personally if I kill one of my teammates >>

Don't worry, this server (like most servers), has friendly fire disabled, so you can't kill your team. Unless you run them over with the vehicle on the map &quot;siege&quot;. :) We all used to suck once, don't take it personally
