CounterStrike : Source
holy cr*p!!!
That is just the most awesome thing i have seen in years!
I played CS a lot back 'in the day' and signed up for the steam silver package, so i could play it until HL2 comes.
My oh my.. CS is back with a vengeance! Hope more maps are ported soon - this just blows my mind!
*off to play more dust*

I used to be really really good.. Or my memory tells me I was.
I no longer am. Gotta get back into it!
Of course I can entertain myself all day by watching the ragdoll killing and shooting barrels and bottles.

I'm a FPS fan from way back, but I never got into multiplayer games. There must be something to this game, though, since it is still the most popular (I think) multiplayer FPS game after several years.
I have played Unreal Tournament, and other deathmatch type stuff, but I get bored with it pretty quick. Is Counterstrike a different experience? Is it even possible to jump in this late?

I've been wanting to get this, but holding out for a new video card... is there any site that shows the specs of what it takes to run this well? I'm not TOO bad off, got a 128MB Geforce 4400... but it's not DX9 compatible.

Jumping back into it takes about a good 3 or 4 rounds, but after that you get your groove back and it's all good.
I remember that PA comic - definitely one of their ones. I love the expression on Tycho's face in the second frame.

You're kidding right? 
)
There are known anti-flash cheats as well as aim cheats out there right now. There is also the good old 'speed' cheat where someone zooms around the map at 100 mph.
I've seen all three with no chance of being even remotely wrong.
Dont get me wrong, there are a lot of better players out there than me - but i know when i'm beaten fairly and when a guy makes 15 headshots in a row ...

It's like going to the town whore. You know you are going to get an STD, so why bitch about it? either enjoy it and accept what it comes with, or just don't use it.
Cheating will always be a part of it. It still can be fun with it all going on.

Either ravan is responding to a ghost, or somebody deleted the post that was between his too posts.Yeah, there's a lot of cheating...but if it gets excessive there's no shortage of servers.

I dont generally bitch about it - I was just responding to someone that basically wrote that there wasnt cheating and that there always would be better players.

Didn't know that CZ was single player. I have it on my computer (from the Steam client), but haven't tried it. I heard the multiplayer isn't as good though, for whatever reason.

Man cheaters are up the ass it seems. One guy had 10 headshots in a row last night. It sucks that the cheating has already started.

So, I played CS a couple times back in the day. I sucked, never bothered again. Now I've got the Source version and I've got to ask...is it just this team play? Where's the deathmatch option, or is that not available?
If so, is Valve going to release like a real HL2 deathmatch? CS is cute and all, but I'd really like dome deathmatch rounds with HL weoponary, especially that grav gun. Or is that a pipe dream?
