Having just got back into the online gaming scene, I thought I'd start up my own thread about my favourite online game - Counter-Strike. Before I start a discussion about it, I just wanna find out who else actually plays it around here.

Yeah Counter Strike is a great game. I used to play a lot, but got fed up of playing on it with a 56k modem. But at the end of the month im switching to cable internet. So then i'll start playing again. Although i'll have to download counter strike and the half life updates again.
Do you play any other mods ? I like firearms, day of defeat and action half life too.

Counter-Strike is a fine game but I think going commercial is going to kill its success. It being released against other titles like New World Order, Team Factor and a few others all of which boast better graphics, gameplay modes and a variaty of weapons,skins and maps. The whole reason CS became such a success is because it was FREE but if it's brought out at the same price as a much better looking better playing game then people are obviously going to want to get their moneys worth. Which is too bad as CS really is good.
Man, haven't played it for ages
Loaded it up a couple of months ago and it just didn't feel right. It hasn't changed since I played it before and loved it, so I dunno why that was
Maybe my taste in games is changing

To answer your question, Wierd Kid, I don't normally play any other mods. I tried Day of Defeat once but didn't really get on with it so stuck to what do best - CS!
Yeah, Counter strike is the best of the mods, but day of defeat can be fun. The best level is dod_hill, which is great for sniping. All the Axis start in this fort on top of a hill, and if you are allies you can lie down on the hills where you start, and pick each one off as they leave the fort.
But at the same time, they are also sniping you, so it's really fun, and easily the best map of the game. I do like firearms though, is a very fun mod, and has a large selection of weapons and maps. Can't wait until i get cable, will be able to start playing again :)

Actually, I only just started playing it again last night for the first time since Summer last year. Trouble is, now, my ping is like 230 and rockets to about 1000 every 20 seconds or so!
So, I've decided to get ADSL this month, when I get a job.

Cable makes ALL the difference
Sometimes everyone can get lagged except those with really low pings, and you just pick them off :)
Anyway, my ping is usually around 20-30, sometimes lower
