Now I'm broadband, what are some decent online games?
Been playing CS:Source all afternoon, last hour with Germans shouting at me via voice comm which was very odd to learn I can irritate in a different language.

That's what I've heard most people do. Sure, you can base build and make tentative attacks, but from what I've heard it's like cS and the AWP. You wanna win quickly? Rush.

I know that's all I did in the single player campaign, as with all RTS (except for the Total War series)

Amass huge numbers of whatever, rush base. Win.

$11.
So work that out in £ because I'm too tired. And you renew monthly, so you can stop for a while and then resume whenever you want to.
Seem to be nice decent people as well, bumped into a Wookie from Nevada who taught me another 4 languages and gave me (not sold, gave) a shiny new blaster rifle.

Go to Tatooine, good planet for XP points.

The tusken fort is a good place to explore if you want to up your combat skills, but don't bother unless there are high level players their, those tuskens can kill with one shot. It's better to join a group of high skilled players and let them take the brunt of the fighting, even if you only get off on or two shots (presuming you're using a long range weapon) you'll still get loads of XP.

Also worthy of note, if you choose to join the Imperial faction, collect enough faction points and you'll be able to aquisition an AT-ST as a pet. It costs a huge amount of faction points though.

SW Galaxies is fantastic.
Spent a couple hours just blasting womp rats and being taught loads of languages by a bloke that looked like a WWF wrestler.
Then a Stormtrooper fined me 3,000 for trying to kiss him.

Halo can be quite good sometimes, but Vietcong rules. I love hiding behind a crate, flicking the mouse button, and watching my gun lean over he top ready to bust some some Gooks heads open. Fantastic fun.
