That was a 16x DVD-ROM... It's the fastest currently available unless I'm not mistaken...

Those are decent speakers too, they're the ones I have. Good quality sound and pretty loud too.

If you want 5.1 surround and not stereo then a decent surround system is about £40, and the nForce2 motherboard has excellent onboard surround sound, as good as any sound card.

Why the hell would you want faster than a 3000+!?

I think Halflife was more fun, personally. Gameplay was a lot more varied.

How can you even compare Halflife to Halo?

Halo is absoloutly streets ahead of Halflife. Halflife has dated so badly, it's still good in multiplayer but the single player is just so dull and dated. Things like the way you can shoot people point blank with a machine gun in their face and they don't die just don't feel right anymore.

First person shooters have moved on and Halflife unfortunatly has been left behind with the Quake and Unreal crowd.

No.

I know where you can get good 5.1 speakers for £40.

I even found Halflife pretty dull back in the day.

Too many annoying pin point jumping parts and just not particuarly good really.

Much preffered playing through Blood 2 and Kingpin.

Me too Deus Ex was better. The jumps were indeed a poor idea. Like some of the jumps in the Turok series.

Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
Wonderful...
... and so easy-to-use even for a technophobe like me. I had my website up in a couple of hours. Thank you.
