Ah, Counterstrike, how I missed thee...

[moreau]

Well, after a 2 year hiatus, I reinstalled Counter Strike 1.5 on my machine the other day.

I must say two things:
1. I still love the gameplay of this game. Graphics are quite dated, not always realistic (climbing a ladder). Cheaters are rampant on some servers (though not like 2 years ago). All the same, most fun I ever have playing a game.

2. Runs fine on my Parhelia. Some claimed problems with smoke, though latest drivers seem to be fine.


UT2K3 is fun, Q3 with mods is fun. But... I still like the pace and realistic weapons with CS.

Just my 2cents.

Agreed everyone goes back just such a powerful formula and absorbing gameplay .. classic gaming experience imo and that's why I play it still.

You should try steam (1.6) which is now out as that will give your computer a run for it's money ..hehe it is quite a cool interface even though it is riddled with annoying little bugs.

hmm no slowdowns eh ?

Maybe I will reinstall it
I also stopped playing for 2 years (cause of the cheaters). I played for 2 years in a row (guess I was addicted )

I never played it again because of the irritating fps drops (grenade explosions)

As long as you have a fast CPU 1.6 is fine, I recommend this command : developer "1"
This will alow the fps to go above 100 fps standard

I've always been partial to the unreal games, but then again my mispelled name does appear in one of the readmes.

We should setup a MURC CS server

All the fun, with none of the cheats

[moreau]

I would be there...

any offers for hosting?

[Paddy]

I had a dedicated server...

If i can find the HD that would be a start!

[Paddy]

Bummer - i have erased the HD...
I am downloading the win32 iso (the old one was linux)

Give me a few days, and i will try to get one running

Any requests????

[moreau]

look into one of the cheat blockers...

Or we just need to "keep it in the family".

Otherwise, straight up counterstrike with a decent map rotation is fine by me.

Hey, a murc CS (version 1.5) server would be nice. Count me in.

[Paddy]

I've got the software and the hardware... I just need the time to build it now

If i had the time, I would go for a linux server - but it would take me longer to firgure out what to do, than it would to built a win32 one...
