I want to play counterstike.

Az · March 21, 2003, 09:26

How do I do it?

I am a total noob. I played lots of 3d shooters, but only played CS once, on a LAN.

Jamski · March 21, 2003, 09:31

You have my sympathy. I can recommend a neural surgeon, who will fix your brain - for a small fee.

as WoA said: go see a doctor/surgeon

Az · March 21, 2003, 09:54

Thanks a lot. go toss into a jar or something.

Traianvs · March 21, 2003, 10:06

instructions are simple:

If you are on defense, take a sniper or any other noobish weapon and crawl behind a crate or something similar, effectively blocking the entrance to the attackers target, this is the best CS tactic there is... of course it is kinda boring as you have to wait several minutes for your enemies..

If you are on the offense, it is just as boring as you will perish at the same bottlenecks where the defenders are camping over and over again, only thing you can do is throw those big ugly grenades (weird grenades as you can throw em 100 meters away or more.. lol)

Az · March 21, 2003, 10:16

I haven't launched it yet. is there any way to play it online?

( I am downloading HL itself now, and I've downloaded the CS add on. I would've bought it, I am not that cheap, but there is none in stores)

Zopperoni · March 21, 2003, 10:42

To play CS online, you need a valid HL serial. A serial created by a key generator will NOT work for online gaming, since all valid keys have a unique WON ID.

So you either need a ganuine stand-alone version of CS, or a genuine version of HL to be able to play online.

Az · March 21, 2003, 10:54

but I cannot get those.

Zopperoni · March 21, 2003, 12:27

Do you know anyone who plays it? Maybe you can use that person's serial.

Otherwise you could try finding HL second-hand somewhere. The game dates from 1997 so someone must be bloody bored with it by now.

Az · March 21, 2003, 13:09

ebay?

Zopperoni · March 21, 2003, 13:32

Possible...

I was thinking more of flea markets or second-hand-stuff-shops.
Maybe you'll have some luck with Israelian eBay-ish sites.

Traianvs · March 21, 2003, 14:37

weird eh I managed to play it online and I didn't buy the game, lol
I can't remember what i did there thuogh

anyway you will need the latest patches etc (i think you need to patch both HL and CS)

Az · March 21, 2003, 15:01

Isn't there any way to set up a fake LAN or something over the net, and then play it via LAN?

Sarxis · March 22, 2003, 06:48

CS? Really? CS?

VJ · March 22, 2003, 07:32

Multiply your age by 3, then add 40. Then subtract it with the number of CS-MP-games you've played (max. 40), divide it with 2 if you liked CS.

Thus, you have your IQ-score.

Sarxis · March 22, 2003, 08:01

120. I'm decidedly average.

General Ludd · March 22, 2003, 09:58

Counter-Strike is really a great game, it's just a shame that it's player base is so utterly horrible.

Apparently I have an IQ of 46, then.

Az · March 22, 2003, 10:46

just like me!

in any case, I don't see what's the point of flaming people just because they like it. I am sure that you have lotsa fun playing chessmaster 4000, or whatever, but this is a game, and it was mean to be fun.

Maquiladora · March 22, 2003, 11:03

Just dont take it too seriously and youll have fun. You notice more how many *******s there are in the CS community because theres alot of talking between rounds thats all. People bash CS because its the most popular online game, or that and theyre shite at it...

Traianvs · March 22, 2003, 18:26

Or, they simply hate the game... CS caused a bad evolution in the land 'o games... other games are now adopting the "round" system as well (which is buying weapons and when getting killed you have to wait at least 2-3 minutes as movement speed in CS is horribly slow and unrealistic, real soldiers don't WALK this slow and they certainly don't jump like that!)

Maquiladora · March 22, 2003, 18:50

Other games? Team Fortress, Tactical Ops et al are the other ones that have rounds, and if so many people like it it cant be that bad of an evolution, in fact it creates a more social game. CS isnt about realism its tuned for balance and fun, some of the early betas the jumping was insane and buggy. If you want fast FPS instant-spawn play Quake, i still play Quakeworld.

I play with 56k and if i can put up with the schoolies moaning about their <30 ping lag on their daddies computer then im sure other people can.

Yep. :/

CS is so well known that it attracts young people. That's why... Erm... yeah.

Mine is 81, if you're interested. Don't take it so seriously

cs's worst devolution is the random cone aiming imo. i hate the realism craze it spawned since realism is not important to me at all. fun is what gaming is about and realism seems to make people forget fun sometimes. cs is really a lowest common demoninator type of game which is why it's such a big hit. i have to admit it has great netcode but that's only because it's based on quakeworld(which has better netcode than cs).

Az · March 23, 2003, 12:55

"random cone"?

TASSADAR IS 50 YEARS OLD?

Az · March 23, 2003, 16:17

Wow, I always pictured him as a young guy, for all of his trolling. Now I know, he's just an IMMATURE OLD MAN!

Jamski · March 24, 2003, 04:19

Actually, I think he's a 130 year old CS fan.
Very worrying indeed.
