Downloading Counter Strike as I type.....

old pc...and I'm not a fan of dell anyway

i used to be a console gamer back in the day, then slowly moved onto PC gaming. I used to be a console guy when I first got CS many many years ago, I don't know when I transitioned fully to pc though.

and why aren't you impressed with the game? well nothing to be impressed about these days because game play and graphics are years old but I still find it fun once in a while to play with old friends.

Don't be dissin' my Dell Dude!
Basically, the graphics and the fact that no one else seemed to be there at the time. I started shooting hostages until the server threatened to can me so I left with my tail between my legs. I just need to figure out the missions and get used to the keyboard controls. I'm not finished yet.

ah, you just have to find the right servers - some servers always have people in there while other servers are dead most of the time lol (gf servers mostly since we don't have a full cs fan base like general CS forums)

if you like quick rounds then you should play FY_maps - they are fun

my all time favorite is fy_iceworld, you can also try fy_snow, fy_dinoiceworld, fy_stoneworld

just search those, they are fun - no real mission, fy stands for Fun Yard or Fight Yard - you just try to kill everybody on the other team - usually guns at are your feet to pick up and you can buy things in the middle of the map (if you survive)

they also have surf maps, awp maps, gungames, etc. tons of stuff - cs maps (hostage maps) aren't the only ones out there

Thanks for the input & suggestions LiNuX.

Got to try out fy on CounterStrike yesterday for the first time.
First time online play with others as well. Got killed a lot but had fun.
Wound up scoring in the last third pretty consistently though.
I saw the weapons on the ground put was unable to pick them up so I used the handguns mostly.

once you get used to it you'll be able to get the guns before anyone else and end up getting one of the top scores - dying isn't so bad if you're having fun though

You never played a what on what now?
How long have you had a computer?
Anddd, if you wanna have fun, check out surf servers and learn how to do it, youtube is really great for that.

I've owned a computer since 2004 and have never had the urge to game online on PC

I never installed CS Condition Zero even though it came with CS 1.6.

Now that I have CS Source downloaded would it be redundant to install Condition Zero?

CZ isn't that much different from 1.6 - the major difference is that less players play the game so it's pointless - I tried it for a few minutes back in the day - then went back to cs 1.6.

Played CS Source online for a few hours tonight. A bit frenetic but a lot of fun.
