Oh HELL YES :D Militia!!!



I hope it's in just in time for the big LAN-party first week of December :)

EDIT: Wow, first time in years I've had the "Steam servers are too busy" message

The sad thing is, Cs: Source is the third most played online game, 4th being BF2 most of the time.

But militia rocks :p

BF2 is only fun with friends and a TS server. CS:S is just double clicking on a server in the list, play 15 minutes and go do something else


BF2 (while in the end more fun when played properly) just takes too much damn time for a quick fix. Plus, needs organising. You can't really fuck around in BF2, in CS:S you can.

I own BF2 and I love it, but CS is better for a quickie.

BTW, I hope that Vale doesn't turn all the maps into humid looking zones. I love HL2's style and textures, but CS needs more environment variety (yeah, I know that CS did the exact same thing with HL, using all those desert textures from the game)

What? Its a game and a more accessible game than CS.
 
No it isn't. You actually need to use tactics in BF2, large portion of the keyboard is used in a total of 4 (!!) different combinations (infantry, vehicles, choppers, planes) - the vast amount of totally different classes and the size of the maps.

Finding a nice squad, competent commander, low ping server takes a while. And the rounds of BF2 can last for ages. It's a way more complex game, and way more rewarding. But it isn't a quick fix like Funky Papa said.

Plus, I don't like playing BF2 by myself. It's boring. I only play BF2 with friends on a TS server...
 
Still waiting for Aftermath news. Why do I get the feeling that we won't see that until next year? (just as HL2 was delayed a full year)
 
Yeah, I know. =( My 256MB 9800 XT just died a few days ago, so I had to throw in whatever old video card I had lying around. This weekend I'll be looking for a new higher-end AGP card to replace it.

Will I be able to run it?

You should be able to run it. Source is supposed to be able to scale down very well. You just won't have all those purdy graphics.

I was wondering what the deal was. The Geforce 2 MX didn't seem to match the other two specs. You should be able to run it though.

My 9800 Pro crapped out over the summer and I had to put my Geforce 4 TI in for now. I'm actually surprised how good HL2 and especially DOD Source look with it. Only problem for me is that all the models in CSS reflect the environment for some reason.



:-\
 
Dayum! Steam is trying to update but some games and the SDK aren't working for me!

Gonna see if it's firewall related...

LOL MODELS AM SWEATY
doesn't that bug hurt the performance ?
 
I'm ready for a big upgrade (cpu,gfx,mobo,mem) so I can get back into PC gaming.

What kind of a setup are we talking for BF2 and HDR Source to play 60fps+ at 1280 res?
 
Athlon64+6800GT+1GB for CS. Make it 2GB if you intend to run BF2 with textures set on high without any hiccups. Any decent mobo should work, just don't pick the cheapest one.

I run CS @ 1600*1200 with everything maxed out (including FSAA and aniso) and runs like a charm. HDR is however much more demanding, so I have to play Lost Coast @ 1024*768 (with everything on) and 2X FSAA and 8X aniso. I must say that it runs flawlessly, so maybe I could try try it with 4X FSAA.
 
I guess the Source update is supposed to come out today, according to a post on the Steampowered forums:

"The Counter-Strike: Source update has been moved to tomorrow.

- Alfred "

Yay?

Can't wait to play de_nuke for the first time in a few years.
 
Is this HDR a fairly subtle thing? Just fired up the game after letting Steam update and checked out de_nuke with HDR supposedly enabled. Nothing really jumped out at me, though I haven't really played much CS:S and it's been a while since I touched HL2 either.
