I'm a big fan of Counterstrike 1.6. Play it most weekends. Bought Source but I don't have a computer fast enough to play it on :(

I got Guild Wars in June last year and I haven't stopped playing it since.  I used to play CS:Source, Star Wars Battlefronts 2 and Age of Mythology but these games have sort of fallen to the wayside.



With Factions (the sequel to Guild Wars) coming out in 3 weeks time, I am going to get even less sleep than usual.



Highly recommended game :)

Factions comes out on Friday!  



*excited*





btw, do ANY of you play CounterStrike:Source?  Its my first experience of Counterstrike, but some say 1.6 is better.  How so?

I have Source but can't play it - my machine isn't up to spec :( 1.6 is good if you can find a server that does the whole map rotation. Alot of them will only rotate through a few maps and the rest allow the players to decide what is to be played so you tend to end up playing the same few maps over and over again.



Played a demo of a game called Freelancer (an old game) and it would appear to be a remake of one of my all time favourites, Elite. So I bought it on ebay last night, so I'm sure there will be a few sleepless nights when that arrives.

i play 1.6 condition zero, if u really into your games 1.6 is supposedly better as things like bullets registering are more accurate but source has a really nice look to at becos of the graphics revamped maps

 

i like 1.6 it cos im in a clan which is for shit players (e.g me!) and just based around having a laugh so we get away with slapping each other when defusing bombs etc but if i wasnt in the clan i wouldnt play it

Not really, I informed her well in advance!



Factions is an excellent game by the way, and one that will no doubt keep me from my bed over the next few months.



Coffee is my friend.
