Matt Young 0 Report post Posted December 5, 2003 Lately, I have been reading about Counterstrike's immpending Xbox release in EGM. What intrigued me most, however, is the fact that the magazine stated that the PC version is free and will run on shitty computers (like mine). I have been playing console video games practically since I was born, but I have very little experience with PC gaming. I have heard from a lot of friends that Counterstrike is a great, addictive game. Basically, all I know about it is that it's a home-made Half-Life mod. I really liked the little bit of Half-Life I played on the Dreamcast, so I'm guessing I'd enjoy this game. I plan on looking up as much info as possible after Smackdown, but I was wondering if those who play the game could give me some info and tell me about the game. Would it be worth playing on my 56k? Where can I download it? Also, if you want to discuss any aspects of the game with each other, feel free to do so in here as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IllustriousOne 0 Report post Posted December 5, 2003 The PC Version isn't free, unless using alternative methods to acquire it. It's worthless on a 56k, so don't even bother with it. Heh. It's a standard first person shooter, with a lot of cooperative and team elements. I'm horribly, horribly addicted to it. But, if you've got 56k, no reason to go out and buy it, unless you like to live dangerously. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt Young 0 Report post Posted December 5, 2003 Don't play it on X-Box. That is all. You know me Matt, trust me. I don't even have an Xbox yet, but why do you say that, Josh? Just curious... Actually, you are one of the main reasons I've become interested in the game. I guess the general consensus here is that it's not worth trying to play it on a 56k, which kind of sucks since I really want to try it out. Oh well... I will be moving to Springfield pretty soon and will finally be in an area where I can get broadband, so then I can enjoy the game in all its glory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
