Well, besides the fact that games like EQ and WoW are totally different than online shooters, I don't think counterstrike is anything to tout as the pinnacle of online gaming achievement... I got Counterstrike : Source when I pre-purchased HL2, played it online for a few hours.

In a word: Boring.

Just your typical twitch shooter, no planning, no strategy, no tactics... just run as fast as you can and shoot anyone wearing the other sides uniform. Sure there's SUPPOSED to be stuff each side needs to do, but the game timers never really give you enough time to do it... out of the dozens of games I played every single one ended with one or the other side wiped out... there's a name for those sorts of games... team deathmatch, and that game was getting tired already when I was playing online a lot. Back in my younger days I got off on online shooters (Doom, Doom2, Quake)... but not anymore. Heck, for that matter, mod's like Threewave's Capture the Flag for quake were quite a bit better than counterstrike... team deathmatch is a crappy redundant boring game type.

Maybe if they didn't have the 2 to 3 minute match timers there'd be enough time to do some planning... but I didn't see any planning on the servers I played, the level designs I saw were pretty rudimentary also.

I am a DAoC player, tried everquest, its pretty but not for me. Wont be trying WoW, read all about it and how people rave about it, but no thanks. To much time in Dark Age, dont feel the need to level up in a new game, plus the PvP in DAoC is head and shoulders above the rest, simply because the others dont have it. Well WoW does, but since I wont be playing it, I reckon I will never know.

CS is fun until you get that one idiot in your group that keeps killing you, or is just plain stupid!! Timers can be a bear in the game as well. Grenades can be your best friend, I took out a whole team with one once, I never laughed so hard.

LOL, what a steal? Are those your gp? I'm actually trying to do it all on my own, as tempting as it is to buy some gold
