Battlefield tournaments

Spoils the whole point of the game....which is basically to blow your self and other people up in the most spectacular way possible, then annoy people by laughing far too loud

Hi again i am on a 3meg pipe here at the cafe so speed is not a issue.

Thanks I feel much better now you git

I think you still hold the record for Battlefield Chris, I've never seen anyone bomb a plane (in flight) with the B52

Pete is winning the laughing bit though.....

Well... I did have an immensely long reply to this post some time ago, but IE decided it didn't like it much and conveniently got rid of it for me. I'm now ready to resurrect it..

Backtracking a few arguments, CS may not be dead, but it's definitely missing, presumed sucky. If anything, playing it with huge numbers of maps and add-ons just makes life more difficult... If noone knows the maps, at least 70% of people just get wiped without knowing where their attacker was. Which is just annoying.

Other games Chris may have missed:
Tribes 1/2 - Fear the driving skills

Red Faction prolly deserves a mention
That odd Q3 top-down tanks mod (Q3Combat?)
BF Pirates (That may have been in the list already... sucky web browser means I can't check)

So. Pete's Challenge for SG17 then. A round of every game mentioned in this thread. Anyone joining me?

omfg its like streetfighter the movie - THE GAME all over again.

so they make a mp mod for half-life called cs right, then some bright spark has the idea to make a single player game of it right.

THEN some even more clever chap decides it needs an ace multiplayer?!

possibly not

now please hop back in your tardis and return to yesteryear when the interweb superhighway was new and CS was but a twinkle in young mens eyes

Hi there all just a few facts on condion zero.

The single player is SHITE.

But the multiplayer is awesome it now has all the 1.6 bots also the bots work with a lan game or over the net.Also it works with all of your old maps but they will be vastly improved cause of the new weather effects.
They have also upgraded the weather effects from 1.6.
They now have snow,rain,fog etc that is ment to restrict your view and so forth.
The bots are bloody awesome they realy do act like humans god if it was not for the low ping u realy would think your on the net up against the players of the word.
1 last thing cs rocks and condition zero is the lift it needed.

CS:CZ bots : PODBot

CS may have 'needed' a lift, but the question is, does anyone really want it? No-one that comes to shotgun, to be honest

roadhog · Post by **roadhog** » Wed Dec 10, 2003 12:13 pm

Fair enough but to be honest there is nothing quite like a good ul frag on counterstrike and there are still plenty of people out there who love it.
And its still the biggest online multiplayer game out there.

Dont get me wrong i know there are a lot of other games and some are awesome ie battlefield and midtown madness.

But its the idea of taking out a group of cts or terrorists before they can plant the bomb or rescue the hostage.

Also the difference in players skill and the way they play surprises are round evry corner one min there is a guy with a shotgun that aint much good then next a guy with a pistol and bam your dead ok you might say he is cheating but what about when it happens on a cheating death server ummmmm.Is the guy cheating or is he just awesome.

There is always a challenge on cs thats whats so good about it.
Ohh yea i think there alot of people out there who cant wait for condition zero.

counter strike died for me when it was no longer about tactics and everyone decided "hey lets play on de_dust constantly, and fuck the bomb, let's play "deathmatch with realistic weapons" instead".

do you play any other games? i used to play counterstrike with pod-bot all the time over a lan (to make up numbers) the "product" has got so old now and so many people have moved on to try other things... i only installed HL the other day to try out International Online Soccer i dont even give CS the time of day now.

counterstrike used to be cool when people were on a learning curve and it was new and fresh, there were no other terrorist/CT sneak and shoots around and the scene was fresh and friendly because of it, with all the clancy's and rainbow6 stuff thats out now all the serious sneak&shoot fanatics have left to play those, all the battle nuts have gone to play MOH, BF1942, COD etc.. and all the competition people have gone back to playing "twitch" games like q3a etc.. leaving CS with mostly kids and cheats. I've no idea why honest people are still finding fun in the game when theres so much other stuff out there.

so stop trying to ram CS:CZ down our throats, most people here have played it to death and moved on.

Post by **PeteTheHair** » Wed Dec 10, 2003 5:30 pm

Glad someone else got there before I did - I never enjoyed CS too much, as alluded to above, but I did enjoy the gameplay modes.

So why did I not play CS?

Cos so many other games do the job soooo much better. Rainbow 6 was the original daddy of this (with some stonking AI, incidentally), and I spent a while playing the most recent incarnation (Raven Shield?) multiplayer. Global Operations was a bit of a giggle (especially with the magic heartbeat detector thingy). Call Of Duty is the newest kid on the block, and that's pretty fun as well. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that this is probably because most of the community isn't 13, and no-one takes the games too seriously.

One problem with the existing CS game is the huge number of exploitable level problems and bugs that now can't be removed cos too many people use them. I was lucky enough to be running a top flight CS event for Intel over the last weekend at Landed (BBC News for details). Yeah, the players were good, but a lot of the time was spent firing through walls, etc into the tunnel system... This makes sense to me, honest. I wasn't really aware of this before this weekend, but now I know, it does explain a few mysterious deaths...

Besides, all this is moot anyway, as valve are a bunch of amateurs. Without Steam auth, you can no longer play CS (1.6 anyway). Steam Auth requires net connection. We don't have one. Ah well.

And yeah, I'm bored of this now. Quit with the fricking CS, and, for that matter, the decidedly uninteresting forum pimpage.

Extra points go to Eclipse for the nicest take on INTARWEB I've seen yet

roadhog · Post by **roadhog** » Thu Dec 11, 2003 9:28 am

Ok Ok no more ct.Anyhow we do play call of duty and battlefield also tony hawks.We will be haveing a battlefield server soon so maybe i will keep you posted on that.

p.s Sorry about the pimping i need to get some people to my forum.

And seeing your one of the best.

Thought i would post here.

rib? · Post by **rib?** » Thu Dec 11, 2003 9:42 am

ah http://www.box-logic.co.uk/ .. it all makes sense now pete

futhering on from the CS conversation, i personally think that the only reason people are at the competitive level they are now when they play it is down to the shortcuts, vunrabilities and hacks in the engine that allow for all these wall-hacks, funny targeting (anyone seen those video's that show the odd shot pattern of the mp5?). but for CS:CZ will valve finally plug these gaps? will they heck.. they'll loose half of their paying customers overnight.

That just about sums it up completely. Only the loss of broadband had a similar effect. Twitch games are only a short term fix. I continue to look for a suitable online replacement fps. To date I have yet to find one...

Post by **mid_gen** » Thu Dec 11, 2003 1:42 pm

As for Steam auth....Valve are allegedly releasing a LAN thingy at some point in the near future....I won't hold my breath though.

I'm well into playing Half-Life deathmatch at the moment, playing in the HLCCL league with some of the guys that come to shotgun, tis a good laff. But then, I've not been playing it solid for the last 4 years or whatnot, so it's all fresh to me

roadhog · Post by **roadhog** » Fri Dec 12, 2003 10:59 am

I know.I am still waiting for a good multiplayer fps.I was looking forward to chrome but it wasent that good then halo well its not bad but we have seen it before on the xbox and it dident offer much of a difference from that version.Anyhow i hope the likes of doom3,halo2,halflife2 stand up to the quality we should be up to by now.
