They do make a XBox version of counterstrike btw.

Im actually not that knowledgable of the technical details behind CS, so can anyone explain what all this steam thing does? I understand its just supposed to update counterstrike automatically, but the installer alone is 350 mb. Does it really change the gameplay of CS that much, because I like CS as is. Also can anyone tell me how difficult it is to run servers, because alot of servers seem highly modified. Do all the new maps come with steam?

Since XBConnect makes your XBox think it’s conencting to a system link game when in fact it’s connecting over the internet to other XBoxes near and far, I wonder how difficult it would be to set it up so PC Halo players could combat XBox Halo players?

Its already being done with Final Fantasy XI, this is a cross platform online multiplay game that allows Playstation 2 players to play against PC players.

Clearly you people need to go get XBConnect and join in the Halo online revolution 😎

There are definately other good online multiplayer shooters out there most noteably Battlefield 1942 and Ghost Recon. But you just cant beat CS as the ultimate test in shooting skill and tactics.

BTW- Does anyone know how to configure a mic to CS? I got the mic settings on in the game, but it just wont pic up either my sound card or on board sound.

Back to CS then. I think they ought toa dd some new guns. I’d like them to add;

1: HK G36- maybe a carbine version, or the original version.
2: QBZ-95- increase in bullet diameter would be great for CQB.
3: Imagine replacing the XM auto shotgun with a USAS-12 autho shotgun except with a 20 round mag. This might be a bit too easy to get a kill though.
4: M60E3? or some other type of machine gun.

On the new pickup weapon maps like pool party or iceworld2 they have this new automatic sniper rifle that sort of looks like the G36 but has high magnification like the other sniper rifles. Man when I get my hands on that thing….MULTIKILL!….RAMPAGE!

I think he means mozzorella cheeese

You ought to try Call of Duty. There is a mission where as an SAS commando, you attack a heavy water plant in Norway. Also, the Russian campaign is spectacular.

No its not a heavy water plant in Norway, its a hydo electric Dam in the Ruhr region of Germany where you knock out flak guns and generating equipment. The spectacular part of the Call of Duty Russian campaingn is definately the T-38 tank battle part. Absolutely gorgeous. They should really make an entire tank battle game from that. The Battleship part was impressive also. I spent time clearing that ship out in parts that didnt needed clearing just to see what it looked like. If they were to model the entire interior of that ship, you would have another good game in itself. The infantry combat in Call of Duty really isnt that much better than MOH. And the overall Call of Duty was a much shorter game than MOH which is a disapointment considering the price of Call of Duty.

Thats not true. I just started playing Spearhead, the expansion to MOH a couple of days ago, and you start out as British commandos.
