and also makes it so i cannot have my augidy @ 96khz, or i get a blue screen of death....It was REALLY bad, becasue of the coolant i found on my videocard yesterday, I thought at first it was teh card. Took me 4 hours last night to remember that i had changed that setting...4 hours of changing eveything else you can imagine!

What about an Aliens Vs. Predator server? You can pick up AVP2 at Best Buy for $10, which means it would be cheap to aquire, the hardware requirements are relatively modest, and it's a pretty good FPS (at least, I though so).

[DimViesel]

Yep,
I've heard AvP2 is pretty neat. Those hardened WWII scenario fans, (it sure sells alot of games... : / ) won't be placated by being provided the opportunity to jump into some alien 'experience' though once you are playing you may forget about your Thompson's & A1's & KAR's but who knows

Indeed a good server is all about response & reliable rates of connectinon - though I suppose it still needs a certain level of CPU to be able to compute the results of events occuring across all clients to be able to send the result back to all of them without delay right?
Though for a while to come the limiting factor will always be the connection delay so I guess this is not that much of an issue in real application of the technology.

Mmm RTCW MP / Enemy Territory anyone ?

[Off-topic]Damn there is a VERY LOUD car alarm going off coming in loud & clear through my window, though the effects give away the fact that it is a couple of streets away. It's 2:20 am!
We have an epidemic of car theft around here... its everything it shouldn't be [/Off-topic]

[piccoLEW]

i have enemy territory, apart from the extra ammo/grenades its nothing like CoD UO,
altho, CoD 2 will be classed based and buildings will be destroyable.

I wonder whats taken so long to introduce that effect, as far as i understand, its been around for ages, in games like Red Faction 2 which are a couple of years old ¬_¬

[GrahamGarside]

the problem with making things destructable is making it realistic and not just a set piece, whilest also making it practicle, it would be no fun if everyone hopped in tanks and leveled the level.
BF2 is meant to be introducing some level of destructability, but if they do then they should make heavy weaponry finite to balance it

Anyone coming in for a game of CS:S?

[Yan]

I might have a look just after 7pm GMT.
Is the server still running CS:S?

[Gizmo]

Yes, it is.
