lololol. HLDM is far from slow. Its also far from decent these days (there was a point when it was good, IMO)

In the early days before CS HLDM was super slow compared to AQ2, Q2DM and Q2CTF etc

Only because of the ludicrous strafejumping in it ;)

HLDM is fairly paced, if you have a clue what you're doing.
Plus its easier to be faster in HL than it is in Q2, don't need to actively learn to strafejump.

I'd go back to HLDM for a nostalgic visit (once upon a time it was all I played, I r0x0red at Tau) if it wasn't for them changing all the commands a couple of patches back and rendering all my tweaks (bar 2; in a list of about 70) obsolete.

Tossers fiddled with the DM aspect too, cunts.

Uhh. CS is slow. I played HL DM pretty much as soon as it came out, and though I enjoyed it (it was novel) you felt like you were lugging around a bag of bricks. Jumping was half-hearted, and running wasn't really.

Which is why everyone has the jump module. Because its leet. It makes thou fasty jump (and we're talking proper motherfuck jumps)

HLDM was great, I miss the old times :)

Games these days are all shit. And not entertaining.

HLDM isn't even a blip on the scale...it was nothing and didn't even work as well as Q2.

Well, the weaponry was fun, and the ability to graffiti custom logos everywhere was definitely a Good Thing. But, other than that...

I played HLDM the other day to see whats its like, and i realized something, due to my extreme familiarity with HL Weapons and physics (I still play SP HL, Add on packs and mods)... I kick ass!!

The tau is shit now though, the mp5 arc was reduced so you can jump into it (flidishly) etc.

Netcode was appalling aye, but once I tweaked it (er, very extensively) I could get it running extremely smooth (for 20fps, anyway) ... man fear my 7fps Using tau on bootcamp ://////

Go p266!

No, I mean fps. my ping is (and has always been) a steady 120.

Counter Strike - The most 'tactical' of the FPS but doesn't go as far as OpFlash. Based on the dated Half-Life engine but undoubtedly has the largest following.
You'd not think that if you played it in some of the servers :(

My suggestion though would be to go with either Half-Life or Quake 3 just because of the sheer number of mods that are out there which can change the game if you don't like it how it is.

UT - is nothing like Unreal 'cept for the engine. Best CTF mode money can buy

Q3 is faster and prettier than UT and has Rocket Arena 3, a great mod.

CS is cool if you have patience and prefer realism and can put up with all the lamers on public servers. I don't see why people go on about the dated engine cos i think it looks lovely (using openGL).

T2 I know nuttin either ;)

PS You do know Quake3 and UT have demos, right?

Nibbler - you speak reasonable amounts of truth about the games except you say Q3 is faster than UT. In UT CTF the translocator makes it very fast paced :)

Someguy - You ARSE !!! :D

Shabbazz - nice smilie :)
