I found Halo (Halo 1 I'm talking about, never played 2 & 3) multiplayer to be really gay, weapons are not balanced, and you move slow as hell (so snipers rape you. In closed maze maps, shotgun rapes you). But then I've only played Halo for a VERY short period of time, so maybe I just haven't gotten the hang, or discovered the good things yet.
And in single player missions, the rooms are repetitive as hell. There are 2 missions which are pretty much... grinding your donkey through 30 of the same rooms and corridors with slightly different enemies... not particularly fun.
Meh, lets just say I didn't particularly like Halo much, and think it's one of the most overrated s
hit ever. Stuff like HL2 are much superior i
mo.

its not your imagination, its just being better in your positions when playing as a team.
Sniping is rather simple, and you'll get plenty of frags like said. But if you know the maps well enough, you can snipe the snipers with simple weaponry.
I consider Halo to be "Arcade" wheras CounterStrike is the more serious alternative, just as fun though.
Whoa, H:CE is nothing like Halo 1, 2, or 3. Because the maps are custom, you can invariably find something to your taste. Like the "chaos" map series. All weapons on those maps are OP like a boss. (Shotgun fires 20 fuel-rod-cannon shots, Machine guns and gatling turrets fire missiles instead of bullets, at the same rate of fire)
But regular vanilla halo is most definitely overrated. I mean, headshots but no kills? Bullchocolate, I say.
Running Source games in DX7 mode on my PC works fine, so I'm getting CS:S now. I already have DOD:S if anyone wants to play that.
Could wee have a list of games that wee each have? It might help in deciding what games wee play.
Personally, I have:
Quake 2
Counter Strike 1.6
AoE 2
Unreal Tournament GOTY
Serious Sam: The Second Encounter
Urban Terror
I could probably get more though.

I really fancy DOD:S.... I'll get it when I get paid (I suspect next week,,)

No. Or at least not unless more than 1 person has it, and they say they want to play it.

That's why he's listing his games? So people can see if they what has he has, and arrange for a meetup?
Maybe not a listing on the main post, but I don't see why he shouldn't be allowed to post what games he has.

I thought he meant main post. My bad I shouldve been clearer ^^'
EDIT: Well
should wee end up with a forum, there would be no harm making a sticky.

Err... actually, you're probably right. I think he did mean main post.
I'm d/l'ing TF2 now, to see if it'll run alright in DX8 mode on my PC. If it does, I'm going to be buying that, along with DOD:S, CS:S and Garry's Mod.
As of right now, I can play LAN:
DOD:S
CS:S
StarCraft
WarCraft III
Warhammer 40k DoW: All expansions
and actually online:
Any GoldSrc game
Diablo II
UT2004
Halo
