Right then, I'm about to leave the forums for a bit to play Half Life. But last night something caught my notice. Nobody ever plays it online now. There are simply no servers at all that people are playing in. I understand why, it's because everybody now is playing TF2 and Half Life 2 online, so they don't bther with the older version. But surely a lot of you still have the original game on PC. So what I'm suggesting is that those of you with a bit of time to spare and an inclination for online gaming, come along and play for a bit in Half Life, on PC. Should be a fun little timewaster :)

And to add some discussion to this topic, what other games do you enjoy playing online that are quite old? For me it would be the original Halo. Despite being quite dated in the series, Halo still has quite a large online following on PC, compounded by the fact that Halo Custom Edition has some of the best maps for online play I've ever seen in a game (those of you who've played the maps Coldsnap and Yoyorast Island will understand).

Download steam and download Counter-strike, Day of Defeat, TFC, or Natural Selection. Counter-strike is probably the only game with a lot of servers now, but I'm sure there's a selection for the other mods.

Half life deathmatch sucked.

Can't really get any more games now, due to a lack of fundage. I only got Half Life recently because it was being sold cheap (99p, free p&p) on ebay. Otheriwse, I'd definitely go for that option. After all, I've heard great things about Counterstrike :)

Gravity gun-only matches are still pretty fun.
OT: Running Half Life 1 makes the game crash on both my PC and my laptop, so I'll pass. Regarding great mods grab also Zombie Panic.

Well his post concerns the Original Half-Life. Half-Life 2 Deathmatch is pretty good fun every once in a LONG while. Original Half-life DM was just an inferior version of Quake DM.

I haven't played Halo CE in ages... will have to dig it up. The mods servers with grenade firing sniepr rifles and rocket power delivering pistols were the best, really added #ahem# pace to the game.

Or perhaps you sucked at it... actually no, it was sort of naff. But then TFC and Counter Strike popped up, joy to the world!

TFC, Day of Defeat and NAtural selection have all stil got strong followings. I never struggle to find DoD games, mostly becuase people miss the Bren and FG...

Gah. I need to find my copy. Then i'd play you.

I love firing the rocket into that tencaled thing. That was a fun bit.
