Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Have any of you guys played this game? I just bought it last night. I was playing online deathmatches and capture the flag, and in most of the rooms it was bots instead of real people. Is the game usually like this? I have no desire to play against bots. Isn't the purpose of online gaming is playing against real people? Did most people who play it just move on to newer games? Its really frustrating! :rant:

Wow, welcome to 1998 ;D I'd imagine the original Half-life's deathmatch isn't that popular anymore, but the Counter-Strike 1.6 mod still has players even this day. Maybe you should try the sequel?

it was only 10 dollars brand new. I figured I'd try it out. Maybe everyone is playing half life 2.

people are still playin counter strike mod, even the HL1 version. so you might check that out. or buy HL2 + CS:source

jimmy........ my friend...... download a program called steam

www.steampowered.com

set that up and use your cd key to create your acct for HL... then download counterstrike and Day of Defeat (this one i play alot of) tonnes of palyers and ill school you all over the palcve :D

I've played like half of it. I didn' really like it, so i stopped playing. Now half life 2 is a friggen awesome game. i can't even remember how many times i've played it.

Agreed.  Half life 2 is amazing.  It's one of the most gorgeous looking games made to date.  The controls are so smooth and the AI is smart as hell.  Even the first Half Life is considered to be one of the best FPS of all time by many people.  If your computer can handle it, try getting Half Life 2 next.  Its definitely worth it!!

i LOVe half life 1! its so damn cool! never played a game like it!

i think im getting HL 2 to xmas though....

love the way you move all the way, dosnt take a elevator and it sums up your score and shit and you cant turn back... HL i genius!

I already have Steam. I had to download it to be able to play Half Life online. It shows all the servers for counterstrike, but I didn't buy that game. Can I play Counterstrike for free, or do I have to buy it? I've always wanted to play that game. I almost bought it when I bought Half Life.

There's the best multiplayer fun you can have. Ignore the hype and stick with the old school!

you can dl it through steam too the orgional HL key gives you like 5 or 6 games on it no extra charge

Huh? You can play the original Counter-Strike for free if you have the Half-Life CD key. Where did you get this info on "5 or 6 games"?

mmmmmm info is thats what im doing for ages...... the games are any vlave games based off the orgional HL engine


Half Life
Day of Defeat 1.3 (non source)
Counterstrike 1.6 (non source)
Half Life: Blue shift
Opposing Force
Deathmatch Classic
Ricochet
Team Fortress Classic


not sure about codename Gordon but i beleive that one is included as well

so that would give you a total of 9 games from the orgional Half Life CD key

that tells ay what the key should look like

Alright, I just didn't get what you meant.. I thought you were talking about a trial version there, that allows you play the game 5 or 6 times. Your output is a bit confusing, to say the least.
