Quake is leet because rockets aren't considered noob weapons and they take skill to use.

I hate counter strike so bad, i dont understand why a simple game like that can be so fun, which it is not, i have played better games than some dumb simple terrorist game. Yea you might say shutup, but tell me what game you would rather play counter strike/source, or halo pc/custom edtion.

If you have chosen counter strike just to mess with me, then why are you here? go to counter strike forums.

I agree with you getting banned from a halo server, -blam!-s like that dont deserve to ban you like that. Just because you kicked his ass, doent mean he can go all crazy on you and pretend you are cheating just so he can still feel like he is the best.

I'm there but, man this is really starting to sound like communism.
Long live the MAW.

umm let us see.
the netcode on CSS if you have a nice connection works like a gem, theres practicly no lag in the servers I go into. this making the game fun, not frustrating at some points. the amount of choice and variety between each weapon is great too, seeing how some/most of them are in fact real guns.(Galil, M4 A1,desert eagle)
hey column, supporting your reasoning is great you know. it's your opnion and right to complain every bit you can, but at the least give reasons as to why.
simplicity doesn't mean it's a bad game. Tetris is in fact a very simple game, and it's still famed as an benchmark in gaming.

Same with the UT series. I really like the weapon balance in those games. That, and vehicles in UT2k4 don't necessarily give an advantage over someone on foot.

Most important aspects of halo gaming: Aiming, Map Control.

Most important aspects of CSS gaming: Spraying, flashbangs.

CSS takes about 5% as much skill as CS1.6 which takes about 30% as much skill as halo.

Quake 3 is a very good game, I love the railgun personally. Lots of skill there, but was ruined by Quake 4.

UT99 was great, but was ruined in newer versions (but not as much as quake).

All "pro" gaming successes have sequels, and 999999/1000000 the sequels take less skill, which IMO is what made the games great originally.

CS>CSS
Halo>Halo 2
Quake 3>Quake 4
Doom 2>Doom 3
UT99>UT2k*

The list goes on and on.

On, and btw, in CSS the netcode really does make a big difference, it takes time to zoom in with high pings, time to change weapons, and you also have to aim behind your opponent, and get far worse registry. Also since there is an aimbot for the bots built into the game, hacks are super common, and you can rate hack by simply typing "rate 10000" in console.

Does this mean you dislike these games, Nessy? Or do you simply like Halo more than all of them combined?

I've been big into halo pc since it's introduction. After tons of bot accusations I've finally started recording regular gameplay. Since I'm an idiot when it comes to video editing my files are 4+ gigs a piece, making it a very unreliable method of proving I'm not hacking. However, I've heard news of an anti-hack that you just run and anyone who wants to see if you're aimbotting or not checks a website. (totally unconfirmed rumor from a halo buddy of mine)

Also, cs:s isn't necessarily about spray. Granted up close combat is pure spray and pray, but when defending an area or long hallway it's never wise to spray at an enemy 100 yards away. The ak's first shot can be nearly as accurate as an awp, and of course a headshot is an instant kill in most cases regardless. Halo only takes more skill to master because of the lead. CS:S has physics to master that blow a compensation for lag out of the water.

Btw, hcsepyon is my xfire if you wanna play halo some time. I can probably lock up a dedi for fun.

You guys are all living on the corner of Smackdown lane and jabroni drive. This game has been dead since the end the THe Cpl Summer championships 2004. Considering that was the only real company who held a real tournament. As for what my partner andylow said lol I was banned a month after it came out for being a hacker!!! That was also until at CPl championships were I 3 shot headshot a guy with sniper who had overshield he was on a ghost carrying the flag falling off the middle of double pistol's at sidewinder. If you dont know that location then you are a complete uber nub. For more rants you can check out my myspace at http://www.myspace.com/roo0thehalopcgod . Normal people can use myspace... its not for all for geeks but is reserved for halo nerdz like myself only by viewing that page will you be able to consider yourself a halopc god.l Wear it.

P.S. tHE GAMe was fun but was made very terrible, As to why you all are still playing it i have no idea. The truth is ive taken 2 years off I could assemble a team and beat you and ide put 100 on that beeyatches

So why the hell are you still here? Oh, and I think the 2000+ players still online would have something to say about the game being dead. And since when do tournaments have any effect on the lifespan of a game?

Well, Aim Bots help explain why there are some of those guys that you just can't kill. And they end up getting kill, after kill, after kill, and always having perfect aim :\

  • 02.12.2007 10:44 AM PDT

­"You have to aim above the head, but then a little lower so you actually get it."

-John Mayer

He didn't mean to make the aimbot, it was for a Zelda mod, and it got leaked before it was made to only work on the Zelda mod.

*sad*

According to other people's signatures, 98% of America has tried or is addicted to marijuana. If you are part of the 95% of the people who don't live in America, then add this to your signature.

It's not dead. I have Halo 2 now, and I still enjoy playing Halo PC (and own, though I do say so myself :D ) Plenty of people are on everyday, the games are still fun and exciting, and though some idiots still use aimbots, there are plenty of fair people out for a laugh. It's a great game with a great future still.

As for CS, it is mainly spray-and-pray. With such low health, thats all that can happen.

BTW, It wasn't some noob who got tired of being owned who created the Aimbot, It was BitterBanana, and he did it to prove it could be done, to bad some noobs can't keep it to themselves when its entrusted to them.

No, he didn't, he did it for a Zelda CE mod, as many have said before. Don't diss BitterBannana, for he is teh leet.

And, wow...

It only gets worse, and worse, and worse. I truly feel sorry for Nessy.

I was playing [M2K] clan server yesterday. Some kid started "flycam"ing me or whatever, and he caught me "snapping!" Oh man, this noob was lagging quite a bit, and decided that since I swept by someone's head, and then went back to shoot him, that I botted it. I was also warping on his screen a bit, so a snap could be judged prematurely.

He also clearly saw the kills that were very legit and took time. The kills that required skill and not a bot.

Better yet, this guy starts showing these vids to multiple people. He's convinced I bot.

Is there anyway that I can prove I don't? A program that I can use to track .exe's running on the computer? Because I'm really fed up when people label skill as impossible because they can't play.

And if you don't know if it's a bot, don't run around calling it out. Becuase 98% of the time you're wrong.

Yeah, that's why when I first got Halo, I never ever called anybody a cheater, because for one, I wouldn't know wtf I was talking about, and two, maybe they're just good or getting lucky kills, and three, I would hate it if I made myself look like a jackass for calling a legit player a cheater. It just ain't right. It's better for one cheater to go unpunished than for one legit player to get punished.

I've been called a botter a few times in my day. Not really a big deal, they're just mad cuz you're pwning them left right and center. I usually just tell them that they wouldn't know an aimbot if it came up and shat in their hat. They usually settle down after that.

Yeah. I know you wanted to call me a botter when I dropped in the Maw server with you and Zen and I started owning you mid-game. :)

You sir must not have been in a competitive match before with 30 k on the line. The game has very little to no support at all wich means its dead, just because you have 2 thousand people playing a game doesnt mean its any fun. Slayer matches that consist of tanks and banshee's are exactly fun they are for noobs 2 say the least.

And to the 10 year old who said cs is spray and pray? What do you think halo 2with dual weilding is all about. Took the skill out of the game so that little children could enjoy it without getting raped in the -blam!- By the h1 pistol have a nice day

1. He knows Halo 2's dual wielding weapons is unbalanced. He never said Halo 2 was better. In fact, he probably hates it more than CS.

2. Stfu.

Okay, I am not 10, I am 16. I also know H2 duel wielding is spray and pray, 90% of the time. This is why I play objective games and SWAT, which require tactics and skill.
Finally, don't talk about kids being raped up the ass you odd person.
