Hell no. Only after HL3 can they make a movie. Wouldn't want the ending to be spoilt by Hollywood would you

i thought cs 1.5 was no longer supported?? or maybe that just noone played anymore. i've played both, own neither, but would be willing to get set up, i have a CD key from a copy i couldn't run before, and i heard Steam is a raging bloody whore, so my vote would go for cs 1.5 if we can still play on that version. also, if we do start a team, it would be good for a list of ALL files necesary to play/connect to online so we don't all spend a week searching for downloads etc.

OK, here's a list of software:

- CS 1.6
- Necessary maps (most come with CS - others are automatically downloaded via steam)
- Steam (http://www.steampowered.com)

Everything is available from http://www.fileplanet.com
Best relevant site: http://www.planethalflife.com

Of course, you also need a keycode (see my post on page 1)
Broadband is necessary for Steam. I personally don't think that it's that bad.

Yeah, I've played it with worse specs. What's your video card though?
I ran it on a Pentium 150MHz, 64mb RAM, 3GB hdd and a 2mb video card, although I had to downsize the window a little!!

i don't know what the vid card is, i havent gotten the laptop yet, my guess is that it would be whatever comes with out of the factory...

if you care to look for the specs, (i cant find them) its a Toshiba Portege 7200 CTE series. Toshiba's current Portege series are tablets, but I don't know if mine will be also. But yeah if you find the specs, post em, i'm curious to know about the comp. i'm getting

That laptop should be OK. I have a similar one (P3, 700MHz, 8mb video) and I have no problem. There is a bit of lag in frag fests, but otherwise there's np.

So what's everyone's fave server? It would be good to have opinions on this. I'm a CTS clan member, and I love their servers.

i play ALOT on the Purdue iTaP CS Pilot Project, also the 24/7 Dust server, DePaul Servers, i played on Bradley U servers once, and holy **** were those guys nuts, don't go there unless you want your butt kicked. I think the 24/7 dust is my fav. though, nice mix of talent, and Dust is just about THE perfect map as far a team advantages go, imo.

I've heard about the bradley servers. From what I've heard I won't go anywhere near them. The only source map for the moment is dust I think. I read a review about it in PC Gamer. It got v.v.v. good reviews.
Incidentally, there was also a review of HL2. It got the highest score ever given to a game apart from Half-Life, and got a must play award. It looks darn pretty!!
