sort of off topic, but i used to play a shit load of counter strike like a year and a half ago, and am going to college this year(where i will have more then enough free time) does anyone still play cs anymore? or are there better games to look for that are simaliar? I am getting a pimped out laptop, p4 3.1 ghz, 512mg ram, 64 mg graphics, so any game will pretty much work. any suggestions on whats popular now?

It's pretty commonly known that HL2 got delayed. I heard it on www.gamespy.com though. Sierra made a statement about a week ago.

Yeah, halo will be fun. However, the XBox had online play (unsupported). You could tunnel it through a PC and through Gamespy Arcade to play online.

I think Deus Ex 2 will probably be a better single player game than HL2. All depends though.

HL2 will be available at the earliest around Q4. It's supposively going to ship with new Ati Video Card, the 9900Pro.

that seems odd that they would wait for the realese of the 9900 radeon beacuse itsounds like right now that card will not hit selfs until 2004 at the earliest even if it is realesed on paper in the 4th quarter

Its just a rumor, no solid facts behind it. But 9900 may be released as early as next month as well, so you never know.

its a program from valve that streams games to you for free, its badass but you need broadband of some sort. Its the only way to get CS 1.6 and there are a lot of other Halflife mods on it and halflife its self all for free. Its badass download it
