[KG_Zulu_5]

I love CS:Office. It's the only map i have memorized in Counter-Strike. :twisted:

[KG_GASXTREME]

lol @ Crimson.... personally i don't care for cs too much, as a lot of shots I have seen are just 100% grade A premium bulls***..... and don't even get me started on that damn AWP.... lol... I will admit though, playing it has made me a better FPS player, I no longer spray (okay, maybe just a little with the thompson) and my shooting seems to be more accurate.... :)
-steve

[KG_CrimsonTrooper]

Well Steve-O I can't help it but I think CS :Source is probably one of the BEST looking games out on the market right now.

I don't know about you but "Spraying" has never been apart of my playing no matter what the game, I am more of a control burst if I am using a machine gun(M249) or even my fav the M4.

CS:Source Rocks like no other!

:twisted:

[KG_GASXTREME]

I used to spray, back in my BF1942 days, because I could get away with it.... but in most of the newer games, they regulate the ability to spray pretty well :)

[KG_CrimsonTrooper]

Yesterday, I played CS:Source with SSPOOM, COOPER and Starfury.

Hopefully, Soldier will be getting it soon.

We all had a blast last night.

[KG_Noggs]

I dont like CS, CS:S

Why did you take a screen shot of a picture BTW????

[KG_Noggs]

Oh look a bird :roll:

[KG_CrimsonTrooper]

@Noggs...

The way your acting is exactly why we don't normally allow people your age to join our clan.

In your defense I hope that that was just a pathetic way of Trying to show humor.

In All Seriousness,

Andrew

For those that are interested in purchasing Half-Life 2 (You need to buy it to get Counter-Strike:Source) In essence your getting 2 games for the price of one. The graphics will blow you away guaranteed!

I am posting the following link to NewEgg where you can buy HL2 for $29.99 with free shipping.

[KG_AGCent]

I took a look at this screenie last night and can say that i am quite blown away by it. It looks gorgeous. I have, however, already spent my fun money for the month as of last night. I purchased Baldur's Gate II Shadows of Amn and the expansion pack for it, Throne of Bhaal. It took me nearly 4 years to finish the first installment Baldur's Gate so i look forward to at least another 3 years filled with wonder, adventure, frustration, cursing, excitement and oft referenced hack-lists.

If Andy is feeling particularly generous, he could buy it for me... I promise to pay you back next month...

Also, who is still playing Brothers in Arms? Any improvement in team tactics found anywhere?

Also, who is still playing Brothers in Arms? Any improvement in team tactics found anywhere?

Things are a little tight for me right now but I'll see if later next month (June) I might be able to swing something.

I still play BIA but to be honest with you I have been playing a lot of CS:Source as of late....

[KG_CrimsonTrooper]

@GasX,

If you would like, it would be cool if you could join us. :D

With any game your going to have people hack/cheat somehow all we can do is make a mental note of the individual player and or server and avoid them. I have only tried the sniper rifles but a few times, I prefer the MP5 or the Shotgun because I LOVE the close quaters combat myself.

@Noggs,

I took a screenshot of a screenshot because my computer prowess isn't that great when it comes to manipulating pictures pixel size and the program I do use for screenshots lets me adjust the size rather easily.


@Zulu,

We need your help... It would be good to have another player join us!
anytime you can feel free to join us.


@SSpoom,

Your skillz are getting better and better each day we play and by you getting accustomed to the various maps is helping. I look forward to many days/nights of being your wing man anyday!

@Soldier & Rob,

You guys are missing out on some killer action that will visually blow you both away. I think with each one of you guys that we could become a definite clan to be dealt with!


@Coop,

Your an animal bro! what can I say.... I need to learn to be as agressive as you are when playing. Hopefully you will rub off on me the more we can get some playing time in! :twisted:


I look forward to seeing alll of you on the CS battlefield! :twisted: :twisted:

[KG_Zulu_5]

I wish I could join you guys however my PC is broken (I still have no clue what is wrong). Once I get the funds to have a professional computer expert look and fix my computer i'll be on TS all the time.

I just hope things work out in the near future. :roll:

[KG_Zulu_5]

trust me i've tried...


and i'm still clueless :oops:

[KG_Noggs]

lol Did u hit it yet?

[KG_Cooper]

I wish I could join you guys however my PC is broken (I still have no clue what is wrong). Once I get the funds to have a professional computer expert look and fix my computer i'll be on TS all the time.

I just hope things work out in the near future. :roll:

I can wait man I miss ya! I have been playing CS the last few night and have had fun - so between CS, BF 42, and RTW I have lots of fun.

[KG_CrimsonTrooper]

Where is Soldier.... I am looking forward to breaking him in with CS:Source!

:twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

[KG_Zulu_5]

I gave into the dark side. I took my PC to a professional computer expert, lets see what happens. :cry:

[KG_CrimsonTrooper]

What was the problem(s)?

[KG_Zulu_5]

Constant re-booting....

After bios flash
After Windows boots
After half-way of booting Windows
After trying to reinstall Windows OS

If and when it boots into windows it crashes

After launching IE, Mozillia, Firefox, etc.
After launching TeamSpeak for a short period of time
After not touching or opening any programs in windows
After launching Windows Update
After launching Battlefield 1942 and loading a map running on a server

There is not pattern that i have noticed with the CPU re-booting. Very random!

However, I can take my HD out and boot it from another CPU (my dads work PC) and everything is stable.

[KG_Cooper]

My guess is:

Power Supply
CPU
Ram
Mother Board

[KG_CrimsonTrooper]

KGer's that now have CS:Source:

SSPoom
Cooper/Tankorr
Soldier
Starfury
Crimson (myself)
GasX

We need to all get together and play, day by day SSpoom is getting better and better. Cooper is getting better as well. Soldier, well um .... he's a bullet magnet but that happens when you just start playing... GasX I have only played with him once and he's a good player. Starfury...well... he's good too :wink:
I'm a decent player but together I think we would make an excellent team!

For those needing practice, here's a little advice for you:

Instead of playing on-line, choose to start a server.
Then pick and choose your set up and make sure you click on allowing BOTS to play with you. (Hint: if your just starting, click that the BOTS are easy! If not and you click normal, they WILL rock you!
I recommend this for all of you, it will help you get to know the maps ( which is half the battle) plus you'll get to see how the various weapons work best for you. You can even set up the BOTS to have KG Tags so you can have a KG scrimage of sorts.

You can choose any map you've played on-line because once you play it, it will be in your map folder. I recommend playing the McDonalds map for fierce quick battles. The enemy AI is incredible especially the harder the setting. Trust me when I say on normal they are tough!

Enjoy!

[KG_Panther]

It can't be that good...at what point do we say enough and stop buying 50 games...I have several rotting in my office now. Don;t have time for everything... :(

[KG_CrimsonTrooper]

[quote="KG_Panther"]It can't be that good...quote]

Stu,

This game IS that good!

[KG_Cooper]

Thanks Andy for getting me into this game.

[KG_Panther]

I bought it on Newegg and it should be delivered tommorow. Once I get it, what else do I need?

[KG_GASXTREME]

you will need a steam account I believe, and the steam application.....
www.steampowered.com
-steve

[KG_Cooper]

Just install HL2 and you get it all bro

[KG_CrimsonTrooper]

Be prepared to be blown away graphically and Literally (in the game) :twisted:

[KG_GASXTREME]

Just a quick word of advice.... JOIN VAC SERVERS, lol.... VAC is Valve's anti-cheat, anti-hacking software.... I personally don't think it does its job near as well as punkbuster, but atleast its something.......
-steve

[KG_CrimsonTrooper]

The way you find the servers GasX is talking about is in your Filter settings.

:twisted:

[KG_Panther]

Played it briefly last night. It's a bit twitchy finger stuff but pretty cool. I think they make the players run too fast (not natural). They need to slow it down a bit on that.

Stu,

I think you need to play with people who will cover your back and you'll get a better appreciation of the game. As far as the players running too fast, If you switch to your Knife or grenade you'll be able to cover more ground(IE. run faster).

You need to come on and play with : SSpoom, Soldier, Cooper, GasX, AGC and myself

The more we play as a group the faster you'll get used to all the nuances of the game.

P.S. When playing with Soldier, don't let him use Flashbangs :wink: :twisted: :wink:

[KG_CrimsonTrooper]

Thanks Andy for getting me into this game.

Anytime my friend, ANYTIME!

I cant' wait till we have ZULU playing with us...imagine this:

Panther
Cooper
SSpoom
Soldier
GasX
AGCent
Zulu
Crimson

**And Starfury, how could I forget about Jaydawg!

With all of us playing together...Damn I can't wait!

[KG_CrimsonTrooper]

We're getting better....

HajiHater is Soldier

Time to get a life boys...get a life.....

[KG_CrimsonTrooper]

Time to get a life boys...get a life.....

Why all the Playa Hatin..... :?: :?: :?:

Is it because my M249 did so much damage to you in the matches last night? :wink: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

[KG_CrimsonTrooper]

My score from last night.... Read it and weep Soldier!

[KG_Panzerschreck]

Play CM sometime Crimson, when you get a kill ratio like 2500 to 250 now thats kicking some ass. :P

[KG_Panzerschreck]

I bought it on Newegg and it should be delivered tommorow. Once I get it, what else do I need?

3 more and then you'll have a nice set of coasters for your coffe table, lol. :twisted:

sorry guys, nothing personal, i just couldnt resist. :wink:

[KG_Panther]

HAHAHA!@ Schrek

Yeah I hear ya. I've gotten caught int he hype on more than a few games only to find out they suck or I can't play them due to a technical glitch or patch that I can't download for some reason (i.e. Soldiers).

I threw out a lot of old games last month. This game is fun but I can tell I will get bored of it pretty quickly. Running and killing and running and being killed...that kind of stuff gets old. I enjoy the use of larger scale strategy much more (CM).

[KG_CrimsonTrooper]

Play CM sometime Crimson, when you get a kill ratio like 2500 to 250 now thats kicking some ass. :P

I just can't get into Turn Based games... I find them boring in my opinion ( just my humble opinion ) My biggest problem with them is if you see what your opponent is doing you can't act on it right away. Sometimes in battles you had but a few moments to where you could capitolize on a brief mistake.... and yes I have heard the arguement that "Hey thats how war was always fought" But I beg to differ... even when orders were sent it into the field commanding officers they could change how an objective was to be attacked or counter attacked depending on what they "Actually" saw.

Yes, Shooters have their place and so do Strategy games the whole key is to get the balance right. :twisted:

[KG_CrimsonTrooper]

So how do I add custom sprays?

When I get home from work I can walk you through it over TS.

First and foremost, get a picture you like... it can be a jpeg, bmp and so forth (gif's sometimes work) and if you have any photoshop or similar program reduce it to say 100x100 you should be safe and not get any distortion.

Cruise the interent for pics from your favorite sites and save them to your pictures folder and we can go from there.


:twisted:

[KG_Panzerschreck]

thats ok if CM isnt your cup of tea Crimson. i would be lax in my job of DC of CM if i at least didnt try every once in a while to drag other KGers who dont play the game into it kicking and screaming. :shock:

suprisingly enough once you get used to the interface and how the game works and is played you can react to situations as they develope very quickly in this game. alot quicker than you might think. but then again, as Gen. Grant once said, "it all about making them react to you, not you reacting to them". :!:

[KG_Noggs]

Panther
Cooper
SSpoom
Soldier
GasX
AGCent
Zulu
Crimson



Pfffffffffffff thats nothing without noggs...........but that not gonna happen, because that game is a rip off, because they make you buy a game and than buy another game inorder to play it............and you have to have an account.............thats stupid......



thats ok if CM isnt your cup of tea Crimson.

I have been looking for combat mission at the store, but there are several copies there, which one should i buy??? what version??? just tell me the exact name of the game that you guys play, or a link would help too???

[KG_CrimsonTrooper]

Don't be hijacking my thread! :wink: :wink:

Post a thread in the CM section Noggs, you'll get your answer.

BTW, it's Combat Mission : Barbarossa to Berlin and
Combat Mission Afrika Corps

:twisted:

[KG_Panzerschreck]

thats a hoot! threads get hijacked all the time. lol. :wink: remember my question about a stug vrs a nashorn dissolving into who you liked better, angelina jolie or jennifer anniston? :lol:

if you had only the money to buy one of the games Noggs get Combat Mission: Barbarossa To Berlin. but the games maker does sell a nice package deal were you get the above and Combat Mission: Afrika Corps Bundled with it. here is their website -

http://battlefront.com/

[KG_Panzerschreck]

Yessir Noggs, i think once you get used to the ordes phase and the game interface and how things work in CM, you'll soon forget all about these silly little nonsensecal FPS games and step up to the plate for some real war gaming. FPS are fun, i played them too ya know, but they hardly hold a candle to a game like CM.

and before you fly off the handle, you defenders of FPS's, i mean no personal disrespect to any of you. but you just cant compare the controlling of a regiment or two of troops to running around like a nut shooting at people. and yes i know there "could" be elements of strategy in those games, but good luck getting anyone other than the occasional clanmate to play that way with you. and i know what im talking about, im a veteran of all the MOH games and Both versions of COD.

[KG_Noggs]

So i should get Combat Mission Barbarossa to Berlin? Correct?

[KG_CrimsonTrooper]

So i should get Combat Mission Barbarossa to Berlin? Correct?

Yes

[KG_CrimsonTrooper]

Pfffffffffffff thats nothing without noggs...........but that not gonna happen, because that game is a rip off, because they make you buy a game and than buy another game inorder to play it............and you have to have an account.............thats stupid......



You only have to buy Half Life 2 to get Counter-Strike:Source

[KG_Panzerschreck]

So i should get Combat Mission Barbarossa to Berlin? Correct?

if you only have the money for one of them, then yes Noggs, get Barbarossa to Berlin. :P

[KG_CrimsonTrooper]

For all those interested Day of Defeat is in it's 3rd beta session and will be available September 1st.

Rob and others that have unistalled Counter Strike:Source will want to reinstall it by then because DoD looks freakin awesome! The modelling couldn't be any better! As soon as I get home from work (provided my power supply will let me.

[KG_CrimsonTrooper]

The DoD website is http://www.dayofdefeat.com/indexmain.php

[KG_CrimsonTrooper]

Day of Defeat's official launch date is September 1st!

:creep: :creep: :creep:

[KG_CrimsonTrooper]

The other night was a great night playing with all you guys! We were kicking some ass and I am going to add that server to my fav's for 2 reasons:

1. The Admin was very cool in openly acknowledging and welcoming us to there server.

2. It seemed played on by some really cool people.

Those that played I say thanks

KG_Armygroup
KG_Panther
KG_SSpoom
KG_Soldier
KG_Cooper
KG_ errr.. GDS_Starfury
KG_CrimsonTrooper

now if we could get just a few more players that would be AWESOME!

You guys ROCK! and I salute you!

[KG_CrimsonTrooper]

Day of Defeat has been delayed a bit but they do expect to release it sometime this month!

Check the forums as I will update asap.

[KG_CrimsonTrooper]

Day of Defeat:Source

will be released via Steam on September 26th!

The servers will be loaded up this week.

Any more news I will share with you as I learn it.

Here's a little about the game for those that don't know anything:



Day of Defeat: Source is a World War II multiplayer modification for Half-life 2. Day of Defeat attempts to recreate WWII battles in both fictional and non-fictional environments. It puts you in the shoes of either an Allied or Axis soldier circa 1944, Western Europe.


The overall goal of the game depends upon the map - whether it be to capture an area, defend a beach, or simply destroy the enemy. The maps included with Day of Defeat: Source will give players endless hours of replay ability online. With a selection of nearly 20 weapons, players will have something new to try every time they play.

Day of Defeat: Source puts you in the middle of the battle fought between the Allies (America) and the Axis forces (Germany) across a series of realistic maps. There are several different character classes on each side, each with their own strengths and weaknesses so choose wisely. The maps are excellent reconstructions of actual battle areas that of authenticity to WWII. Creative design and textures fill all of the maps in DoD: S, and challenging objectives such as destroying a point, or classic capturing of flags. Coupled with Day of Defeats superbly realistic camouflage of the layer characters and the ability to lie prone you really have to keep your eyes open and your wits about you. This all helps to build a superbly atmospheric mod.

Day of Defeat: Source implements certain features which differentiate it from other mods, making it stand out from the crowd. It goes for more realism than most with a stamina meter meaning you can’t go leaping about the place like some crazed Easter Bunny. Also if you get shot you might incur a flesh wound that will see you bleed to death if you don’t apply your bandages to it pretty swiftly.

Weapons are modelled on authentic originals they used in the world war and the sounds and actions are very realistic. The models have been made to accurate representations of the real ones. There is infinite respawning which means you don't sit out for a round like in Counter-Strike you are always in the action. The first person to die on your team will start a timer, this timer will continue to count down and any team member that has died during the timer will respawn when the timer is up. Then the timer will restart again when someone has died. This system ensures that you will always spawn with your team.

Day of Defeat (a.k.a. DoD) is the latest online action experience from Valve, makers of Half-Life and Counter-Strike. Stationed in the heart of WWII's European Theater of Operations, players join the ranks of an elite military squad entrenched in battle.

Each team has several "player classes," that give each squad member a unique role. These include scout, infantry, sergeant, machine gunner, and more, each with a unique arsenal of historical weaponry at their disposal.
Day of Defeat includes an expansive collection of missions based on key historical battles. And a near infinite number of additional missions, created by the online development community, are available for download.

As war rages, squads must battle as a unit to achieve victory.



Key Features:


Class system gives each player a unique role


Historically-simulated weaponry and items


Dozens of missions based upon WWII's greatest battles.


Built-in support for voice communication



New features:


Introduction of British troops.


Enhanced FX for smoke, fire, rain, etc.


New sounds and music.


Updated player and item models.


New maps.


Completely overhauled interface - supports in and out of game
configuration, server browsing, and more.

[KG_CrimsonTrooper]

For those of you/us that play Counter-Strike:Source,


The Ruff-Ryders server has added a few new maps that are pretty damned good ( Office Extended and another one that has Hosties being held in a church at night with a lot of open space )

Great playing with :

KG_Soldier
KG_Cooper
GDS_Starfury

Thanks for the games guys!

[KG_CrimsonTrooper]

*cough* DOD! *cough*

[KG_CrimsonTrooper]

*cough* DOD! *cough*

Again I see your pushing the boundries on the longest posts there Noggs...:tongue:



Both Games ( Counter-Strike:Source & Day of Defeat:Source) are awesome

So far I would have to give the maps in CS:Source a hands down victory but the DoD:Source maps are coming along....all be it slowly but surely...

[KG_CrimsonTrooper]

Jay & I had Rob playing Counter-Strike Yesterday... With the right tutiledge ( I know i buthered that word ) Rob will learn to love it and play more often!

After all it is a TEAM game...Rambo's die all to quickly!

[KG_GASXTREME]

Rob playing source?! oh my, now this is something that I must see for myself! :P
-steve

[KG_SSpoom]

OMG!?!?!?!?! Rob playing CS source!?!?!?!? no way
I just don't believe it........=)

[KG_CrimsonTrooper]

He did rather well for the "Wanker" that he is....

P.S. I am thinking of getting a few of us together and getting our own CS Server.
