  1. I think the biggest problem with aztec, dust, or italy is that it leaves one side at a clear advantage. This isn't a big deal when you've got a group of people who want a challenge and will keep the teams even, but a majority of pubbers simply want to stack the easier side and dont really care if the other side is getting creamed. Its all about score. I'm personally not much for the map, but at the same time - with good teams on each side. its a decently fun one. I think their are better designed ones simply because scoped weapons are what aztec was ment for with the open spaces and such- and i enjoy a more close and 'intimate' feeling as i empty shell after shell around someone's head before i die. Like ConGregation said, balanced maps are hard to find, they always have been. Maps like this tend to make the loosing team frustrated and very prone to /quit.
  2. well. i spent nearly 1000 on me for books and school next semester, and 300 on gifts. i'm so broke- i'm sending checks out not signed to pay off my bills just so i have an extra week between them calling me back, me resending it and stuff. it works really well.
  3. i have never ceased to be amazed at what all exactly vavle is able to 'do right'.
  4. in the name of everything holy...the father..the son...the friend of the son(lunk)...do not get a saturn... i can't stand them. everyone i've ever known that had one has hated it. its great gas millage and service and stuff- but thats about it. pontiac has a better engine..and is a better car. go with it.
  5. i've noticed that too..i wonder if it's jamming..or just some code glitch?
  6. it all depends if you are going to be building a top of the line system and how much you are tossing into it. yes, its worth it..but those boards and cards are going to cost a sweet penny. if i remember there isn't much of a performance difference between pci-e and agp at this piont, we aren't really using the extra pipelines.
  7. someone used one of those on the doh server, and let me tell you..they trick you really good in game. heh. definately not a good thing for a serious game.
  8. hm. well, evidently there is a way to setup dedicated linux servers to have bots.. but no word on just practicing in offline mode on windows. edit : nevermind. vavle didn't activate the commands to add bots, and no date on when they will.
  9. barton 2500+ 768 of 3200 ati 9200. i average around 35 fps, dip down to below 30 sometimes..aztec kills me at a staggering 25. i run 1068x800 with high detail.
  10. sweet. see you guys there at some point.
  11. hah. tamriel rebuilt will never happen. they might have a shot with the new engine though..and its auto terrain generation... heh. last i heard they had a lot to do still.
  12. hahaha. stop being lazy. i want those skins. i'm tired of the standard skins already
  13. i'm really let down by the lack of dark areas. no more hiding in shadows i guess.
  14. i've heard the same thing..but i dont know how...
  15. yeh. it sucks cause i bought it retail so i miss out on dod and hl:s. its them trying to take out the middle man. its me hating valve being stupid. but its all good cause i got the two i'm really going to play
  16. i just grabbed the retail and its hl2/s/and a quick quide sheet and thats it.
  17. ah. thats what i get for assuming that valve would make it easy like they did last time. ok. ...and yup. that was it. bleh. what a pain in the butt.
  18. i'm having trouble installing hl2..it wont let me change the path.. anyone have any ideas or anything. its weird if they wont let you pick the install path.. i have more than enough room, just not on the C drive. got a ton of free space on other drives.
