    Global Agenda!

    I'm sure it has a bit of that too, but the battles aren't nearly as massive. It boils down to smaller skirmish fights of like 10v10 and such, something more akin to Counter-Strike. Anyway i decided to pull the trigger and pick up a copy via steam, so if anyone IS picking it up and interested in playing, just lemme know.

    Global Agenda!

    Hello Gamers Coalition!!! Long time no chat. Seriously, i haven't spent any time with you guys in forever, for what its worth - I miss you all dearly! (those that I remember, anyway!) So anyway, I came here tonight hoping to see at least a few people excited for an upcoming MMO/FPS Hybrid called Global Agenda.. but i can't find anything so i figured i'd make a post. The visual style and gameplay mechanics seem to be a pretty tight hybrid of Tribes 1 and Team Fortress 2, in that you have a pretty rough set of classes, and there are jetpacks and generally neat looking sci-fi weapons. Apparently there are vehicles and RPG/Leveling up elements similar to that of CoD4 where you would unlock new pieces of equipment to take with you. Is anyone here interested? Anyone planning on buying? Steam is doing a 4-pack and i'd love to jump on board with some old friends from GC. Oh, and if my words aren't enough to inspire you, the website has tons of goodies to check out. http://www.globalagendagame.com
  3. Just give me a famas and he'll go down Np.
  4. A Few Indie/VG Music Guitarists i know: Some rock out guitar solos: I know a few of these guys, some i just really enjoy listening too, im sure they won't mind a little music pimping. Check it out. its hot stuff. (hey, its free Music here, ENJOY it.)

  5. Figured it out, yes. The monitor is widescreen and has a native resolution of 1680x1050. My old Resolution for CS was 1600x1200. This is what was causing the crash I looked up startup paramaters and put in a custom height and width and it booted up NP Btw, this is probably the most beautiful monitor i've ever seen. CS looks like a DREAM. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16824116059
  6. Yea.. so i upgraded to a 22 inch Viewsonic Widescreen - its absolutely gorgeous, however.. when i try to load up CS it immediately crashes to the desktop with no errors or anything, the game just doesnt even pop up with the title screen, im not sure what exactly is causing the problem - every other game loads no problem. (Steam games and non-steam games alike) .. It seems that this one specifically is giving me trouble. Unfortunately its my favorite game - can anyone out there help me solve this issue? The monitor is: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16824116060
  7. Hey GCers, this is k-wix, i havent been around the community much lately, but i wanted to let you all know that i've been recruited into WoW, im not technically playing on any major GC servers. But me and my close group of friends are all on Moon Guard which is an RP server, and i know some people arent diggin' that and thats cool, but i wanted to let the GC WoW community to know that they are welcome to come join us. The server is Brand new so the population is pretty low right now Which is both good and bad.. but if your bored and want to make an alt, come say hi to the k-wix. He misses you. a Lot *cries a little*
  8. Z3Ro you were in the exact same boat i was, and i decided to save up and overhaul the system entirely. Socket A is dying. and by dying i mean dead AGP is also dying, not dead yet, but expensive as heck to upgrade to compete with PCI-E So 2 pieces of your motherboard (the two most critical to gaming, no less) are dying. 1 is pretty much gone, Socket A. Do some research and see what kinda chipset you wanna go with, something that can CHANGE to dual-core is important i think for the future of gaming (when stuff like Crytek comes out) Then, make sure its PCI-E compatible. you can usually find a good Mobo for under 100$, usually around 70 if you look hard. Socket T (LGA 775) is pretty popular now, and a good budget PC with good expandibility would be the Socket 939 series, which I am currently running, lets find a good 939 board for you http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16813188007 Theres a solid choice, its cheap.. has dual PCI-Express compatibility (IS PCI-E in the first place) and is .. well, cheap! its really well priced. Also has standard 400 DDR Ram, i know DDR2 is out and a bit better, but you can get some pretty fast DDR Ram, when you have the cash, its pretty pricey for like 2 gigs i think your lookin at 150 Easy, but yea.. its got all the features you want. Heres another, slightly more popular model that isnt Too pricey: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16813131569 Now you need a good Processor. Id say a solid 'budget' choice would be: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16819103528 So your still way under your price mark, about 150 if you went with the big board, 120 if you went with the lesser But you need a new graphics card, your new board doesnt take AGP. In my opinion the video card is the heart of the box, so lets get you something nice, but a great price, i'd say: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814130017 This baby will run everything, Counter-Strike at full blast at a solid 50-60FPS and is just only over 100$ 120 after rebate. So now we're at 280, WAY over the price mark, or like 250 if you went with the cheaper board. So yea, that would be a hot budget setup right there Plus you can expand to Dual-core, PCI-E, and stuff, th system will last you a good 3-6 years if you upgrade it steadily. But dont just go and buy everything because i said so, i know a lot about CPUs and GPUs and how to put a solid system together, but others probably know a lot more, do some research and make your own decisions G/L and enjoy the $$
  9. The game requires Shader Model 3.0 to run, the 5950 XT is only 2.0. yes, i had to pop in my spare 6600 GS, worked pretty good after that, still quite laggy though!
  10. So yea, i just had a small 4-person lan setup to play the new Rainbow Six Vegas game. I think its pretty hot, LOVE the system, brilliant game design, can be as fun as CS for me at times... but its buggy as heck, one of my bros can't even run it with a 5950 XT Card, and the ones that could run it ran it laggy at best. I got a nice box, best out of my friends and i could only run it at 1024x768 with everything on medium-to-low On the upside it has some of the most tactical elements ever seen in a game, im especially fond of sneaking around and using cover, then popping around a corner quick and nailing someone. Playing single-player is decently entertaining, but co-op over lan brought about some extremely solid moments. You guys try it yet?
  11. as far as video games go, the megaman series has my favorite music, 2 and 3 especially. Movies? Jurassic Park easily comes to mind. Excellent music. Tv? humm...donno off the top of my head.
  12. One of the things i like the most about it is its use of colors, you use some of the ugliest colors known to man, you got like Mango Orange, Pea Green, even worse Pea Green, and like.. Torquise. But the colors really compliment each other well and it looks solid. thats why i like it so.
  13. Okay guys, a lot of people asking if they can 'still get one' Of course you can im still happy to do these, they usually dont take long.. but some of the more complicated ones can get very hard and sometimes i get lazy/give up so you gotta be patient and realize i may not be able to do all the requests. Brew yours is lookin pretty rough right now. I dont want to release anything that looks bad or ugly So uh.. yea Maverick and Slaughter - i whipped yours up tonight, Enjoy
  14. Scopeless also has me, and i don't mean to brag, but thats the main reason people come to Scopeless. Your information is thusly skewed. all hope is not lost, however, i will try to come to the other servers. . . .
  15. More famases on the map then ever before.. im giddy with excitement.
  16. well, about it changing every round, i think thats a positive thing - and 90% of the gun changes wont be over 100$, so as i said earlier, it really isn't that much. There are a few larger ones. About the deagle, i have a major beef with it being pretty much the best pistol in the game, so i think the price should go up. I think it will balance the game out more. Hardly anyone uses the 228 or the other 'non-default' pistols because the deagle trumps them all. I believe the price change is warrented.
  17. I think its okay. You guys are making it out like its over 1000$ of a difference, but in most cases its 100$ or less, and thats not very much money. This is going to encourage more unique approaches to gunplay - especially in the competative bracket. all the teams that 'know how to shoot an m4' arent going to be as powerful. a SMART team can use any gun in the game to win. The worst change on the list is to the m4, and thats 290$. almost a 10% change. Definitely going to alter gameplay and make people rethink, but i dont think its so out of control that no one will buy it. Of course i could just be biased because all of my favorite weapons happen to be the ones that no one else buys, but that doesnt mean my argument holds any less water
  18. Question about the new radar, I like it - but when i die the camera changes to something different and it zooms in. I know its possible to zoom it out.. by hitting C and the navigating the menu and clicking 'Zoom Out' about 12 times.. But this is cumbersome and takes too long, is there a way to set it up so it auto-keeps your set zoom out distance? or maybe a way to bind it to a key?
  19. Maybe you took the wrong sized file? a lot of photo cds or newer digital cameras shrink the picture to make a Thumbnail. The filesize is only 37.2 KB (38092 bytes). Thats as big as your getting it unless you manually double the size of every pixel effectively cutting the quality in half.
  20. So yea, one of the coordinators for the videos at wildaid.org contacted me about doing a track for one of their upcoming movies and i decided i would try for them. Ethnic is not my style at all, im more of a trance guy, but i've been putting some new samples at work and this is where im at so far, its almost finished. They also have a Violinist lined up to record some stuff for me - he's been playing for over 13 years so im excited to see what he can do! he hasn't recorded anything yet so this is all My work so far. I wanted everyone here to check out the track if they are into that vibe and tell me if im hitting my mark or if its way off? Also normally i do 'remixes' and things of that nature, this is one of the first completely original works of my own that i've released. If anyone digs lemme know linkie: http://kwix.shackspace.com/Tigers7.mp3
  21. Sorry bro. I did this in a hurry so its kinda rushed, i will come back and fix it up later. But lemme know what you think thus far?
  22. Done! Okay, uh.. Brew.. your requests are hard to do because they are kinda specific and require a lot of 'real picture' editing, its a bit harder to make it realistic (or even cohesive) but ill see what i can do.
  23. I dont see why there is all the whining - this seriously does not change the gameplay in the slightest. No ones even seen how its going to work precisely. My guess... Instead of Calling a location over the radio, you might be able to hover your cursor over them instead, but I highly doubt it will be as efficient as a mic-call, thats basically instant.. where anything dependant on where you aim takes time. plus if your not STARING at them you can't use this method.. basically it'll be good for emergency situations like if you get rushed. if your a GOOD player, you know where the Opposing rush is anyway because you've got your eye on the radar from the get-go, watching where players die and deducting that the T's are in spot A because your team died at spot B and A connects to B. So in short, the gameplay is pretty much going to be exactly the same with a few random blips of where the enemy is based on your teams position. It'll be nice for everyone who plays without a mic.
