Playing with real life friends is the best, but most of the time, playing with online friends are just as good...

it's fun.

playing online doesn't have to be competitive. for example when i play RO with friends, it'll be chatting and going for Player vs Player or sometimes go on a group adventure to tough places and such.

while i play C&C:G, C&C:RA2, HW series and Age of Mythology - we tend to play cooperation that vs. you know, the computers can be quite smart (cheat) and tough in harder modes and this makes cooperation really challenging.

Well, too bad I can't play with you, Viper. Because my ping on US servers are at least 300ms, virtually impossible to play...

And I'm not really that good. I only started playing CS. I don't even know how to defuse bomb at first!

Well.. RO is fine for some people.. but I don't want to be a round cute thing

and there's a monthly sub too.

Which games allow you to do that?

No one's going to go through the trouble to create a whole new dynamic world as a single-player game (Morrowind, maybe) or a free game (Guild Wars, maybe).

Was a free-form RPG. Did a lot of stuff there. Anyway my point is that today's online games limit the imagination. There seems to be nothing to do but endlessly level.

True enough. Ug, Morrowind. Brown, brown, brown and more brown. And people who say silly things when you get too close to them.

no worries. everyone has his first time. i'm just surprised you only tried CS recently. so have you found the gun of your choice yet?

btw which one did you try? the old CS(based on HL graphic) or the new one (Condition Zero)?

probably we can arrange an ARP CS session.
