GHU1967 Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 I've been trying to get a game of Counter Strike going online, except I don't know how to! I registered with Steam, but I don't seem to be able to connect to any games. My PC is pretty new & is a decent spec, well above the recommended minimum & I'm running on a broadband connection. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaha Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 I played CS for a good while, play verrry rarely now though. You might need to update the games before you can play. Can you run the game, but not get into servers or what..? Are you trying to play Counter-Strike or Counter-Strike:Source? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHU1967 Posted March 24, 2005 Author Share Posted March 24, 2005 After much frustration, I finally got online. What was happening was that I registered with Steam, registered my game (platinum pack), then tried to find a server. It then appeared to freeze with the screen pixelating (proper word?). Eventually this cleared & I was able to join a game on a Wireplay server. Superb fun, but I haven't been playing long, so the controls need to be sharpened up. Cheers.

donaldo Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 How does it compare with MTW? 440146[/snapback] To be honest I'm not sure. I'd never played MTW prior to purchasing RTW. If you read some of the stuff on the total war message boards people seem to think that the battle engine has been dumbed down a bit. The graphics are supposed to be better. I have recently picked up a copy of MTW as well though, just haven't got round to installing it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Thompson Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 How does it compare with MTW? 440146[/snapback] Not sure about the battle side, but the strategy part looks a lot more complex. They seem to have done away with the Risk-style "regions" and focused on towns. From the little Ive played it, it seems a lot less user friendly. The graphics in the battle scene look very good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akritoi Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 I'm worried at the fact they have apparently dumbed-down the battle commands. As far as I was concerned one of the greatest and unique like features of the Total War series was the fact that it combined realistic politics and economics with some excellent battles. The commands played a vital part. The morale. The strengths and weaknesses of both formations and troops. Terrain. Everything was pivotal to your success or demise. I may go into Game and see if it is supported on my system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
