i liked halflife in general
ya know whats really ticked me off lately? the fact that no matter how much i update, tweak, and research attempting to get a decent balance between detail, resolution, and FPS (which = gameplay) i can never do it with UT2003. And if i ever come close, my system randomly gets slower and screws me again (seriously, it just get slower and slower the longer i have it, last time i buy VAIO). Thats half the reason i never do much around here anymore. I cant get my fps to a decent area (more than 30) without losing good resolution and detail to the point where Quake 3 is prettier than UT2003. And then the next map made by Joe Mapper With The Best Comp on the Market comes out and i gotta tweak to get 10 fps! Rediculous! I have never and will never have to tweak any game made before 2002, and this one comes along and i cant even tell whats going on because of the texture detail setting! SHEESH! Damn it Atari, if Valve can make Half-Life 2 pretty on a pentium 3, the least you could do is make yours runable on a 1.5 GH p4!!! BASTARDS!!!
Anyway the point to that rant is that i think the innane requirments of the game we're all playing has somthing to do with the forums slowing down, along with the forum crash, along with death of SPoD.
and F*** atari.
