Counter-Strike has been known to have some MASSIVE competitions. That's just nuts!

p.s. Are you DeanOMac?

[arsenal]

Nope.

I used to play Quake 2 a tonne when it first came out. Got pretty good too. Never entered any competitions though.

I played CS as well, untill the cheaters took over the maps.
I have moved onto Americas Army, but my computer is tugging along at around 10-15 fps on most maps.
Doom 3 is fun, and the single player version is probably the scariest pc game from
id yet. But again, my pc is a peice o sh*t, just meets the min requirements.

I bought a notebook that hopefully will be up to snuff so I can play Doom 3 in
all its visual glory.

I got really really good at c&c renegade the most i did was joined a clan. Man i would love to make money playing video games then i can convince myself that my days not wasted.


p.s Lately the past few months i havent played much games, but on nov 9th when halo 2 comes out, i again will have no life.

Wow. What kind of GPU does this notbook have? THe ultra Qulaity in D3 pretty much wanted 512 in exclusive video ram, as well as being a pretty high clocked card.

However the high settings seem to work fine with my 9600 XT AIW.

Just since you said "all its visual glory." lol

Doom 3 is probably the most repetative game of all time, so boring.

Call of Duty: United Offence is where its at.

Notebook has a Mobility Radeon 9700 128 meg on it.
1 gig ram, and 3ghz proc.

Its more than desktop GPU (Gefore Ti 550).

So maybe, all D3's visual glory might be a stretch.. but it will be better than playing at 640x480 on low settings
