Half Life!!!

I have a kickbutt server I go to with great pings and great players. I had a thread on the old icrontic but wanted to start a new one and see if anyone was interested in playing. It is a Team-play server so if we played, we'd be on the same team.

I'm not sure if there are enough HL players but I would also like to get a East VS West style competition going on as there is with UT.

C'mon folks, you're not scared are ya?

How do you hope to ever find out if you don't post an IP?

I don't want to give away all my secrets without getting some confirmations first (it's like that secluded fishing spot where you don't wanna tell just anyone).

So you interested?

I'm always interested in some Half-Life. Haven't played the regular old game in years... So... PM me the IP or something, oh secretive one.

That sucks Riddick, you could try anyways.

Khaos - I am using [ICR]TBonZ, I really should change it to [S-M]TBonZ. Anyways, TBonZ it is. I should still be able to play at 4PM.

BTW - Have you went into the server to check your ping yet?

I ping OK there, but the choke is awful... Barely playable. I've got almost 100 choke on that server and the netgraph is mostly red. I still had fun though, gg.

Edit:

Well, it seems like if I type "retry" after each map change, my choke normalizes to 0 from close to 100. Then it plays real smooth, as it should. I've got to hand it to myself, I still kick ass when it isn't lagging like crazy.

100 choke is terrible; can't type, can't change weapons, can barely walk in a straight line, and good luck shooting anybody. Hopefully my theory about retrying after map changes will prove to be true and not just a fluke, that way I can keep playing there.

Yeah I hope that is true too Khaos, it was great playing with a fellow short-median, you kick butt!

If the command doesn't work, I have another server in mind to try.

BTW - The next time I'm on, I'll read [S-M]TBonZ.

We need more people to come out, dust off that old copy of HL and have some fun!

BUMP.

Come on guys, we need some more players in there!

Come on in with [S-M] in front of your name, and if you know what's good for you, you'll join the hgrunt team (Just set your skin to hgrunt in the multiplayer options).

At least I think that's the team TBonZ wants to use. You were gman before... Let's pick a team and stick with it. I like hgrunt, myself, because it blends in pretty well (More easily camouflaged).

Another Bump...

Khaos - I usually move to another team if it's lob-sided but yes hgrunt is great for blending in on a lot of maps currently run on that server.

I know most of you are concentrating on UT and BF but this HL server is a lot of fun and we would love some more short-medians to represent the site.

Heyo [S-M]TBonZ, I can literally play this instant for a little bit. I've been busy lately, getting some spring cleaning done. In typical king kretin fashion, I'm a month late and ten dollars short, but it's spring cleaning none-the-less. I'll see if you're in the server.

Hi NS, this is Half Life with Team Play, I have been frequenting this server for about a year now and to be honest, if not for this particular server I probably wouldn't be still playing the game. The admin runs a tight, no bull server, he rotates the maps on a monthly basis with many modifications and secrets, the players are largely cool, it's fast, furious and I have a blast every time.

May have to consider (re)install Half-Life again then. May even play it all the way though on single player. Still havnt finished postal 2 yet though, or NWN =/

Sounds good, if you ever do get around to loading HL back up, the server is located at 66.208.102.5:27015.

BTW - Here is a nice little trick in order to start in HDK instantly, just change the path to your own HL directory.

BONUS - PRO-LEVEL TRICKS - ADD SERVER TO TARGET
This is a rare trick that few people know. You can actually hard code in the server you want to join and make it even faster to join. Remember the -console above, in that example the target line looked like this

C:\SIERRA\Half-Life\hl.exe -console

you can add the following to connect to a server directly

say you want to connect to *H.D.K*clan server

C:\SIERRA\Half-Life\hl.exe -console +connect 66.208.102.5

here is how to add the port

C:\SIERRA\Half-Life\hl.exe -console +connect 66.208.102.5:27015<----Create a shortcut
