i am planning to buy halflife collectors edition pack which includes counter strike source. i have a dsl of 256kbps and i m wondering if cs:s will work good when i play online. wont it freeze while i m playing it online? plz let me know. thankx in advance.
Doubt it'll freeze, but you might get some latency issues... Play the original CS - it'll run perfect, there's more players (and persoinally i think it's better) and you won't experience cheap deaths from internet issues. I have 512kbps and it runs fine. Give it a shot and see, might do good but make sure all of your connection is dedicated to the game otherwise you'll have trouble. Either way the collectors pack is worth buying
"Either way the collectors pack is worth buying" collectors pack of half life or half life 2 ? well i can get 512kbps,not a big problem but r u sure that cs:s will work fast like lan servers on 512kbps? and whats this latency?
I don't have a great understanding of Latency, but i can tell you that if your connection is slow, or limited because your downloading in other applications etc, then the game runs absolutely shithouse and you'll experience stunted gameplay - you even appear the same way to other guys, so ina game like CS you'll get raped in seconds lol. Either HL 1 or 2 is worth getting. I'd probably opt for 2 if you haven't got that one already - you might get the original CS anyway, if thats what you're after. Have you got a decent graphics card? If you don't then i'd start with original Half Life - you can play sweet modds like Team Fortress Classic etc - good good times haha. *The higher your latency the slower the game will run
ok thankx dude for ur help. i guess i will bring hl2 and if its slow then i will upgrade my net to 512. my graphic absolutely fine ( 256mb fx 5200,1gb ram ) hl2 works good on high resolution, got the demo .
