Well this is my
first review for F-RAGE. So bear with me. I’ve done loads before, though
to adapt to the style of FR, will be a lil bit tricky but aww well.
Emm Counter-strike hey? Well I think maybe, everybody has played it, got
it, or heard of it. It’s an awesome game which get’s more than 60k
people playing on it, say everyday on local CS servers. Than there are
say msn zone server’s etc. The number of people whom play the game is
staggering.
Basicly, the game has no initial story line. Just a few simple
objectives which span onto beautifully rendered though complicated maps
to learn. Learning those maps is an essential role in playing the game
well may I add. Well, there are two teams. Counter-Terrosists and the
Terrorists. Inside those teams, you get to choose different skins; also
it gives you the history of their origin. For instance, in the
Counter-terrorists, there is a skin copied off a Israeli Police officer.
As for the terrorists, you have emmm, O! A village guerilla warrior from
the Middle East. (He looks like Rambo!)
Well Anywhoo, the mission objective’s are as follows.
Counter-Terrorists:-
-| Defuse the bomb (only if the Terrorists have set one up)
-| Rescue the hostages ( You must rescue about 5 or 6
hostages, and take them back to the drop off point, where your team was
deployed from. You also get extra cash for that. I’ll go into Cash in a
min.
-| Eliminate all terrorists
Terrorists:-
-| Setup the bomb, and make sure it blows up, the area.
-| Dispose of all Counter-Terrorists
-| Un-allow them to rescue the hostages (Timer runs out)
Now onto the cash and weaponry. Now basicly, every time you do
something like kill somebody, you either get cash or have some removed.
Say if you kill a hostage, you have money taking away regardless of
which team you’re on. Also if you kill to many you get banned from that
server (Believe me, I had to learn the hard wayL)
Also if you kill your own teammate you loose money. You start off
initially with $800, then you move your way up, so say if you win the
round (+$2000) and kill 3 enemies (+600) then you’d have about $3200.
Now everybody starts off with a pistol, I can’t remember the names, but
the Terrorists I think start off with a Five seven and the CS’s start of
with a P7 (You can put a silencer on it if you want) So now you can
probably buy an SMG (sub-held-Machine Gun) Which is pretty good but not
as good as some of the rifles, although they cost about 3.5k each. Also
Snipers cost a lot. AWP costs $4500!!! But Anywhoo the CS’s Favorite
weapon is the Colt, and the Terrorists are the AK.
Anyway me personal experience on the game is only about 3 weeks long.
Although Im really good at it now. I get about 10 kills AT LEAST every 5
round. About 40% of the time, im at the top of the killing table. I
usually pick the counter-terrorists. Due to the fact they have an
awesome sniper/automatic rifle called AUG, I use it a lot, and nowadays
since I changed sides, I’ve been getting awesome kill rates. My favorite
map would have to be Aztec, and Militia. Oh yeah an De_dust which is
with De_dust2 one of the most popular maps there. Well you’ll probably
be wanting to buy it, download it (virtually impossible to get a good
serial key) re-install it, then play till your eyes gauge out. BTW for
you people who haven’t yet bought the game and don’t have a cable modem.
Counter-Strike is a modification to Half-life. Half-life is the original
game you play it on. So Buy half-life first then, download CS. The two
files that you will need to download is the CS (version 1.5) and the
Half-life Patch. Try and download em from here
http://counter-strike.net, and hopefully from here too, you can get
the half-life mod
http://planethalflife.com You will probably have to download it off
File Planet, which won’t matter if you sign up for the quality of the
download it’s worth is. AnyWHoo if you need to buy half-life go to
http://amazon.co.uk if you live in the UK or
http://amazon.com if you live in the rest of the world. BTW
half-life came out like 6-7 years ago, so it’ll be dead cheap.
Well I guess that’s it. So I better go and improve some more on my CS
skillz. Mwahahahah *fades off into the darkness.
