All this talk makes me want it. Do you know if it's a steam only release?

Is it still a laggy, buggy piece of shit?
Considering how well Counterstrike runs, the aforementioned fact of the release bugs the hell out of me.

Haven't tried, but I surmise so. This may be due to my average CS:S ping being 30 whereas my average Ship ping is 120. |

It's a bit laggy - but not so much as to break gameplay. Everyone moves slow enough that aiming is not hard. |

They fixed a bunch of bugs with their latest patch, but they introduced one very annoying one that causes player's names to be replaced with "ERRORNAME" in server messages. I'd give it a little time.
And yeah, I think it might be a Steam-only release.

Sounds interesting. I should load steam up and finish HL2 though.

Not to derail, but you should also both play Episode 1.

As an aside, I loaded TFC back up and got some time in on a few maps. Ah, the fun of hiding that damn sniper dot, headshotting HW users, and blasting conc-jumping medics out of the air.  Maybe tomarrow I'll try being a spy again... |

It's gotten better. Could you always perform the default action on something by left-clicking it? If so, I'm a doofus, because I've been using the radial menus this whole time and getting very frustrated with them. If not, HUGE improvement. HUGE.

That's been in since launch, but the icon is delayed sometimes. I'm of mixed opinions on the new patches due to the significantly decreased witness timer. Far too much CYA clustering. Of course, that does make the guns a lot more valuable, provided your aim is good. |

In the beta version there was no timer at all - if someone who's not your target sees you with a weapon, off to the brig you go. It could be frustrating sometimes, but overall I prefer having to take more care with the killing. Having to inconspicuously stalk your victim for five minutes is half the fun. |
