Saw it today , too dull ,it could not attract a gamer like me , how its gonna attract non-gamers. the show will end soon.


FLOP SHOW!!!

Exactly my thoughts. They couldn't have choen a more lame format.

Two teams battle it out across 6 rounds with 3 each as Terrorists and Counter Terrorists. Winning team gets to eliminate one player from the opposition as well as kick one out fromit's own.

Same maps are used each time. The onscreen action looks jerky as if it has been deliberatly slowed down. CS fans will be appalled.

what a s*itty program !!!!!!!!!!

n 2 think i had expectations that it would be something 4 the non-playing janta

btw , ashwin , it comes on star 1 , fraidays , 8:30 pm . meri maan , dont even think bout watching it

[devilhead_satish]

They sit on their comps dressed up as though they will be going to the Indo Pak border.At least thats what i saw in the ads. Way too much hype and way too much nonsense. I find the environment tighter and more intense in my favourite gaming cafe' in Mumbai

i realized its gonna be damn boring the day i saw the promos

infact when they were just showing the joystick with flames in their promos, i knew its gonna be a cr@ppy dull thing

when the promos just started i thot of getting gamesbond domain, and i guess .co.in and .in were available back then

and when i checked it out a week ago they werent, damn!

i havent seen the last nites show, but i can figure out how it wod have been

all i want to say is codnt they for GODS sake have choosed some better host

heck even a new face wod have done but choosing a damn villain seems outrageous to me

[deathvirus_me]

playing solitaire is more fun ...

[anuraag_01]

too dumb! too dumb!

okay, so cs is old and not that graphically intensive anymore. nonethless, for a show like that, using laptops makes no sense.

maybe that's the reason behind jerky fram rates of video capture.

anyway, seems like we'll have to happy with gamer tv.

bye the way, at what times is it on besides 7 in the morning??

[Sourabh]

well tuesday at 7 pm i guess

i watch it @ 2am on monday/tuesdays

dunno the exact timings they air it anytime

[ctrl_alt_del]

@anuraag: Who said they were using laptops? I could clearly make out the LCD screens and seperate i-Ball keyboards and mouse. That wasen't a laptop.

Btw, what confused me most was that which version of CS were they playing, CS 1.6 or CS:Source. The character models looked like they were from Source but then clipping and particle effects resembled those of CS 1.X.

[deathvirus_me]

i think they hired actors for that show ....

[Sourabh]

and i seriously doubt that they play competitively

coz if a team is good then mostly winning by 3-2 is not that common

i m sure there are more of these 3-2 games to c in the future

if the anchoring and their inbetween clips showing scores dun change, its obvious that the show wont air long on STARONE

is there only gonna be CS or other games too, any ideas?

[escape7]

I can play better than what these guys play on tv

Who said it sucked.
It was gr8.

OH! R u talking bout the show.
IT SUCKED
i was talking bout the game

[Ethan_Hunt]

The lamest show i have ever seen.i knew i should have stuck to gamer Tv instead.What dumb rules and whats with the dam camera postioning,bloody thing moves in Slow mo and we dont even know who's being killed and where,Just shows a cross on the Players face and thats it he's killed.......Bahhh what a stupid show and that idiot Rahul Dev with his silly accent

Plus its just one game.....and that too CS.WTF where's UT and other STuff

Ahh...
This is more boring than the windows xp installation.
I sleeped when I watched that awafull show.

[salils]

ya what a hell starting these f**king shows.
TOTALLY BAD CHOICE BY STAR ONE

more of a ' terrorist '

[Dhawal_Verma]

I did'nt liked the concept either !

[Tajinder]

I think if they use strategy games, they would be easer to understand for people at home.

[shaunak]

minor detail:
in the promos the show an old game: definately not counterstrike:

[domin8r]

The closest thing to gaming coverage on Indian TV is GamerTV, even those guys are just Mario & Nintendo groupies. Gen-e on CNBC is alright, but is too buiness specific. I wish we had TechTV, like they do in the middle east.

[shaunak]

well the show format sucked.
the host did toooo much talking,

they concentrated on extra junk rathar than the game

the preveiw map the showed, showed only the locations of c and ct. they should have shown the routes and strategies also,

Also the graphics telecasted sucked.
In fact they should have chiosen a different game to show on tv,counterstrike is aging.they should have choosen americas army 2.4 or call of duty.

plus they should have changed the rule, the looser of one round should have been asked to pick a person to take out from the winning team so the winning team played at a disadvantage of one player so that the loosing team had a chance to win atleast.

[netcracker]

I would say since this is the first time something like this has been started ,we can give them sOme credit.I think if we give them some time the show and the rules might improve.

[deceased_sentinel]

u can give them credit for starting the show

!!!BUT!!!

u have to blame them for:
1) choosing a crappy host like whatshisname
2) keeping that wierd eliminiation rule(must have thought it would spice things up),
3) gamers having to wear makeup!(its bad enough they have to sit in some set that looks like the ruined city of atlantis)

starONE should send their whole production team to GAMER.tv and see how thise guys televise tournaments(would help if they went to WCG or CPL!)

man it sucks.....only counterstrike...
i thought...it wuld rewiew something.....
some playing...of diff games...
but alas.....

[Chirag]

Bimbo show but the game is rocking

but does any one know how to enter in that show to participate?

[Dhawal_Verma]

The show is a waste of time !
