The true rating of Doom3, Half-Life, and Halo 2

[Ethan_Hunt]

alrightyyy....then keep me outta this hosting business as i dun wanna waste the game on a Ridiculous 64K Connection and get Splatted on the same server by u ppl.....so if someone else can do the dirty work consider me in too.....but plzz make it after 17th....i'll try and get to Sify I-way as the last time i had been there Q3Arena was a breeze playin on their Frag Shack Client.....Btw Cody i am with ya buddy as the connection lag is a major concern here.....if one set's up a sever and rest lag then the show will be a total blow out....so lets just take sometime out to think this out for a while.....Btw what were the pings that u ppl got then while connecting On the Q3 sever????

[ctrl_alt_del]

Dont know about the ping dude. mine was shown as zero for obvious reasons. Must ask prof and 'Nid.

Btw, after many such failed attempts, we decided that we would join a common Quake 3 server and we could have some fun time after that. Thats the best workaround we could devise so as to play together while not having to go through the pain of setting a server.

[icecoolz]

Well I will be getting a 128 kbps connection soon. No idea how the ping timings will be tho. I dont mind hosting the server provided my connection can hold up. Otherwise the best alternative would be to play on a common server. And we can def keep it after the 17th...no issues. Gives me sometime to practice...lol!

[Ethan_Hunt]

Done mate....then i ougta do some practice myself....btw any idea if my 64k leased line will be enough for a lagless Connection....plus how do u go about connecting if one hosts a specific server....does it reuire the Ip address entering thing???? :roll:

[icecoolz]

64k leased line should be enough. As long as you have nothing else downloading/uploading at the sametime. Connecting to a specific server means IP addressort. So whoever hosts it will need to send the IP address: port b4 hand and go for it. Lets see the feesability later on.What I will try and do is host a game and try it out with my friend and see how it goes.

[ctrl_alt_del]

Yes. The IP adderess is a must. We used to post the IP adderess just before launching the game. Then the rest of the gang would join in at the specified IP adderess.

[Ethan_Hunt]

ok now i get it.....one server hosted....one Ip Address given to all and all connect through that address....gotcha....anything more i need to know????? :roll:

Anyways i suppose Q3 has a max player limit or something.....if so then how many can there be on a single server???

[ctrl_alt_del]

I dont really remember the max limit, but I would suggest not more then four, including the one hosting the server. If the lag times are negligible, then more can join in, but I honestly doubt it.

[icecoolz]

16 is the max limit but honestly do you think 16 on a 128 Kbps connection 4 would be more honest. But if its 4 then we need to keep the map small and no map with bfg in it. No fun otherwise.

Now I am at a Reliance WebWorld outlet typing this because my Sify Broadband connection croaked three days ago and they're still "fixing it." Anybody wanna challenge me to Q3A and UT2004 or CS while I am still at WebWorld? Muhahaha! Just joking. I am actually flaming mad that this has happened to me. And I finally went and submitted the form for DataOne ADSL, the 1000 buck plan. With any luck, I can host a dedicated Q3A server or a UT2004 on one computer and then play on another and give out the IP address here. Let's see how things go. Damn you, Sify!

[anubhav_har]

DOOM III is the best.. HLII is sh**.....

[rockthegod]

Both D3 and HL2 were good in their own ways... neways its difficult 4 me to judge which 1 is the best among them.

WHAT THE HELL ARE POSTING MAN ?

HALF LIFE 2 ROCKS !!! YEAH YEAH HALO 2 ISN'T THAT FUN BUT HALF LIFE SERIES IS THE BEST FPS SERIES OUT THERE. I DON'T LIKE DOOM 3 MUCH DUE TO ITS LINEAR GAMEPLAY, BUT THERE SHOULD BE NO COMMENTS POSTED ABOUT HL2 MAN. 8)
