You are not alone, I feel exactly the same (even share your thoughts about MMO).

Well, that’s it. Purely due to your blanket coverage of this game (and the awesome US Dollars/Pound Sterling exchange rate) I’ve now pre-ordered The Orange Box.

I wanted Team Fortress 2 anyway but all this… I just couldn’t stand it anymore.

Consider this thanks in advance.

To be honest, I was right where arqueturus was. I was semi-proffesional quake2 player with good sponsors such as Intel and Razer (loved my free boomslang to death). We would do well in clanbase ect then Quake 3 comes along, and all of a sudden everything is differnt and I suck, and have sucked since.

I’ve tried CS and struggle to even break even in kills vs deaths, Ive tried console gaming (which is even more laughable), I have the latest CoD4 beta where I’m max level but I’m lucky if i get a single kill in the match (usually get a couple assists though :P) and a few other FPS games (QW:ET ect) I still really badly get owned hard. I think it’s long gone the time when I had even a modicum of skill …

Maybe FPS games are for the young these days as pushing 32 I can’t seem to keep up anymore :)

I do intend to be trying TF2 as I’ve pre-ordered. and It’s possibly the last FPS I will play if i can’t even get ‘semi-skilled’.

Still on the fence with this one. What servers are you lot playing on? I may jump in and pre-order.

Previous experience: Counterstrike CS and QW:ET demo.

Will Porter with just one? He still didn’t find the Zone, that must be it!

Blast, I wouldn’t have left, thus removing my hot Pyro action from near the top of the red team scoreboard, if I’d have known you were screenshotting.

I’m in the same boat you were — except I’m not exactly enamoured of single player FPSs either (plodding through Bioshock right now, just to get closure on the story).

I really like the *idea* of it more than the practice.

But Portal looks ace, people are recommending Half Life 2 to me, so it seems like Orange Box is excellent value and I really hope things click for me with TF2.
