And for interest too. So, last time, I played second Quake and I decide to add some diversity in gameplay. To try different games. Another shooters. And for a long time I want to try a racing genre.

So, I have installed at my hard drive – Counter Strike version 1.1.1. With pre installed bots. It is PodBot version 2.5. And I play something like via local network with bots. It is very interesting, how developers, turn idea of game Half Life into another game - Counter Strike. Network shooter. It is very famous game for its time. Well, saying the truth, I never played very good in this game. But with bots, I have some time to run with bots.

I remember how it built here everything. Button B – buy. It is for purchase. So how it was B 4-1. Button B and number combination. Weapons are sorted by types. Sounds are also nostalgia. Bots, by the way, are rather good – for purpose just play. They can speak with each other. And run the map here and there. Bot has some dialogue between themselves. So, they write different messages.

This map is stupid.

Or. Remove bots. They are stupid.

This player someone is cool with shooting.

And they have in result a whole complete conversations. It is, of course, add more fun in gameplay. So, I can watch them.

I remember a map Tundra. It is a small map. And, as a rule, all actions are go fast. As a rule, it is fast match. Several ways. You need to follow a character to a control point. And it is going a crossfire. There are places for sniper. And for running. And there are cover places. Interesting map. All the things are in winter there. There are some houses. There is open field. It is good compact map.

Yes, I forget to say, that bots are added from a console. Tilda. And you write command addbot. And maximum for every side it is 8 bots. And total 16 players. You and 15 bots. They run rather good, shoot to each other. So, it is ok, normal to play with them! Even more - it is cool and fun!

Some map was very close to CS Mansion. But it has another title. There are maps, that are very close to levels from half Life. Or just a big by size maps. At the big maps, match can go longer. And it is not so fun. It is cool thing, if it will be possible to add more bots in those places. So, that’s why, I try to play with small maps. To have a fast match and have fun.

Now, I remember how big fun, it was to play with brother, during my legendary Pentium 2 computer days. With new map CS Mansion. Certain this map. Say it simple. It has a house at the center of the map. And two floors. And around a house there is an open field. Bushes. There is sewerage. And map is something like it is not big. But it is so interesting. With different attiudes. Let`s take a way, like sniper can shoot sharp to windows of the house, or opposite to turn off the light in a house at the second floor, and using one of the several windows to shoot at the open space around the house.  You can run into the house with machinegun. And make a crossfire. Or opposite, tricky way to climb out of a house. And shoot everyone you see.

 Weapon is good here. So, I noticed that in every game - weapon has its own way of behavior. So, lets say, I, for example, right now, already, played a lot in Killing Floor. And, after this game, weapons in Counter Strike feel different. There is a good difference, easy to see. But, it is rather good. So, here we have pistols, automatic guns, machine gun. Grenades. Yes, there are lots of everything. And weapon has a second type of shooting. As additional mode. It can be aim, zoom of screen. Something else. So, it is rather good variations. At the moment 2024.

Graphics is norm. If to setup a good resolution. It is very well-known graphics about first half Life. I with my computer has a screen with 1280 at 900. So, select something that is close to this resolution. There is no problem. And rather good it is graphics style - very remarkable. So, I think, that it is very cool, that there are so many games with Half Life engine.

So, I installed this Counter with a special idea. To remember a moment. To play with bots. In a weekend day. At the county house for relax.

Playing little games. From time to time i like to play videogames. And write about it.
