To that end, we could post a list of requirements for the LAN party so that participants could prepare in advance.
Here's the first draft: 1. Buy and install a copy of HalfLife. It's cheap. 2. Make sure you have a working network card with TCP/IP configured. (okay, I realize all should have this already, but just for completeness.) 3. Make sure HL multiplayer works by connecting to a HL server on the Internet. 4. Download HL:Countersrike (http://www.counter-strike.net/), it's free. Seems to require the installation of Steam, to stop cheating smacktards. --- Tim Fournet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm really partial to realism-based mods like > CounterStrike.
