    I enjoy playing and have CSS and orange box. I really liked orange box because the single player was nice and it had multiplayer with TF2. I liked CSS but got bored of just online play. Are there any other games out there that are comparable in funness factor? I'm going to college and need a new game to play during my free time :)


    I was about to jump on left 4 dead, but left 4 dead 2 is coming out this fall, so i skipped out on it.

    I'd wait until CoD6 Modern Warfare 2 comes out to decide on which Call of Duty to get.

    Try CS1.6. I like it better than CSS.

    BF2 is outdated but from what I heard, it's still fun. You can also try Half Life 2 Deathmatch, which is based on the source engine and I think can be gotten for free.

    You could also play GTA San Andreas Online Multiplayer, which is free if u have San Andreas.

    If college for you is anything like it was for me, you won't have much free time. :eek:

    College is the reason I had to give up Counterstrike tournament play about 5 years ago. I just reinstalled it earlier today and oh boy some crazy memories came back to me. LOL

    Good times...

    oh i didnt notice the college part. try to pick up a game with great multiplayer, im in college and i dont have more than 20-30 minutes to play when school is on, shuffling friends, school and work is hard enough as it is, gaming is even harder to fit in

    I'd say for freshman year go for CS1.6 or skip the freshman year games and move to sudoku

    I won't have a job initially. I'll have time, for sure. If left 4 dead was cheaper since left 4 dead 2 is coming out, I'd take it.
