It's fast paced, and has a steep learning curve before you become good.

I didn't get BF 2, as my system would probably barely handle it online. CS Source and BF1942 with all of the expansions have been ordered. Hopefully I made the right choice, and if I decide I like CS Source, I can always get 1.6.

CS:S and 1.6 are quite similiar, different graphics, I found the ak and m4a1 a bit different in source, but otherwise similiar games, same weapons.

Source is the one where you run faster with a knife, right? I always loved how dumb that idea is.

In both games you run faster with a knife, in 1.6 (not sure about source), you run fastest with a scout (a sniper rifle.)

Oh, I thought it was just source. Either way, that makes no sense at all. You would still be lugging around the weight of the other weapons.

Hey JaGWiRE, why does it seem like you and me always end up having a long conversation whenever we respond to each other in threads?

Seems to happen between me and a few other guys too, that's really why my post count is probably so high. Why? I have no idea, it's because we have a lot to debate and don't seem to piss eachother off?

I guess your theory does make sense, and you have been posting a lot in the past week.

Yeah, seems my bad virus and asthmas turned into a really runny nose and sore throat. Damnit, it's not like I'm going out, I've stayed in for the past like 2 weeks.

I only skimmed through the thread so far...you got CS:S already? Which package did you get?

If you had gotten the Half-Life 2 Source Premier Pack for $60, it includes CS:S, DoD:S, and a couple other games as well. And support for custom mods too - if you don't like CS:S or DoD:S you wouldn't be locked into those. I don't know if getting CS:S by itself gives you support for custom mods.

Half Life 2 is probably enough to make the pack worth it, people spend hours and hours playing and re-playing that game

. I think that CS:S is a decent choice, if his system has too much trouble playing it he can always pick up a CS 1.6 key pretty cheap on ebay probably.

I bought the one labeled Counter-Strike: Source. It comes with HL 2 Deathmatch and DoD Source along with CS:S. $28.99.

BF1942 was $14.98 with 3 expansion packs

Oh and by the way, I ended up spending nothing. My dad was going to get some books the other day, and I had exactly $43 worth of borders books and music store gift cards from my bar mitzvah. (yes, they were that old)

Be sure to look forward to a good number of free mods for Steam as well. Some of my favorites are Battlegrounds 2 (Revolutionary War..muskets and bayonets

), Team Fortress Classic, and Day of Defeat (non source).

For some reason, I've been worrying about my decision of getting BF1942. I don't really know why, though. I feel like I make a bad choice, yet I know I like the BF playing style.

You didn't make a bad choice, BF1942 is golden. Awful fun, especially on the air maps. I love the older-model air combat vs BF2, if only because BF2's version is much too fast.

Ramming other people is always cool too... full steam ahead!
