Plan of Attack ..HL2 what do you think??servers

[Rabbitrunner51]

Sometime yesterday I was checking around on the HL 2 site and noticed the new Beta that was offered ( probably for awhile now) of "Plan Of Attack".
This is a similar game to CS Source in makeup and uses objective based team play and a someone different interface ( menus..ect.. ) than the former ( CS Source),and from only playing it for a short time yesterday..I really liked what I saw and played.This could be equally as attractive a vehicle for MP as CS Source given that more servers would be open down the road and maybe a few tweaks here and there..but it is not too bad at all so far.

getting ready to check it out again as soon as I get off here....

Also, on a similar subject not related to HL2..., I also dl'ed the new add on mod extension to UT 2004 called SAS and it is a fps teamplay combat MP game in the lines of the above ( CS Source ) that uses the unreal engine. It looked promising also.

Check these out if you have not..and let me know what your thoughts are. :eek: ;)

I created my own server and fiddled around with it, it looks like it has promise...the game tactics seem different enough from CS to make it a unique style of play...naturally, since it is only a Beta, there is still room for improvement.

Actually, there is quite a bit of room for improvement, but like most qwould agree it is a beta,which is nothing more than a try out vehicle.

I found the weapons to be a bit speratic and inaccurate ( sloppy ),but again that will improve along with the rest.

The map idea is great and useful. basicly a lesser clone copy of CSS but with the objective points as playing field.

MJC... last night I had another one of those rare GOOD nights playing CSS, again trying to find servers I know and recognize,but got on this one site ,that like some others around use bots and humans. I really seem to like this mix the best. Some gripe that bots are something to fear,but actually the top scores were more humans than bots generally.
I was in the top three on this server ( 20-25 players or so ) , all night long and shouldn't let this out but I played for eight hours,because I was having a real good time.
its like i was saying many times, some nights I get disgusted and give up playing for whatever reasons, and other nights i find a server i like and personally I just go from tjhe bottom to the top very quickly and have no problem with kills. I found i defused the bomb a few times also, which I usually never get the chance to.

The pings are a concern with alot I gather,but it depends upon where you live and where you connect up to.

Cannot express enough how the graphics and the little other things that are incorporated ( physics and lighting details,ect..) are just the best period. Extrermely impressive. Either those people at Vavle are geniuses or very close.

Other than morphs.... this is by far the best online FPS around. ;)
