I haven't played since 2.7 either. I'm going to start playing again, after all that's happened.

I mean, if some people will actually take it this far, FA must be worth it, right?

The only reason I stopped playing was because of the monotony, but that's broken now since I don't play anymore. Instead of OTF, coding for WAW, and playing some OFP all day, I'm going to drop OFP and start playing FA again.

Not that I'm aware of, though I seem to recall it was a rumored feature of 2.6 that never materialized. The next best thing was the marinebot.

Technically yes. ChristianOelund did a Quake I mod under the firearms name that basically added some guns with an impressive amount of customisability, and you could play the 'stock' Q1 maps with them. I believe it had MP support.

Nothing like HL FA though.

OmegaForte®
August 3rd, 2005, 06:08 PM
I started years ago. 2.1 I believe..I'm not too sure. First time I played, I got the desert eagle, and the spamstick. I did okay, came fresh from CS, expected FA to be somewhat simular, but with less hackers that thought their stuff was better than what we put out at the RageX forums..First match I scored even on was the second one, when I found the Uzi+spamstick. Oh, that brings back memories.

In a broader sense I would say anyone who started in 2.6 or after, as they have only played the watered down spray and pray versions of firearms.

2.3-2.4, but I haven't played since 2.7

Yeah, about the same with me. I discovered the joy of 2.4 right at its release and played the hell out of it all through 2.5. After that it just lost something for me, but FA will always have a place in my gaming heart. I've at least tried every version since 2.65 (praying for the 2.4ness to return)

*rofl yes mg23 I believe I was on a 33.6 at the time with a PCI Voodoo3? Good times.

M4A1
August 5th, 2005, 04:48 PM
Uh...somehow I doubt that seeing as that's significantly below the min specs for HL. Hell I doubt even quake could run on that.

It was barely below the min specs at the time and it ran it alright. I think I got around 10 fps in half-life. I was the guy that when I joined a server, my ping was always around 1000. So, place your doubt somewhere else because I know what computer I played HL on at the time.

KillerChiaPet
August 5th, 2005, 05:06 PM
The first time I saw FA was RC1.0 was at my friend's house at the beginning of my 8th grade year. We played it once but became hooked on TFC instead.

But I actually started playing FA when we picked it up again in 2.3 and I'd been playing it ever since. So thats like 6 years or something. :eek:

-e- Anna reminded me: I am also of the Nov. 2001 crowd from the FA forums.

August 6th, 2005, 06:45 PM
Not real sure of the official timeline-life sucked monkey balls when I started playing.

Loaded it initially from a CS retail cd-what version was that? I seem to remember having to DL 2.3 to update things; tried it & thought it was cool, life went back to sucking. Played again-had to update to 2.4; played that for a while, life sucked more; DL'd 2.5 just in time for 2.6 to come out, been playing steady since. The whole 2.3-2.5 timeframe is kind of a blur.

Names...started as Buck, then Buck20 (long story), Bobo.the.Happy.Clown, Bobo.the.Angry.Clown, Bobo.the.Suicidal.Clown, Bobo-Clown.of.Vengence, 1pissedKlown, 1 4ngryKl@Wn, then life finally calmed down enough to become just Bobo*the*Clown.

And yes, I've played too fucking long to suck as bad as I do. Deal with it.

I personally like to think I've been some part of Firearms since I saw the accouncement for it in Planet Half-Life, back before any mods were released. I clicked the website, and it was all white. It had a list of weapons that were going to be included and said they will have single player, and I thought to myself, "Wow this is going to be sweet". That was the same day I saw the advertisement for Counter-Strike, another up and coming mod that was being worked on. Nothing would be released for a little while after.

I followed the mod but didn't actually play it extensively until 2.4. I remember 2.5 a lot better though.

I have been a member of the FA forums community since January 2002.

August 9th, 2005, 08:26 AM
The first version of FA I played was 2.5, the only thing I remember was being raped by the aug everywhere I went. Somehow I guess I had fun regardless, because I kept playing until 2.6 came out, and then I begin to remember more of the game. I started with the ak-47 in 2.6, then moved to the ak-74 in 2.65, in 2.7-2.8 I used the mp5, in 2.9 I used the m4, and in 3.0 I used the resurrected ak-74. Some good times spent playing. Even though PoP was the only clan I've been in, I'm glad.

Col. Psycho
October 25th, 2005, 06:40 PM
Mid 2.3, where i was known as "Psycho" - the ORIGINAL Psycho.

then some other posers appeared, so in early 2.4 days i took the alias of:

"Col. Psycho, the man who was lost out with his platoon out in the mountains of northern angola in the mid 80's, the only survivor, and deemed psychologically unstable, due to seeing atrocoties commited to his men in the name of information gaining. Its said that he cracked and divulged secrets but most know he never did. Apparently apart of an SAS / SEAL exchange program, he came from the British Army as an SAS commander, and was inserted into angola as an american platoon commander... for "learning" purposes.

After the incident, he dropped off the grid, dissappeared. He took the name Col. Psycho and became a gun-for-hire."

meh, that was my original story when i still thought it was cool. :P

played all of 2.3 under nickname "CKD" stood for umm Crush Kill and Destroy like that video game Crash Kill and Destroy I think if I remember, then I played a good bit of 2.4, quit and went back to CS, then came back towards the end of 2.5 and played until mid 2.8. Then after we (LoS) lost in the semi's to EF on river, I quit and have played it maybe 15 times since. I liked 3.0, but it was WAY to late to save it so I figured, why play it and get used to it since FA is pretty dead as is, so I just uninstalled it.

Haven't really played for any length of time for years, but probably didn't play at all for about a year or two, then awhile back I convinced spartan to play one map with me, so I re-installed and blew ass at it.

2.4

I started on a lan with my new housemates from university. When one of the comp science guys installed our student house network.

We formed a house clan (the 6 of us): 401[sfs] -thats the 401 smithdown road, liverpool, Special forces service (or Student f*cking sadists if u prefer :P)

We played 6 glorious games - all of which we lost, but had great times playing a clan called the Belgian Paras, who became and still are (to those of us left), great friends.

I moved onto clan GUBM | in 2.6 (german u-boat men - dont ask why lol)

And finally into TSC by 2.65

I had a brief but fun time with NTK at the end.

I played in 2 Eufals, 2 FALs, a couple of cups and missed out on the nations cup (reserve for that fated Germany game :( ), and overall had a great time.

I miss the old days of shitloads of full servers to play on and shit loads of players playing - for all its faults - 2.5 for life

Sorry for the info but seeing all the old guys here made me want to remember

I started in 2.1, stopped playing during 2.7 due to technical problems (I couldn't run Half-Life for some reason. Never resolved it.) Otherwise I might have kept playing.

I remember tp_dish, ps_nightstalkers, ps_street, and my all time favorite, ps_dangerzone. In fact, I have my entire pre-steam HL directory zipped on my current computer, I bet a lot of the older maps are still in there.

Oh, and I have the Monty Python intermission music on loop in WinAmp.

First day of 1.0. Whenever that was. I played tp_boat and messed around with the barret and the vollmer and then a little later I remember there was a huge server with the old buggy tp_soviet and I was like the only one who knew how to conquer the vents on BOTH sides :D Then dropped off during the middle of the 2.x era, as everything got progressively nerfed and randomized without really improving the balance and at the same time introducing all the frustration of CS and more unexcitingly linear ps maps came along. Sigh.

Recently I took some time thinking about it and decided that the semi-realism of most modern FPS games introduces an element of gambling; too many random factors and you aren't able to evaluate your skill so well anymore - so you can't progress, and neither can *most* other people; but since skill remains, in a more nebulous form, some people always beat the odds. Hence, frustration. If there were better ways to aid my learning the "new style" FA, I probably wouldn't have quit.

But then, I really got into DDR and stuff around then too. So maybe not.

2.4 way back in the day. Haven't played in probably nine months, once I got CS:S there was really no reason to. I did play 3.0 a bit though, but those were my final days.

I was in -[DW]- and -}uP{-. Good times, I loved FA.

I started during 2.5, joined [MM] fairly soon afterwards and pubbed pretty heavily until 3.0. I joined (=NBT=) briefly, rejoined [MM] when it resurrected and then finally became a semi-active irl member for my first and only FAL season. I still jump on once in a while when the mood strikes me and anyone I what to play with is on-line, but not much.

I began playing i 1.x something when a friend brought it over to a lan at my place, but i didnt play online a lot until 2.3. I fondly remember crouching with vollmer and being called a noob :P
My first clan was WC(WildCards) who later merged with Genesia and formed -:]GWC[:-
When GWC began to die during fa 2.6 i joined DFM, who later merged with DFC and became DFA.


BTW, what was that map called where you where supposed to take a briefcase from a safe and bring it to a machine that cause global warming or something similar. There where two routes between the two spawns one was over a river with moving ice, and the other over a yard with a truck.

Started playing with the release of 2.4. I had 2.3 but didn't get to play much with that version before 2.4 came out. I used the name wireofbarbs and was a member of the A-Team clan. We also played a lot of TFC at the time. I loved it when you could go rambo with the m60. Later that was stopped and imho was not a good move. Now the m60 is a joke and I don't bother with it too much anymore. Yes, I was an aug whore, damn good gun. Now I use the Ak 47 or 74 most of the time. Sometimes I use the mp5. When things really get sticky I go for the grenade launcher.
I tried forming a clan <STTF> and hosting my own FA server back at the begining of 2005 but found intrest waning for the game and abandoned the effort.
I found a CD in my backups from 2000 with the fa2.4 exe file.
I remember playing on the same servers as Pornstar, joseywales, psycho, and others posting here. Really do miss the fun. There used to be someone hosting an fa 2.5 server on steam but I think that went away. There are still a couple of servers running 3.0 on steam and I go by there when I get tired of DoD and DoD:S.
Maybe I will host a 2.4 or 2.5 server just for kicks!
