Apolyton CounterStrike Club

[Yog-Sothoth]

This is a sample of servers that give me a ping of less than 175 (don't know if they are any good):

Games World's public Cstrike:
194.93.157.11:27015, 27020, 27025, 27030

CS World 1 [DK]
130.228.2.38:27015

-=ISIS=-
195.158.131.221:27017, 27018

Game Warriors Arena
195.158.131.221:27017, 27018

Counter-Strike 1.3 Server
168.143.176.190:27015

If anyone would bother they could try them out to, to check what kind of ping response they would get.

Paiktis22: I tried one of the servers you posted, got a ping around 300. I'm used to a ping around 10-40, so needless to say I didn't do very well

[General Ludd]

Here are the pings I got from those servers, they are all more or less within an acceptable range, the last one being especially good.

50

[Yog-Sothoth]

I tried the Counter-Strike 1.3 Server (the one you got a ping of 50 on) and OMFG did it suck!. There were about 8-10 people on the server, I suspect 3-4 of them was cheating. 2 of them openly admitted they cheated...

We will probably have to search a while to find a server which is playable, with regards to both ping and cheating.

I get so pissed of by these cheating idiots ruining the game

[DarthVeda]

Bah CS hasn't been good since 6.3b

[Bereta_Eder]

I just have a crappy modem so I have resigned myself to the fact that I'll have a pathetic ping... (I have no plans of getting adsl soon maybe just isdn)

Yog thank you very much for your research.

So we can check and play in one of those servers Saturday? One that is mostly empty?

[Zopperoni]

My ping is sh*t anyway.

I got 200-300 on those servers Yog tested.

The only really weird thing is that I ping higher on a Dutch server than on a German one

[Bereta_Eder]

I thiunk we should resign ourselves from getting a server with a great ping for everybody. There's no use.

For example in the Greek servers I get 150 ping with my crappy 56K but Yog with cable (I pressume) got 300.

And I also get high pings in most other servers, except an Irish one


I propose we just focus and pick one of the servers Yog provided us and we set our Apolyton CounterStrike meeting #1 for this Saturday.

Better still have a few alternative servers (not just one) in case it is crowded.

[Faboba]

Add me to your gamespy list!

My name used on gamespy is a nobrainer.

Look to the left.

[Bereta_Eder]

Fine.

How about 18:00 Saturday Central European Time? (most of Europe) (17:00 Greenwich-19:00 Greek)

We first meet in Irc as Yog suggested and then we hit the servers.

Is that ok?

(we can worry about a better ping after we have our first meeting)

CS has a huge player base, and it's impossible to find a specific player, so you'll have to pick a server and time to play if you want to meet up with anyone specific.

This sometimes helps: www.gametiger.net

[Bereta_Eder]

Can someone please point out an irc address we can meet and say specifically how to get there (which server to chose in irc i.e. dalnet or euronet etc) (because I don't know how).

[Zopperoni]

I've never even used IRC before...

[C0ckney]

I'll be there

[General Ludd]

Might as well use the Apolyton chat.

[C0ckney]

I have my own room on Planetarion IRC.

Zopper Download it www.mirc.com

To get to it simply have irc.planetarion.com as your server, then join channel #avengers-atk (I'll be Lordlag).
