Computers and Technology Inside

Counter strike is the most successful game in the world. Many of the new multiplayer, three dimensional, shooting games today are modeled from its success. The game offers a first person game experience. The solid graphics and the variety of maps are the highlights of this game.

Game Play

You can play as a terrorist or the counter force. The terrorists will plant the bomb at a particular site and the role of the counter force is to defuse the bomb – at a given time limit. If the bomb is not defused at the given time, it will explode, and victory is for the terrorist force. On the other hand, if you get to kill them all. Then you will win.

The game is fast paced so you will need skills to defeat people on LAN. Yes, traditionally counter-strike is played through LAN, and it can be run through a console. You can also play on your own and create bots as max as 1000. Bots can also be assigned with certain weapons and skill levels.

Counter Strike Online

Yes, you can play it not only with Local Area Network connection, but also on the cloud. You just need to create a counter strike dedicated server for your friends and other people to meet up. Counter strike runs on Steam, so there is a need to install one. You will also need to download the Amxmod metamod plug-in in order to play the game. You can download it from their website – just search amxmod to find one.

Here are some of the requirements:

• Computer must be in Windows (MS DOS)
• 130 MHz processor (recommended)
• 14 MB of RAM
• 400 MB disk space
• 8 MB Video Card

Of course, you will need some basic networking stuff to make this work. You will need a router, and do port warding. Your host computer must have the needed requirements to host the game. You will also need to modify maps and other stuff on your server – for people to enjoy it. But set aside all the small matters, Steam, the plug-in, a router, and a stable internet connection is the backbone of creating a game server on steam.

How is it different from Playing LAN?

Yes, you can play on LAN. However, an online game gives you mobility and your friends can use their laptops in playing. This is also good when you have an unlimited internet connection at home. Also, it provides opportunities to go head-to-head with different players worldwide. You will also get to host and recreate your own game, customize maps, and other stuff.

Where to Get Counter Strike Free Servers

Back in the 1980′s buying and selling real estate was all the rage. Every TV channel carried late night infomercials about the ease of making money by using other people’s money to buy homes at a low price and then resell them quickly for profit. And they always reminded you that it’s about location, location, location.

Well, in the new millennium, there’s no faster way of making money than by buying and selling VRE – virtual real estate – domain names. And best of all, you don’t have to worry about having to make huge investments, worrying about mortgage payments until you sell your property, or even being concerned with having to deal with fixer uppers.

An average domain name can be purchased for less than ten dollars and be resold for several hundred dollars within a few days. Each and every day people are buying and selling domain names through domain name registries, auction houses and brokerages just like stock and bonds.

But unlike investing in Wall Street and the Dow Jones, the average investor can earn huge multiples on the sale of a single domain. In fact, it’s not unusual to see a single domain that was purchased for $6.95 one day to sell for $2,000.00 or more the next day.

In 2007, industry experts have stated that the domain name industry is approaching a $2 billion market. Even more staggering is that these experts claim the industry value will grow to over $4 billion by the year 2010!

Domain name speculation is becoming more than a hobby for some. Canadian entrepreneur and domain name expert, Kevin Ham, began collecting domain names several years ago and has since grown his portfolio of 300,000 domain names into a $300 million empire. Earning an average of $70 million every month, Ham has become the master of the game.

“Domain Flipping” has become a tremendously popular way of earning money. Everyday people are buying and selling domain names they think will have strong commercial appeal. Sometimes domains have just the right sound, sometimes they have consistent traffic, and others have great content and products. The key is to find a good name and move on it… before someone else does.

So just like real estate was the boon of the 1980′s, it’s likely that smart investors will diversify their investment portfolios to include things such as domain names in the year’s ahead.
