but only two maps... :(
"its regular its regular"
I really enjoyed the demo when the game was released. Do people still play online?
If your going to get it do it now the DL takes for ever
Link
Also its made mostly for Versus, so try it out on versus before you judge ;).
It's kinda fun, but I wish if you stood in front of the cannon, that you'd actually get your shit fucked up when it fired -.-''
I would have rather a full campaign and not some pissy half hour thing; if you're not going to play for the entire hour or so it takes, then don't bloody play or just leave when you have to, jeez.
Though from the look of it, it's going to be hell fun in VS :D
So Counter Strike franchise is a big fat lie INMHO.
They promised more additional maps early on but did not follow through with it.
Still a decent game. I payed $40 for it on 3 computers. Thats $120. :(
