*I play ONS 90% of the time. Some 500-600 server comes up for ONS in UT2k4,
many has 32 player capabilities.
Over 20 players I get lot of lags.

*Once we had a survey on this n.g. about the age of the players, youngest
were 21 and the oldest 61 , I'm 47.
<<With guns like goo-goo gun, which shoots neon green slime balls? >>
*That gun (Bio-gun) not practical in ONS, all though it's there on some of
the ONS maps. Used it a lot in DM or CTF maps, lot of fun. Some players are
very good using it, can be a surprise weapon, when nothing else is
available.
<<And the teams in UT2k4 are usually neon red and blue. >>
*That's the basic color, you can download and pick any skin you like. It may
don't show up on the server, unless you uploaded.
<<I'm a

*I don't own Xbox, waist of money, that's for kids. My PC can handle most
games.
Plus, one has to buy the same game twice, I think.

*I don't pick monsters for my character, but I've seen younger players like
them.
Each character has different advantages. My character prefrence has SPEED.
Both of these games have a scifi theme, which at

😉
*As I said, only seen a few minuts DEMO video of HALO2, wasn't impressed.
I don't have lot of time to play games, so I just stick to one, UT2k4.
