[QUOTE="inyourface_12"]no 360 controllers on steam. yeah steam is the best way to get the game but i would reccomend going with counter ctrike source instead of the originalsenses_fail_06

1.6 is the original. also imho cs:s is much easier to get into than tf2 unlike what the other guy said. and btw senses fail rules

Get the Orange Box to start off with. It has something for everyone. And it is a good start for you if you want to get into pc shooters, and then you can buy CS Source later.

Umm no, don't waste a dime of Half Life 2 yet. Onboard video cards are really bad for high graphic games. You should buy Counter Strike, remember if you buy any of the Half Life 1 games, Blue shift, ect... you get access to all the Half Life 1 games, CS, BS, HL1, TFC ect...

My friend couldn't even play Half Life 2 on his computer he bought 2 years ago without buying the GeForce 5500 (Not a great card but he only had PCI) and even then it's not great.

Buy Counter Strike and get into that game, a lot of people play it still and I believe even more play Counter Strike then Counter-Strike Source. You can also check out some free FPS's, Wolfenstein Enemy Territory. I would even Suggest Quake 3, but you might get killed even more in that game then Counter Strike. Another great way is to find some Single player FPS to get use to everything.

So, I really have never enjoyed the pc shooters I have played because they were just too complex for me. No suprise from someone who has played console shooters his whole life. I pretty much keep my pc gaming to rpgs and rts. I have a couple of friends who play CS, and I was just wondering if it was an easy shooter to get into. Also, is steam a good way to get this game, because I saw it for $9.99 and thought I might as well try it. One more thing, if I can't seem to get used to the controls, can I use my 360 controller....thanks anyone who can help xD.

If you're going to get into PC shooters... the first thing you need to do is drop that controller and learn to use the superior keyboard/mouse. Otherwise you might as well forget about surviving long.

LOL omg the bold part actually made me bust out laughing! CS is like THE most n00b unfriendly game out there. I play CS:S and even that is taking me awhile to get competitive with (I've only been playing for about a week but i'm really learning the maps and tactics and the newest thing i'm working with is the awp. now i can own with it :D). but that aside, it's still a great, addictive, competitive game that i think you should get.

Get the Orange Box or, if you got the money, the package with ALL the halflife related games.

If you dont enjoy the Orange Box, then I think the FPS genre isnt for you.

You might not be able to run the games on the orange box. Anyway since your just getting into PC Fps games you should start with the classics:

HalfLife Anthology

Quake 3

Unreal Tournament

Call of Duty (if you can run it)

There are a lot of people still playing those games. Then when you get the jist of those you can upgrade your PC and play some of the new games.

Cause you don't want to miss Fear, Call of Duty 2, Doom 3, Painkiller, half life 2 and Orange box, etc...

cs 1.6 was my first real online fps.

You can start with America's Army, a nice and free online shooter and is pretty easy toodayaccus007

You need to be move slow in AA though, if you run in the open
