Well hi. My name's Rich and I'm a home business owner. I've been playing online for 6 years now and I'm currently a member of IRON which is a multi-platform gaming community. Feel free to drop by at www.iron-hq.com, don't bother unless you're 18+.

I gave Half-Life and Counterstrike a shot back in the day but I quickly left for a few reasons.

1. The community was too tarnished by bad mouthed kids
2. The games code was so loose and there were too many cheats out there
3. People seemed to "get-off" on team killing or being silly
4. Considering the younger crowd, teamplay was impossible

I've been playing Call of Duty and Need for Speed Underground for the PC.

I chose Call of Duty because it doesn't appeal as much to kids 15 and under. In that game you'll never catch people trash talking, "leet-speaking", or commiting the other annoyances of the 1st Generation Half-Life community.

I've decided to give HL2 a chance and perhaps my gaming group will start a squad in here too if all goes well. Thank God for STEAM. It's like a babysitter for online gaming.

Welcome to the forums

1. The community was too tarnished by bad mouthed kids
2. The games code was so loose and there were too many cheats out there
3. People seemed to "get-off" on team killing or being silly
4. Considering the younger crowd, teamplay was impossible

Unfortuntly pretty much every game has immature people playing that don't care for the gameplay or the other players and just go out of their way to disrupt it as much as possible. I'm sure HL2 will be a very popular game so will have a larger quanity of these sort of people. Luckily our community will have dedicated servers to play on with admins to sort them out providing you with a good game You'll also know most of the people on there so it will be a lot easier to play as a team.

Now, make yourself at home!

Ahoy!

Unfortunately, I'm not like Chris_D. Your signature offends me. I find it hateful and threatening.
