I am curious to why everyone here got this game.

I bought this game, because my friend said he was going to start playing again, and therefore I could no longer use his cdkey

Didn't buy it. My brother gave me his copy of Half-Life after solving it. So I played it through, then months later started messing with TFC to test the speed of my nifty new cable modem. Been playing ever since.

Hmmm, know what would be a good topic for a poll? Ask how many of us have actually played the single-player game in Half-Life.

I "bought" it because everyone else on my floor was playing it so I did too. *shrugs*

My coffee table had one short leg and the HL box propped it up just right!

i heard it from a friend of mine who i don't see or play with very much anymore

... his name he went by was gotyou and then i started server hopping and went to different servers... then i ran into turkeyburgerville before it shut down for a while.. then i disappeared for a year or so and found avantiville then it became what it was today!!! one other server i do try and i find them pretty good friends of mine as well pfefferlandbut i haven't played there much in the pass weeks

.. i find my skills are not the greatest against some of my fellow villuns?? but i do enjoy the fun and frags when i can

oh the only other server i played in as an admin was vegastfc as you all know

!! but the ville is part of my home and it

!!! i bought the game back in about may 28th 1998 or 1999 and been playing for 3 years and i enjoy having to play with gentleman and ladies at the ville!! that how i ran into good times and learning which i still do every time and i could always use helpful tips from my fellow villuns!! hope to see u all this weekend!!! such a long explaination for a lady who loves to talk or write alot

..

That is also how i know some of the admins and regs from turkeyburgerville and when the server went down i would like to say sorry i didn't keep in touch with some of u

.. but i am glad to see some of you and happy to be playing with you again!! i don't remeber alot of the old names except for john doe maybe and helping me out when i was a newbie back then in 1999...

embarassing how i wanted to stop but john doe kept me going and i wanna thank him for that!!

Heard more than enough about it in gaming mags, bought the platinum pack(yeah, yeah, I know, free mods), played the single player of HL and Opposing Force. Then I played TFC.

Because I can kill people without going to jail. Also, the fact that they come back to life is pretty cool.

I bought it because I had played it on a LAN with some friends and loved it! It was great fun! And still is.

I have seen that boy in action... if I were you I would avoid him in the light of day as well.

P.S. Sorry for reading your note.

I had to do something with the computer Tink gave me for Christmas....Halflife was like free or pretty close to it at frys one day and the young wife brought it home.

Killer and I had a lot of fun getting those baddies ....we knew nothing about it but what was on the cover. Great fun!
We played Unreal online first though before getting on the TFC band wagon.

I had just gotten my new computer (my previous computer was quite archaic--33MHz 486 4MB RAM, 245MB HD, no CD-ROM no sound--hey I did my master's thesis with it!). I was looking for some games to keep me occupied and my brother sent me several game demos. Half-life Uplink was awsome. I bought the full version of the game and played it through. I cracked into TFC on a 28.8 modem line (best that was available until we got DSL here--isn't that a kicker). I still go back to Half-Life every now and then just for the heck of it--it is a lot of fun.

At the time I bought HL I had a P200 (pre-mmx). I was looking for any sort of new game to play that would run on it. (Boredom). A friend said he thought maybe Half-Life would, and it did, though painfully.

So of course I ended up building a newer computer. TFC didn't occur to
me till a different friend basically dragged me kicking and screaming into
a game. I was never 'Player'.
