The greatest kill in FPS history.

Yes remove the stats and add accuracy to the HUD in some way. Those two changes alone would make me play it more for sure.

You get them randomly. You can also craft them, the recipes themselves are ingame.

You don't need many to be honest, depending on the class you're playing. Some of these are personal preference, but I'd get 'em all just so you can experiment:

Soldier:
- Escape Plan
- Pain Train
- Gunboats

Scout:
- Boston Basher

Medic:
- Ubersaw
- Overdose
- Kritzkrieg

Demoman:
- Pain Train

If you're playing roaming soldier or scout, you may need more for off-classing, but I'd focus on these items first.

Really nice guy and a good soldier.

7.3 soldier

rude

My experience:

Gettin Jiggy Wit It - Intermediate S12
MooseFortress 2 - Open S11
Point and Click - Open S10
Kick it Old Skool - Open S9

I've been a pocket in all seasons with some scrim experience as roamer on Point and Click. Don't have any league experience on demo. I can scrim all nights until midnight EST.

Nice person and a good scout. GL!

It varies.. I've always been taught democracy refers to the people voting on matters, while a republic is when a body decides things for the people by a vote, usually elected themselves by a vote of the people. So a democratic republic refers to a system of government where the people vote for a body that then votes on issues that govern the people. It's an indirect form of democracy that allows the people to do what they want until election time comes around, where they have a say, so not everyone has to be a politician.

Some positions are elected by popular vote, like House and Senate members. Others are voted by the Electoral College, which usually has the same outcome as the popular vote. Others are appointed by elected officials, like Supreme Court justices, which are appointed by the President. Another example is the President's cabinet (Secretary of State, Defense, etc).

Some historians wouldn't even call us a democratic republic, but just a republic. That's how one of my history teachers put it, it depends widely on your definition o the two terms. In some ways we are a democracy, such as when states hold votes for propositions, like legalizing marijuana or gay marriage, which is direct democracy, in some ways we are a republic, like when the president appoints judges (we elected a figure that appoints figures) or when senators are elected. So we are a mix of the two in many ways, that's probably why they call us a democratic republic.

As for the parties names, they aren't related, republican and democratic parties didn't coexist until the 1860s or so.

It would be interesting to see Valve's take on the RPG. I wouldn't at all mind an open world Half Life, and that doesn't automatically equate to quests, which I wouldn't like.

I think they do need to add something to the game. As great as the series is, it could attract larger crowds with some of the good elements from today's age of games, leaving out the bad.

Another interesting thing to note is that when Portal 2 was released, they said it would be the last game with single-player as its main focus... I wonder what that bodes for Half Life 3.

Why is your name saltysally1?
