Remember both BW and WP, preferred the former though since it had a better community. Who remembers the Special Reserve UK servers? 
Used to play HL-DM and TFC on them as well, until they dieds.

It's a shame the Gamespy client was an utter POS, that was hardly ever updated for performance. Pingtool was the king of server browsers then and practically killed it stone dead in terms of features. All Seeing Eye then arrived a few years later.

Oh man i loved those VIP maps, didnt they remove them ? Valve sure as hell sucked the fun out of CS for the competitive pr0 wannabe 12 year olds :/.
I believe so. I haven't played it since the days of 1.3 though and not sure whats happening with it these days with the source version out also.
I remember 'The All Seeing Eye'. Was a great app that never had any advertising and was free. I think they sold out to a company?Gaming was so different back then, i definitely enjoyed it more. But I don't know why I think that, i could not put my finger on it!

The only games that have came close for me of having the same feeling were CoD4 and TF2, although i quickly became "done" with them. Not sure what it is really, its possible i was more into the community *back in the day* what with IRC channels and what not (like being in your clans IRC channel, then joining another clans IRC was a few clicks away to give out grief etc
). Also having all my mates playing the same games etc, which we dont really do anymore what with RL things etc, maybe im just getting past it lol.

The best thing about All Seeing Eye was the fact you could click to join a server, if it was full ASE would simply minimize and automatically keep checking the server until there was a free slot and then connect you. That feature alone made it fantastic.
