How Did You Find UKCS?

[Deox]

I found it because it had the lowest latency at 30ms

And I was satisfied from that day on...

[Woolworm]

I found it browsing around, and it's one of the few with low latency and (most importantly) without bots

I found out about UKCS when i was searching for servers on CSS and i saw UKCS and it seemed like a good map so i played it and i saw that UKCS had a group so i joned the group for free and have been playing on the server ever since (it was 2 years ago) and i also saw they had a website wich was great fun aswell, posting new topics aso. ^^

I found UKCS when looking for dod_omaha and stuff like that - UKCS DOD:S server #3

Oh it's a silly story in my case.
I used to be a hardcore CS 1.6 fan and I had a server on which I was senior admin that I played on a lot. The server died out and so did my interest in CS 1.6. That server was actually the only reason why I still played CS 1.6.
Anyway, I started playing Left4Dead more but yesterday, a bunch of friends came over and we had a mini-LAN party. One of my friends introduced me to TF2 which I had never really tried before.

Instantly fell in love with Pyro. And I wanted to be part of a nice community again like I was for CS 1.6. I started using the Server browser of Steam and UKCS was somewhere on top of the list.

And here I am. I still play lotsa L4D2 as well, but TF2 provides a change too.

Well, I had been on a loooong breake from DoD, been playing since the Alpha days, anywho, I thought i'd give it a try again, and then I found this server, DoD#3 and gave it a try, so it's been hmm 1-2 weeks now, and then I thought I go visit the website, so here I am.

I found the UKCS server when I played in Dods, it was almost 7 years ago. I play so far on the map Dod Donner, i remember that was the best beginnings. The truth is that the UKCS has the best servers;) And so it will be until the end ..

Randomly joined a game of my Friend who was playing on one of the TF2 servers. The Community was so nice and welcoming that i just continued to play on em'. Now whenever i play TF2, i only play on the UKCS servers, as they have the best settings suiting me.

I found it whilest browsing for servers


and now 4-5 years later i am still on the ukcs even today when it is my B-day

I've been on the CSS servers quite a bit (about 2-3 years now) after SJ (Sweetamber) showed me them. Those servers and the the tf2 ones always have low latency so i've never looked back. Decided to join the forums today finally.

[mightynoobtard]

i found them by looking at my friends list and also hearing about the ukcs servers being good so i had a look and have been playing for a while now

on 1.6 serverlist. =) but I've changed from the dying 1.6 to CSS a few days ago

[Ccpanther]

I filter my search for servers to no more than 40ms ping.... and quest what happen?

When looking for servers ages ago but only just decided to actually join

[Jonas|UKCS|]

My uncle bought CS:S and the first server I play on was UKCS CS:S server 1
I have play on UKCS servers since September 25, 2009.
And De_dust 2 was and is my favorite map!

[moe_guays]

I got introduced to CS:S by RLCrazyCat3 3 years ago at Uni....
He told me to join the server he was on which was UKCS #2
Been on here ever since

I've been a part of a lot of different communities over many years (CS gamer since 1999). Most communities slowly empty or die. When they do, I look for a new home.

The new home has to provide several incredibly important things for me:

1. admins that don't jump the gun and ban great players.
--- We should all learn a lot from the skilled gamers and these people are valuable and should be appreciated for the skills they have developed, usually over many years, and hundreds, if not, thousands of hours of gaming.

2. admins that do ban genuine cheaters asap.
--- The UKCS admins, like a lot of the great communities, seem to be in plentiful supply and ban at all the right times. Cheaters are the bane of CS, always have been, always will be. It's great to see skilled admins doing the right thing at the right time. Thank you admins!

3. a community that is friendly.
--- The admins take care of the guys out to cause trouble, and that leaves us with a gamer community up for a great night of gaming. That means it is time to forget about the plentiful amount of shit that life throws at us, and enjoy shooting cool people.

4. a community that is free of sexism, racism and general prejudice's.
--- No one cares. We are all gamers, who want to have a good night of 'twitch' shooting gaming in a server full of 'gamers'. One love. Peace. ETC.

5. a community that will endeavor to help new players or less skilled.
--- The UKCS servers seem to appreciate less skilled gamers and newbies. Yeah the poor sap gets a few digs and jokes, but ultimately I've seen loads of guys getting great advice from the helpful guys in the servers.

6. a community that appreciates teamwork and completing objectives.
--- When I first encountered the UKCS servers a long time ago I didn't enjoy the lack of teamwork or the lack of gamers dedicating themselves to completing the objectives. However, I am now a regular because I don't think the UKCS CSS servers are the same as they were. A lot seems to have changed. The majority of gamers DO play as a team now, and the minority of rank whores are easy to ignore. The CSS servers feel more teamwork orientated, maybe due to the quality of the community gamers that are regulars now. Rank is great, but dying for your team AND having a great score is admirable!

Over the past months the UKCS servers have become my new regular home. The community is very friendly. The cheaters get banned nice and quick. UKCS is a great place to relax and enjoy a good game with great gamers. I hope my donation will help to increase the enjoyment in some small way and hopefully I will become a regular contributor, and a more regular member of the community.

Great work TC and UKCS guys. Thank you.
