OK finally managed to persuade one of my mates from school to get on BB so we're sorted there.

Looking for a good 1v1 FPS with the limitations that his PC is valve driven. XP, Celeron 2.4, 256 Mb, not sure about his graphics card but probably commensurate with the above.

My machine's no speed demon but it's OK. A64 3400, 2Gb RAM and 256 Mb graphics. We're both on a 2Mb pipe.

Any ideas ? I have an extensive 'library' of all FPS.

OK thx, I like the idea of the setting of CS although never played it, failing that we'll try Q3.

Is Soldier of Fortune II - Double Helix playable as 1v1, that game was awesome, few years old now.

Isn't BF2 a very recent game, I have it here but haven't installed it yet. It looks the muts but doubt it would run on his 8086

Xiphias, had a look at a friend playing UT and it didn't really look my bag, it seemed way too fast and consisted of him jumping about all the time to avoid being hit.

Still to get CS on his machine, can you play that 1v1 ?

Think we're looking for something a bit more tactical, I've played OFP and all the add-ons to death and loved it but never online, it's not installed here so can't remember if you can or not. We're looking for 1v1 or squad v squad deathmatches not co-op play.

We had a great blast on Links 2003 but could only get it working online the once, bugger. No idea why now.
