Virtuaalmaailmad

This week's exercise: "Tutvu mõne vabalt valitud virtuaalmaailmaga (Second Life sobib, aga soovi korral võib ka mõni muu olla) ja kirjelda ajaveebis oma kogemusi."


I personally have not dealt with Second Life virtual world, and nowadays there is not enough time to devote them some time. However, as games can also be considered as virtual world I would like to describe my experiences with a game named Counter-Strike.
"Counter-Strike" is a first-person multilayer shooter. Players have an option to join one of the teams: terrorists or counter-terrorist. Players can also join to be a spectator. The team tries to complete the mission, for example: plant a bomb or rescue hostages. The mission can also be completed by eliminating the opposite team. The round starts with both teams spawning simultaneously, usually, in different areas of the map.
As the round starts, players are allowed to buy weapons of different categories inside the buy zones, like pistols, shotguns and rifles. When the round ends, killed players are resurrected and all players  respawn at their base.
Players can communicate among themselves using a chat. They can write messages to everybody or only speak to the team. There is also a possibility to use a microphone. But the shooting should stay inside the game, inside the virtual world, but the communication should be in the real world.
