^^ yea, BSNL comes in two versions - either good or crappy. Probability of both is 50-50.

Airtel only comes in one version - average as far as Delhi is concerned. ;) MTNL 1mbps UL for 999 ftw.

I have CS:S...I wonder why Yindan retards only play on crappy maps where you have to just kill and do nothing else. :/

and with TF2 now f2p, saare n00b yindans toot pade. Playing as Spy has become 2ez.

I have not played CS:S but at 1.6 the best servers only play 4 maps which are officialy used in CS tournaments .

What map do you want to play except Dust2 , Inferno , Nuke , Train . ?

AWP India is a practice map for Snipers . Even I hate it but they will play as it does improve the response times .

Re: Steam related discussions

They don't play anything else. tbh, no one plays CS:S in India. You only find 5-6 people online in Indian servers at most. Waste of my $5.

Rather play CS 1.6 . Not as detailed as Source but a good game. The problem with CS:S is that the game is very heavy on resources so people prefer playing 1.6 !

well, the thing is...I extensively played Quake 3 + mods. CS is like playing at snail's pace for me.

CS:S isn't that heavy. My meagre nVidia 9400M handles it at 90 fps.

The only reason I cannot buy Fallout 3 and new vegas is because of region locking thing. Thanks publishers for giving an excuse to go for the alternative.

Correction Faun. I believe guys like us in India are under a big misconception that Indian debit cards can work on Steam or many other international websites. Trust me cos I have been through this situation.

1. If your debit card says "Visa Electron" or "Electronic Use only", then 99% your card won't work on international websites including Steam. These cards can be although used on international merchant stores. If your debit card doesn't have these words imprinted, then you are good to go.
(Let me know if you are aware of any Indian bank whose Visa electron cards have worked on Steam.)

2. You are only left with either a credit card from any India bank or a virtual credit card. VCC is just like a online CC & doesn't exists physically. If you have an account in HDFC bank or Kotak, then you can easily create a virtual credit card & shop on Steam.

Re: Steam related discussions

Virtual Credit card is the best option for Debit card users.

Go to *www.entropay.com/

Register an account and link your debit card to it. They'll provide you with a virtual credit card which you can use to purchase games on steam. You'll need to add funds to the VCC from your Debit card (they charge you a small service fee , a few cents for this). I used them until HDFC bank issued me a credit card. It works 100% .

NEWS FOR THE UNAWARE

Steam now lets you trade unused gifts and TF2 items between users. To enable Steam Trade Beta , go to Steam->Settings and in the Beta Participation dropdown , select Steam Trade Beta.

Steam will now restart and update. After this, right-click on any friend in your list and click "Invite to Trade". Now you two can start sharing Gifts and TF2 items.

Note : This only works if your friend has Steam Trade beta installed

They are asking for all my card details. How can I be sure they won't just randomly empty my account?

Because it's a trusted site, and they have several thousand customers who vouch for it? It's just like any other VCC service. Even HDFC Bank has a VCC service for it's Savings bank customers.

If you need any reassurance, I've been with Entropay for close to 9 months now. They've never charged me anything other than for transferring funds from my Debit card to the VCC (as I mentioned in the previous post).

Re: Steam related discussions

Thanks a lot. If this works, you might have solved a big problem for me. BTW, how much commission do they charge per dollar?

They charge 4.95% of the amount you transfer from your debit card to your Entropay VCC. That's not really much , e.g Rs.10 for every Rs.200/- transferred
