DarkStar Communications: A Review of Counterstrike Server Options

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

Of the plethora of Counter Strike server companies in existence, DarkStar Communications has one of the most aesthetically pleasing and user-intuitive webpage designs. Outstanding designs usually indicate a prosperous and stable Counterstrike server company- but can DarkStar’s servers please the masses as much as their stunning website design?
DarkStar Communications Pricing
DarkStar has several options in pricing for both Counterstrike 1.6 and Counterstrike: Source. The pricing is competitive, although higher “tick rates” are slight more expensive. (Tick rate simply refers to the amount of information processed per second by client and server; higher tick rates demand more processing power, and cost more on average)
Pricing details for current DarkStar plans can be seen below.
Counterstrike: Source
33 Tick Rate: $0.99 Per Player Slot
66 Tick Rate: $1.25 Per Player Slot
100 Tick Rate: $1.49 Per Player Slot
Counterstrike 1.6
Standard Rate: $0.99 Per Player Slot
“True 500 FPS” Rate: $1.32 Per Player Slot (more…)
