And only maybe 5-10 players in the game. Res is at 1024 by 798 or something close . Pretty bad fps compared to like Unreal Tournament 2k3. :/

I have just have a little bit better of a PC and have had framerates as low as 5 when the 20 mil. power lvls pop out. LoL, that takes beam spamming to a whole new extreme. Sometimes my models do not seem to respond very quickly either...it's like I'm lagged but I still have a rather low ping.

Well, your processor ain't so good, and that's a big part of the problem...HL is not made for such large open maps with many people flying around, it takes a lot of processor speed to do all that. Frankly with an 800MHz you're not going to do much better. I would look at the Tweaks section of the ESF Chat area (it's a sticky) to try and speed up your HL. Remember to take off all the nice graphics options under customize in HL, like high quality models and effects, etc., as much as you can stand to do without.
