.wad, that is. I've been looking all over the internet, but can't find it. Well, I did find one.. but I think it's edited or something, for it only has the platform textures, and I am in need of the rest of the texture set, specificly those for the yellow arrows and bars as seen below on the screenie;..this is my last resort. So if anyone has that .wad, or knows which the specific textures I was talking about are in, then could you please upload it? Much appreciated in regards.

You have the game, right? It's just in the GCF.
Well if you don't, here.

Does anyone even play that anymore

I'm a noob, forgive me for my ignorance.

BUT, thanks for your kindness aswell!

Actually, there is atleast 1 server with people in it 24/7. At power hours you have about 4 full servers.. which means it is also a close community. There are some active clans even. I just hop in once in a while.. because it's fast, it's simple and just a damn fine timewaster.

I figured you planned to use the textures for something else. I never really got into the game, its like a confused version of deathmatch.

I'm surprised there's ever been anyone to play it! I never liked it, as you can guess.

It's an official Valve game, there's bound to always be someone trying it out

Richochet never did it for me either, but I still admire how unique it is.

Ricochet is AWESOME! For about half an hour, you if have a decent number of players.

Ricochet is different, and when something is different it either gets praised or hated. Ricochet is a different style of game you're used from Valve, specificly the popular games back 'n the day like HL and TFC, and so it got lost in the violence of HL and its mods. Which is quite understandable really, I never used to play Ricochet either, for it is also a small and basic game.. but still, I know for fact some people never really gave Ricochet a fair try for silly reasons like not being able to jump by yourself.

About the game being confusing, I honestly can't believe that, because it isn't a complicated game and if you're somewhat of gamer you would understand how it works in less than a few minutes. But just because you understand how it works, doesn't mean your good in it, and I think many people see those two things as one. The thing with ricochet is, while its basics are simple, it is hard to master as a whole (good strafe jumping, aiming and prediction). However, isn't that with every game? You'll just notice it more quickly with Ricochet for the game is hectic, fast and small.

I'd have to agree with that, it isn't really a game for long sessions (more than an hour), but to get some fast games going fraggin' round it's just right.

EDIT: omg, what a bunch of text. Heh, I got carried away I guess.
Tl;dr - Ricochet is awesome for what it is, if you just give it a fair chance.
