I have a lot of reasons to hate steam: * I couldn't sell my own games due to their eula and had my ebay account locked by valve * It isn't compatible with nvidia's hardware firewall completely and things were getting blocked * ICS causes problems for any machine hanging off the main box However, as a platform now its progressed several years its neat and tidy, pretty feature strong and if you legitimately purchase games its pretty decent. I won't buy a full retail title from steam because of the eula issues, but I have absolutely no objects to using steam for activiation of titles I buy in the shops. Small or online only games I would probably buy off of steam too. Its improved a lot of the years. |

Looks cool. I own CS:S so I might check it out. I don't download games. I used to buy them for cheap prices years after they have been published. I have never felt the urgent need to play the most modern computer games. I can wait - there's no hurry. ![]() I too hate Steam. Mostly because it is so damn slow and because of all the unnecessary updates it downloads that doesn't even affect my system. It also restarts itself after each stupid update - which I think is ridiculous. Years back it also caused me troubles connecting to servers. Another thing I don't like about it is, that it is simply too stupid to store my personalized view settings of the main window. ![]() |

'unnessecary' is quite necessary sometimes; for example, a major security update for multiplayer. Did you ever play CS the original? You know remember how patching was back then? That's something you should never, ever, ever want back! ![]() That's another plus to go with the minus points. Cheaters get their steam account locked, no more mega-dicks on multiplayer ![]() |

i am no fan of this stream thing either, it have put me off all valve game. but this new zombie game looks very interesting. hopefully someone will fix it so you can host the game yourself on lan/internet and invite 3 others and play through the game. its a co-op game so no cheaters is needed.... |

Cheaters aren't needed anywhere.... Cheaters cheat just to mess with other people, this game would be just as vulnerable as those that cheat at counter-strike etc. ![]() Seems stupid to pirate a online-only game though, a lot of hostility to steam is based around the fact you can't sell, etc. your games but someone said you can now transfer games as a gift? That true? |

There's an application that would let you play CS on a LAN without the need to connect to the steam network - I can't remember its name though. ![]() I can only laugh about VAC as I ran into cheaters on a regular basis - speed-hack wall-hack ... I am sure you know these very well. ![]() I agree that patching games in earlier CS versions was not very comfortable. But you were not forced to install them - I prefer the option of skipping updates. I always look what the update logs say and they usually contain exotic stuff that really doesn't affect me - that's why I mentioned this. |

There is a progie called "Steam Down" that you can use to install all steam games for free: http://thepiratebay.org/details.php?id=3403446

I was forced to manually update; CS wasn't backwards compatible and as soon as a patch hit, every single server used to be updated meaning if i didnt patch, i'd be playing on my own ![]() |

Goddamn buckshot buckaroos ! ![]() I'm takin' more damage from my teammates than the horde ever gets the chance do dish me. ![]() I love it when you're down but can still fire off rounds to give cover to a teammate. With the hope that he can find time to revive you. Had a game where we got overrun and only one of us was left standing, barely, crippled. Then he made the foolish mistake of walking to yours truly, attempting to patch me up no doubt. ![]() ![]() And somehow it made me laugh ![]() The rest was not amused BTW. |

the game have been cracked and you can play lan/online co-op. there is no need to pay for steam/valve at all, but i just read the pc spesifications for this game its whopping 3ghz.... its no point in downloading this for me thats for sure.... to think that the "source" that is based on counterstrike have become a bloatware over 4 years is just horrible. the graphic is pretty much the same as the counterstrike source, that was released in 2004........ this is just a bloatware mod (these you could download for free i back in the late 90's and early 2000) ![]() |

a) On some servers that will be patched. You can not play it online on NA official servers i believe, and a simple patch is going to fix the issue shortly. If you want to play real online, you will end up buying it. Its a shame if you are a cheap bastard, but i've found the long hard way that if its an online game, its usually just worthwhile buying the damn thing rather than the continuous cat and mouse of jumping to cracked servers with twindling numbers of players (and mostly arseholse) b) its specifications with a c ![]() c) its well under the specs of my pc in the uk, its not that hard to achieve as I built this quite a while back ![]() d) When i get a pc here in spain i'm certainly considering buying it, its reviewing very well
source is the engine for Half-Life 2, which counterstrike was a mod of, its not based on counterstrike, that's getting everything backwards. Source came first, as its the game engine. Source is a game engine, like the core quake engine, or the ocarina engine, etc. It isn't bloated I think you'll find, and is being quoted as one of the easiest, if not the easiest next gen game engine on the network. Why don't you download the Source SDK from Steam and have a look? The engine hasn't stayed static since 2004, there's been several core updates and it wasn't exactly ugly back then either. ![]() http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source_eng ... e_upgrades The bloatware mod and early 90s i don't know what you are talking about; what's your point here? This was indeed a mod that got bought out by valve, just like they did to couterstrike in the first place, if that's what you mean. |

The genuine requirements:-
3ghz p4 is hardly a big deal, the P4 was discontinued in August this year after 8 YEARS in production! Even the 3ghz P4 was introduced 6 years ago, and can be bought for around £50. Looking around it doesn't seem that there are any current (core2duo or better) processors available @ less than 2Ghz so pretty much any pc bought within the past 4 years or so is capable of running this, not exactly "whopping" system requirements in 2008 in my opinion. |

and source supports multiple cores in one of the updates i was talking about ![]() I think a 1.5GHz dual core is what they meant, they are just doing ebay maths ![]() |

Bought this from steam on boxing day, played loads of this... with my brother and some of his friends. Really fun game, could be better... but really, really fun; much better than shitty deathmatch based modes. Been saying for years co-op is better and this is proof... the end levels of each chapter are ace too, utter madness. Single player ai is retarded though, its fun, but your team mates are useless. My main criticism of the game is that the counter strike children are taking it rather competively; you'll always get one tool that doesn't want co-op and runs ahead, doesn't cover, runs out in front of team mates to get more kills. Not a big problem but players like that don't seem to 'get it'. Great game though, best multiplayer game i've played for a long, long, long time ![]() |

2 months on and I'm STILL playing it. (Gears of Bore 2 for instance started gathering dust ever since I finished it 6 weeks ago) Sadly, most people nowadays insist on abusing all gliches and exploits. Mic is a must imo. I'm itching for new maps though. |
