Ok, to all CS players... I just found out that the new 1.6 Patch is out... and that you can only run it off the Steam Program...

Some of you may know that the Steam program has been available for about 2 years now, and during that entire time people could play the 1.6 Beta.

Well now... Steam has taken over... say goodbye to VAC servers... NO MORE!! Steam is the "shizzat" from now on!

So i suggest u all go and DL it right now! A good site i found that isnt that busy is: http://www.3ddownloads.com/Action/Steam/SteamInstall_CS.exe#

Check it out!!! New things include CT Tachtical Sheild.. and well... thats all i know lol!

GO GO GO!

yeah, cs is really old, and a lot of people still play, but that goes for a lot of other games too, like starcraft, etc

nothings improved

I have been using steam for a few months now and it was the beta version

Now its a final release of 1.6 and there are tons of bugs when using steam...I haven' t even been able to get on to play (get a stupid error msg saying my internet connection is messed)

go to www.steampowered.com and check out the forums, filled with info about bugs etc...

you'll be lucky if you can even get on to play

Yep, 4 years and counting for me. Havnt played for a few months, been waiting for 1.6 to come out. Hopefully they fixed the billion glitchs it had in testing. Anyways, thanks for the link, cant wait to play it.

counterstrike rulz...i've been playing since beta 1. i downloaded 1.6 but havent tried it...yeah steam looks scary and stupid

why we keep playing it...cause its an awesome game. graphics do not always make a game, its the gameplay.

CS is the shiznit! But I think 1.6 has brought the game downhill. Seeing as you can't shoot through the shield period, it kinda makes the game gay now. But there is supposed to be a patch coming out soon, that will fix alot of the bugs.

been playing since beta 4, but 1.6 is just more of the same. The new shield is cool, but I think that will get old pretty quick.

CS is certainly not dead. There's still over 20 thousand servers running. I'll try out doom3 or whatever when it comes out tho. :)

uhh.. ok... im at school right now... i didnt have time to post this morning cause with my 5 minutes before i had to go to school cause I was TRYING to play on Steam...

Well, the name Steam is ok.. but it would be better if it was called "A STEAMING PILE OF SHIT" cause thats basically all it is....

The Cons:
1) The grafics are.... "Improved" hahaha ok... they look like shit
2) Joining a game is hard, and once ur in (from my minimal experience) they all seem to run with very high lag.
3) U need to Download all the maps over again...
4) the Buddy messaging system sucks.. lol... i cant work it

The pros:
1) The guns are a little different... but still awsome
2) It illuminates the items u can buy and darkens then ones u cant.
3) The pictures of the diffrent types of CT's and T's look 100X better.

Basically... i wish it was the same as it used to be... I like it the way it was.... I wish they made all the changes on the normal servers.
