Anyone still play Counter Strike?
 

I'm looking into starting to play this again. Haven't played in at least 2 or 3 years. Is it still good? Any major changes?

If your going to play, play counter strike: source. The new graphics are awesome.

to play source, do you have to preorder half life 2, or can you just download it and play it?

In order to play cs:source now you need to get either the bronze, silver, or gold packages which will include hl2 pre-load. http://www.steampowered.com/

It's well worth it. Source offers a lot of neat features that brings CS to a new life.

Besides, any PC fps gamer worth their salt would want Half-Life 2 anyway.

not able to play HL2 or Source because of my graphics card, but I still play regular Counter Strike. It's still fun.

current computer probably can't handle HL2
what's the deal with that steam thing?

An online alternative to buying Valve games...and their system for multiplayer games. Check it out: www.steamloaded.com

Download the client, and input your cd-keys from Half-Life, and you'll be able to download/play the latest versions of the games you already own.

played for a while today. didn't do too bad considering it's been 3 or 4 years
but is it all kids now? I mentioned I hadn't played in years and this other player asked if I was alive when grunge was big. He was shocked to be playing with someone who grew up then. WTF? Grunge was like 1991-94 or 95, not exactly ancient times.
then they started using the voice chat. man their voices were high pitched, like prepubescent

I had heard that there isn't multiplayer in HL2.

Counterstrike: Source *is* the multiplayer for HL2.
