I'm not really much of a gamer, and I haven't even heard of a bunch of those games, but some people I was talking with said that the half life games aren't so much like games, but more of a social thing... what do you think?

Counter Strike Source is excellent. i play it alot and have a clan and server. Its dead frustrating to get the hang of, but once you do its a great game. If you do play look out for my clam member Miniature Combat Slammin, he's a legend!!!

Oh if you have the time and have Half Life two check out Hidden Source. Was made by a bunch of guys at my Uni and rocks. Can't remeber link off the top of my head bu ya can google it!

I used to play Half-Life quite a bit, in particular the mods Team Fortress Classic and Couter-Strike (yes, the original, not source). After a while though, it got kind of repetitive since most of the servers very seldomly varied their maps. 2fort and de_dust (respectively) went from great to just plain boring.

I guess that's the case with deathmatch styled games though. You load up, kill or be killed and then respawn to do it all over again - and that's where the fun is supposed to lie. Thinking about it though, there isn't anything that challenging, saved for improving reflexes and mouse clicking accuracy.

To many extent, I agree with you midnight. Such games have become more of a social thing. But why meet and play online when so much more can be achieved by doing something with friends in real life?

I only only game that I play from steam is cs. Other then that, I don't play any of their games. They're boring and steam is a stupid concept.

I don't know... I kind of liked Steam.

Getting updates was faster and more automatic. You just logged on and everything was pretty much done for you. I also thought that it was a neat feature how you could log into your Steam account on any computer and play your games (or re-download them). There was no fuss to carry around CDs and protecting your cd-keys.

I think there were some issues with VAC and Steam's whole "product authorization" thing in general but I believe they got those sorted out pretty quickly.

Steam has to be my single favorite system for game distribution. It's just so easy to buy a game, download it, and be playing within the next 5 minutes or so (differs depending on the game and the updates).

On my steam I have:
Half-Life
Half-Life: Blue Shift
Counter-Strike
Condition Zero
Condition Zero: Deleted Scenes
Opposing Force
Team Fortress
Day of Defeat
Codename Gordon (Never play it)

And the various demos.

CS is by far my favorite, but maybe that's just because my compy can't handle the source engine yet.
