Joswin Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 :o :o I've had a break from Counter-Strike for a bit, and now i have my room sorted out and computer i decided to have a quick play. However it seems that something horrible happened, CS v1.6 with this horrible thing called 'Steam' and a download size over 300mb.... So whats the situation? Im on 56k and could play the game quite effectivly on local servers (UK) and no way in hell im download 300mb on 56k. The original CS files were at most just over 100mb, the new sizes are stupid and i feel sorry for all the other peeps on narrowband connections - Steam, what a stupid idea. :blink: Anyway, little rant over, are there many CS 1.5 holdouts? Or has 1.6 replaced the vast majority of servers now? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredde87 Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 you can still play 1.5 but they will close the won server soon... go for 1.6 they have remade the grafics and everything, steam is just a peice of sh*t but after a couple of attempts it works..

Circaflex Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 i thinkt he wonid system is gonna go down pretty soon(*cs 1.5) and steamids are the new way of being branded (cs 1.6) steam isnt too bad anymore but i think it was made from mostly broadband people sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bayrider Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 i was just like you, i hadnt played CS in almost 6-7months and i got re-addicted on 1.5 and decided to see what 1.6 was. I installed the 300mb update and have had no problems. I dunno why all these noobs have problems with Steam maybe with earlier versions it was still buggy, personally ive had no problems at all. Though, my only problem is with 1.6 its easier, hit boxes are a bit bigger and the guns dont recoil as much so all the noobs are killing u. it takes time to get adjusted.
