Preload CS:Source early!

[Varsity]

Sent it off? :s

yea, to recieve the free copy of HL2 you had to do the thing on the website, the it asks you to, print it out, send off the voucher, the bit on your G Card box with serial number n stuff of the card.

The channel is in chaos. :wacko:

Makes me dizzy just trying to make out what theyre saying...and nobody seems to know how read in there. :rofl:

[alex666]

Would be fun counting all the STFU ups people have said last 48 hours :p

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

Finally, they disabled chat in the channel.

Oh right. You're going to get a boxed copy of the game, but you aren't going to get CSS or a subscription to the Premier Pack like the people who decided to enter the key into Steam instead.

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

LOL! No CS:S for you! :p

It's not to late To buy CZ, remember. ;)

nah thats giving in to valve, there ######... make us wait for ages then force people to buy cz to get css just because it was a flop

[xodlike]

When this beta is over, will CS:S be freely available?

Do you get it by purchasing HL2?

I believe i have heard somewhere that CS:Source is supposed to be HL2?s multiplaye part. Unsure though

And to answer your question: NO it is not free

Anyone who knows for sure??

[Max Veteran]

I will definately be buying a LEGIT HL2, so hopefully it will come bundled with CS:Source.

[Varsity]

CSS will ship with HL2, but not be the multiplayer. It will also be avaliable seperately.

Or, from an optimistic view, they limited the beta (it's only a beta! :)) to the 1/8th size and arguably more mature CZ community. IMO, they should have limited it further to those who bought CZ before the beta announcement.

Guys it doesnt matter if you download it....only cyber cafes can play because the only accounts that have access are cyber accounts with new cd keys pre registered at valves end.

so you have to have a cyber cafe login for steam....lucky for me I run a cyber cafe, I got 10 login's in the post yesterday! :)

[ziper]

They are not in the "Buy cz get css beta" to get a mature respons. They want to get as much money as possible from ppls that (maybe) don't even like cz. Instead they should have a "Pre-order CSS or Half-Life2 and get to play CSS: Beta". That would be more fair.

Its fake maddoxx kept uploading random dll files which didnt work.

Hes just said in irc that hes given up trying to make it work.

Fakers **** me off

[nugg3t]

well MaddoxX is off the case.

[Dotdot]

It would of been nice if they had pre-loaded to Ati bundle Customers, I,ll guess that altho it helped ship a few cards its also not nearly as huge a group as will be hitting the servers once the dload is public.

But heck I,ll wait im stil playing Doom III on veteran, so for now i,ll wait and on the 18th i,ll smile knowing that my 9600xt 256mb is not only powering my sys but has given me hl2 / cs:s :D

[Rob2687]

people are posting so many dif links and theyre all contain dif file sizes and stuff :/

[Glowstick]

My HL2 is preordered since August 4th, 2003. Do you think they'd even consider inviting these preorders?

Not if it's preordered by a group unasociated with Valve. To be fair they'd have to include everyone, and that would be impossible with the sheer number of different stores people preordered from.

[FunkyMike]

seems like there is another team on it working on a lan crack

[Varsity]

Offline will be cracked. But who cares about that?

[alex666]

Just playin' around with the source engine is an experience itself :p
