Re: I had doubts

Wow, all these people who say they love Steam could not have been around back in the WON days. Mods and gameplay was better, and way less crashes or issues.

Steam is simply a distribution network to make money, unlike the older ways of simply hosting games for fun gameplay.

It's a delivery mechanism yes, the point is to make money, but steam itself was in fact free, and I have been around since the WON days. I still prefer the way it is now.

Although there were some problems during the switch, I also prefer Steam over WON.

amen to WON IDs. Counter-Strike 1.5 was so much better than the current 1.6 version. the graphics were alot cleaner, there was no mass flooding of the servers by these script kiddies that crash the servers now, and the biggest thing, is that 1.5 had the game tutorial.

if your new to CS now, the only way to learn to play is just go in and get the shit kicked out of you until you learn what not to do. to me, that would be very frustrating.
