    It coudn't find any servers and steam said all the original CS servers had no-one on. I thought it odd.

    I did google to no avail.

    you can't play cs 1.5 (i.e. the old one) anymore, the master server has been switched off

    and codename gordon is a free side-scrolling platformer version of HL2

    Codename Gordon is a side scrolling game based on HL. And yes, a helluva lot of people still play 1.6.

    you have to play the game via steam - your old cs icons etc on your system are useless. click on steam, click on counter strike. infact, uninstall your existing CS.

    It isn't shown in my games.

    uninstall my existing CS. Then install it again? Will do.

    If you have CS (either retail or via a HL install) on your computer uninstall it... Then open up steam and in 'your games list' you should see CS greyed out - right click - install - it will donwload it.

    Unhappy

    I uninstalled it, and re-installed it (in the process my CD {yes CD only so it needed replacing} drive died ). Still nothing. This is what CS and steam show. My firewall is allowing it & steam.

    the latter screenshot is from cd 1.5, which is discontinued - no master server, no game, useless app, remove it from your system.

    the first one shows that you only have hl2 linked to your steam account. click 'browse games', then 'register a product i already own'. give it your retail CS, or retail HL cd key, and it'll add a _LOT_ more games to the list (including CS 1.6), which you can then double click to download, install, and play

    Right you dont use ANY CD to install CS or HL... uninstall anything that isnt steam!

    Reason your list isnt showing anything is because you havnt registered your copy of HL / CS retail to steam... go to steam, buy games, click on HL (if you have a HL cd code) or CS (if you have a CS retail keycode) and put your code it... steam will then download what you own.

    edit: ^^^ what he said - im not a home so dont have steam installed to give screenies

    Erm no simply not true

    You can play CS 1.5 whenever you like, just install the original half life from your CD, install the mod version and use a server browser such as HLSW or All Seeing Eye to find your servers...

    WON is still up and running (thank god) So if you dont want to play CSS but still want to play CS you arent restricted to the horribly shoddy 1.6 version

    Same goes for previous versions, there are still servers about for 1.0, 1.1 and i've even seen a beta 6 server there.

    so basically TFC and CS 1.5 are still playable without that STEAM(ing pile of.... )

    how come I can go right now and play some CS 1.5 if i want too then, how come i was playing earlier?

    Maybe won is just down and the servers still work then? thats a possibility

    Either way the superior versions of CS still work...
