New Counter-Strike

[Sep 13, 2003, 4:40 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Valve has released Counter-Strike version 1.6 via the new version (story) of the Steam content delivery system. Here's the deal: "In addition to the Steam Client and Dedicated Server files released earlier this week, Valve today issued the CS 1.6 Steam Installer, which is also free of charge to existing Half-Life and Counter-Strike players. Since the release of the full version of Steam, Valve's broadband platform for the delivery and management of digital content, over 200,000 new accounts have been created." The full 379 MB Steam install along with the Counter-Strike/Half-Life update is mirrored on 3D Gamers, Counter-Strike 1.6, FilePlanet (registration required), Gamer's Hell, Games Fusion, The Patches Scrolls, and Worthplaying.

200,000 downloads and somebody earlier said only half the content servers were on-line. Somebody else says Valve should have paid attention to some of those terrible MMORPG launches. Maybe they did - guinea pig the system at half capacity to see how it copes so they'll have it right for when HL2 launches in around 2 weeks (yeah right.) They're making no money from the HL/CS crowd so it's less of a risk pissing them off than even 100,000 paying customers trying to get HL2 online. Again - they're making no money from the HL/CS crowd - but has anyone looked into their rights as consumers on this? It would be interesting to compare what's on the back of my 5 year old HL disk case with what's on offer now.
