I used to play team fortress a few years ago - but eventually stopped. So
years later, new computer, and I want to play TFC again.

I recently installed HL2 - Episode 1 - and got Steam (which made me think
about TFC) - but the question is how do I play TFC today?

I re-installed Half-Life, applied the 1.1.1.0 patch.

When I start Steam and select a TFC map - Steam dos not see my TFC and takes
me to a screen to buy TFC.

TFC won't play natively - it needs Steam.

I am in a catch 22.

Help!!!

Uninstall half-life and then start Steam. At the Store tab, at the
bottom, there's an "Activate a product on Steam..." link, click it and
then enter in your HL1 cd key. That should give you access to just
about everything HL1 related. You have to download everything.

Oh wow, that actually works. I am reinstalling Half Life as we speak and
will see if I still have the old 1337 TFC skills

Thanks :o)
