I've never had any problem with it. I've been running steam for a couple of months, and I haven't had any major problems with it.. although i'm on broadband using a fast computer. People on slower connections with slower comps have been having real trouble with it (Apparently there are real performance issues for some people in CS1.6) ... especially people on dialup who aren't yet able to use steam offline.. I know thats put alot of people off installing steam ... according to the steam site, the fixes are coming soon, so it shouldn't be too long to wait.. But if you had a CS1.6 bash now...

I'm a fan of alot of the new features (including the rather controversial shield.. even though i don't actually use it much, and i love the cheap rifles - it feels more balanced with more affordable guns for the losing team ).. there will be plenty of opportunities to bash on CS1.6....even if HL2 does make it's 2003-holidays release date, i'm sure it won't stop us all playing CS from time to time. :) -- Ben Cottrell AKA Bench "Computer games don't affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music." - Kristian Wilson, Nintendo, Inc, 1989 Ben Cottrell proclaimed... > I agree..

Yeah, probably do. Although I've not used them much. I'm too much of an old foggie, stuck in my ways. Is it just me or is the AK just so much more...juicy now? > there will be plenty of opportunities to bash > on CS1.6....even if HL2 does make it's 2003-holidays release date, i'm > sure it won't stop us all playing CS from time to time. :) I hope so. I'm really interesting in playing a AGHL vs bear-bots team. Could prove to be the revival of CS bashes in my opinion.

Well, they've certainly had an impact on maps which were previously heavily balanced towards Ts... I think they add an extra tactical dimension (I've seen them used properly by an organised CT team to blast through the bottleneck in cs_siege... great for sending 2 or 3 dummy targets to waste a sniper's shot, and push forward while the rest of the CTs dive behind them for cover) > > even though i don't actually use it much, and i > > love the cheap rifles - it feels more balanced with more affordable guns [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > old foggie, stuck in my ways. Is it just me or is the AK just so much > more...juicy now? Maybe you've just not been on enough losing teams ;) You're not the first to say that about the AK, although I can't say it's made my aiming any better :) .. but since the M4A1 is still a bit out of losing-team budget, the FAMAS is a good cheap alternative at short to medium range (One thing that bugs me is that the guns aren't actually called those anymore.. I don't know why they changed the names in 1.6.. its mighty confusing!) > > there will be plenty of opportunities to bash > > on CS1.6....even if HL2 does make it's 2003-holidays release date, i'm > > sure it won't stop us all playing CS from time to time. :) > > I hope so.

I used a friend's copy of photoshop. But I've abandoned it already because the guy who runs the server we were using for the bash introduced me to a bit of software called "Gallery" (gallery.sf.net) which is much better if your server supports PHP.
