I just found out that apparently if I have HL1 (which I do), I can enter the key, and download HL:Source, without buying anything. I can't wait to get home and try it.

The version I got from work today for 41$ also includes CS Source.Originally posted by mmp121
I guess in short, does the store version include or allow you to play CS:Source ?
Say, does anyone know how to increase the cache or how to precache the levels ? I'm getting certain lags in the game when scenes change.Comment

Let us know how it goes, as I have my HL1 key floating around. I won't be home for another 3-4 hours. If that's true then I will probably get the bronze tonight from steam. As i only wanted HL:Source from the silver package.Originally posted by Wombat

WTF is "Source"?
The retail package I got includes HL2 and CS:Source. What's HL:Source got that regular HL2 doesn't?Core2 Duo E7500 2.93, Asus P5Q Pro Turbo, 4gig 1066 DDR2, 1gig Asus ENGTS250, SB X-Fi Gamer ,WD Caviar Black 1tb, Plextor PX-880SA, Dual Samsung 2494sComment

SOURCE is the graphics/physics engine behind Half-Life 2 Hence the name Counter-Strike:Source aka CS:Source.
HL:Source is just regular HL using the source engine (sort of a nostalgia thing).Go Bunny GO!

Source is the name of the new engine, used in HL2. So CS:Source is CS in the new engine. HL:Source should be HL1, done in the new engine.Gigabyte P35-DS3L with a Q6600, 2GB Kingston HyperX (after *3* bad pairs of Crucial Ballistix 1066), Galaxy 8800GT 512MB, SB X-Fi, some drives, and a Dell 2005fpw.

I was worried this "steam" crappola was gonna suck.
And it does.
I just want to play the single player game, and it won't let me cause their servers are too slammed to authenticate or activate or WTF ever it's trying to do on-line.
I knew it was gonna be stupid to require an internet connection for a single player game.

Cool game, very cool.
I played for about four hours last night and got ~ through to the end of the airboat level.
I am experiencing random stuttering which causes the audio/video to freeze for a second every now and then... not much of a problem, but I think it is related to the audio as it happens more often when people talk.
I wonder if it is related to the new catalyst drivers i've installed as I haven't had a problem with CS:S.The Welsh support two teams when it comes to rugby. Wales of course, and anyone else playing England

although it could be because I am running it at 1024x768 with everything set to the max, and 2x aa.

I agree. Even now it's taking forever for Steam to unlock the game files. What a bunch of BS. I just want to test the game on my P750, on the new TV. It's a crappy software setup.Originally posted by Kruzin

Took less than 10 minutes to feed it the 5 CD's. Add another 20 - 45 minutes to ever have a chance to play
