Valve Releases Counter-Strike 1.6 Installer

Posted by simoniker on from the all-steamed-up dept.

Thanks to Blue's News for pointing out that Valve has released the Counter-Strike 1.6 installer for Steam, the broadband delivery platform for which "over 200,000 new accounts have been created" since its official launch on Friday. The 379mb install, helpful for those who can't get swift downloads from Steam itself, is available from Gamer's Hell, Worthplaying, and FilePlanet (reg. required).

    Valve doesn't seem to know what they're doing at all with steam. It's a headache for me so I don't think I'm gonna use it til I have to. I'll stick to CS 1.5 because it's just funner (and easier to get in a game) than CS 1.6. I guess I'll have to live without those stupid riot shields but oh well, life goes on.

    Don't complain about software if all you're going to do is continually spam the network even though you know there's not enough bandwidth.

    Don't whinge about problems with said software until said spammers stop doing their spamming thing.

    Why do you all think that Valve would spend thousands of dollars providing content servers for a free game? A free game which has some of the most immature and ungrateful players the online community has yet seen?
