Eliminator10 Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I'm considering getting counter strike for the pc. But before I do so, I have a few questions: -Is there a difference between Counter Strike & Counter Strike Source? -Which is the game that everyone plays on? -Is Counter Strike Source a standalone game or expansion pack? -I've heard a lot about the program steam - will it allow me to directly download the game to my computer, or does it ship the game to me when I purchase it? -What is the connection between counter strike and half life? -With my goal being to play online, what should I buy? Thanks! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incubus45 Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Ok Counterstrike source is a revamped version of the original cs better graphics bigger hitboxes and stuff id reccomnd gettign this over the original because it is a little easier. more people play source. yes steam will let you download the game and will let you pay for the game via credit card. counterstrike started out as a mod to half life and a lot of people played it and then it took off from there thats why youll see game bundles (im not sure if they do it anymore) of half life 2 and cs source. well since your new id suggest source.

xXru1n3dXx Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Source - Better physics engine, graphics, gameplay - but thats my opinion (gameplay), so can't be taken as fact. Download steam for free here: Using the Steam client you can pay for CS. However I got source by getting Half Life 2 (CS:S came with it) from the shops. I'll recommend source as it's easier to play (and has the zombie mod ^^). RS Stats | BF2 Stats | ARSCV | LastFM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necrobean Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 I'm considering getting counter strike for the pc. But before I do so, I have a few questions: -Is there a difference between Counter Strike & Counter Strike Source? Cs 1.6 doesn't have much scripting and tweakign in, CS:S does (Eg. cl_crosshairscale -Which is the game that everyone plays on?Cs 1.6 -Is Counter Strike Source a standalone game or expansion pack?Standalone -I've heard a lot about the program steam - will it allow me to directly download the game to my computer, or does it ship the game to me when I purchase it? You can just play it on your computer when you download -What is the connection between counter strike and half life? Valve -With my goal being to play online, what should I buy? Cs 1.6, CS:S for fun. Thanks! :D Come play CS 1.6 with me :D ;> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatbill Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Might as well answer aswell. Yer just better graphics, works better so on, all thats been said. Most i should think play on CSS. Standalone, good deal is to get halflife 2 and loads of other HL games and CSS off Amazon for about ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã10. Steam downloads it to you, but you still can buy most the games off other retailers i should think. steam is pretty useless though so prepared to be annoyed.

I'd say your best bet is to buy a package with HL2/whatever other games come with it, including Source. I haven't checked prices on amazon as stated above, but they'd deffinitely seem like the best choice to buy from.

l33thunt3r Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Well I play 1.6 competatively, don't know about you. Get Source if you want to play for fun, and 1.6 if you want some challenge and working as a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
