[BringIt]

Great job, maybe we'll find some more of valves stupidity in this one, MAYBE THEY PUT ALL OF HL2 IN, HAHAHAHAAHA.

 

[Daegon]

I get to do it over 56k cause my dsl term ended last thursday, should be up in time to play with you boys.

 

[cyberman_sa]

Sup guys. preloaded to 58% now and seemed to stop. I guess we get the rest tommorow. I just purshased CS:CZ via steam bout 2 hours ago after noticing the price had dropped to $29.95. Just what i'd been waiting for just in time for CS:S. Looks like good things do happen to those that wait.

 

[.5c0ut-WHoR3.]

93% yey.. to bad i can't play for about 2 days =\

 

[dawurz]

man that was easy - kudos to Steam

So I see that CS:S is pre-loading now for ATI/HL2 bundle people. CS is a game I tried maybe three times, then forgot about cause Q3, UT and Rocket Arena took over. The videos of the game look like a ton of fun.

I remember the unscratched HL2 key stuck to my 'fridge since November, when i chucked a Ti500 for a 9800XT @ CompUSA. Read the post about how to be careful removing the cover-up, actually try two different erasers, one sucks, one works fine. Fire up Steam, register the key, half-thinking it will have problems and more-than-likely not register me as a valid ATI/HL2 bundle person, but it does, and quickly. Then it begins the pre-load. If only everything PC game related was this easy :thumbs:

Looking forward to re-vistiting this whole Counter Strike phenom with upgraded, er, everything!

 

[tbag]

Well im all pre-loaded up

 

[fob]

Me too - can't wait to play! Preloading only took me about one hour - now that icon is makin' me go crazy

 

[LAYP]

I think I need to check with my 1337 h4x0r

SKILL to crack this, but I doubt it.

 

[Gunner]

Woot! go go go !

 

[ThaDon]

ARR!! I cant pre-load it, the server is overloaded :O :frown:

I fu**ing god damn hate the fu**ing program steam!!

*Update

[Gunner]

[Bio]

[v1p3r]

I was just poking around in the gcf, the only interesting thing is that the counter strike font and all the weapon images (for the Bob [weapon] Bill things) are actualy normal truetype fonts and you can use them how you want

Strangy it wasnt encrypted, diddnt they say it would be encrypted?

 

[Sprafa]

It's going pretty fast, 53.5% in 30 minutes for me. and I was worried about bandwith

 

[Bio]

i have been playing on the internett a lot so im at 60% now.

 

[shaun forsdyke]

I was waiting for ages for the download to start. Then I realised I had to click "download" I felt a little silly..

Now its all installed I have to see how it will perform on my p3 667 512mb
