i like the idea but it's a terrible program right now...too many people have connectivity issues. basically, my cs cal-m clan has stopped trying in online cs because of steam and 1.6...it's just not worth working hard to compete when you get people dropping out of the game all the time.

i also hate that it eliminates the choice of playing older versions of mods if you don't like the updates

 

[nw909]

Yes, but it could be better.

Friendly, I learn this not forum topic for this postage, but I like Steam because it is good programmable for new counter-strike versionables.

 

[Bobo Vieri]

I agree with u Super, i have nothing against steam, and i'm on dial up.
So far, everything is updated, and i get a resonable ping (170-250), which i am happy with being on dial-up.

well, lets see...

-i like the friends feature.. very nice..
-i love the mp3 player. i have 195 songs programmend into my tfc interface. it could use a way to move to the next song without having to manually do it.
-i ilke that i can alt tab and it stay connected with no sound loss.
-i like that i can change my controls etc without it timing out and getting dropped from the server
-i swear the graphics look better in steam tfc than normal
-i love my matrix revolutions skin i made for it and the ease of skinning it

dont like the occasinal connection loss or the nightmare i first had when installing it.

i dont really have any bugs/tech problems. maybe becuase i allow it to run when windows starts and have a connection when it wants it. of course, i have enough resources to spare for it..

 

[Washuu]

yes, but its still farely new, and has lots to be worked out on it, as far as im concerned, steam was just a big beta for everyone, untill its actually packaged with games

::takes pot of tea off burner::: ooooh...oh... OH!!! oh....steam?

 

[another-user]

so far i love most the things with it, my ping is about 10-20 less then it was in 1.5, the friends list is great, alt+tabing out of game with out sound loss is almost god like. only thing i havnt cared for much have been the down times with steam cutting out, and some of my friends not appear on the list when there on from time to time. all in all i like steam, but its still got a long way to go.

 

[LoneDeranger]

Yes, Steam is like family to me.

 

[poseyjmac]

cmon, make a new choice like, Do i like the concept of steam. which is yes. steams concept hasn't been fully realized yet, but i believe it will be.

 

[Dr. Freeman]

i like the idea of Steam as others have mentioned... the connectivity needs some work tho.. and the one point made about wanting to play older versions is true and valid..

has Valve said anything about those users who wish to play an older version of one of the mods? how would that work with the WON network going down eventually?

 

[Asus]

Well "all" mods should be compatible with steam shortly although I would think even if it wasnt it should still work.
I have NS folder in my HL game directory in steam and it works.
NS will soon be converted and I probably won't need that folder there.

 

[PvtRyan]

Yeah I like it, still needs some work though.

 

[Nuclear_Gerber]

hell yeah, now when I have no bugs and it doesn't randomly crash, it's da best.

 

[ComradeBadger]

I'm going to try it when I get my broadband connection, and that will be on my new computer... not this horrible buggy hardrive linked to a motherboard and monitor

[SubCog]

hmmm... if steam ran stable (it's a very interesting non-beta, 'cause it runs like an alpha), and didn't crash people's computers and ruin performance on unreal engine games, and was voluntary instead of mandatory, and had ten times the bandwidth that it has now, and i didn't have to worry about using the steam source code to distribute viruses... then I might like steam.

Until then... that crap doesn't go on my harddrive.
