<div class="IPBDescription">WHY?</div> I still havent figured out why people are playing on WON, while steam has come out w/ a "better" version of gaming. Although steam is beta and there might be a few bugs, but most people I know still play on won servers and not on steam.

Is it because of the bugs in the game or is the game play a lot different on the old version rather than the new one.

    I think it's because steam is too hard to install. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
    Most 56k users really can't download 150+ MB's. And I know it's not because of system requirements. I can run steam perfectly on my own PII 350 Mhz computer. In fact, in runs better than WON HL. (I just play HL on it, NS runs on a P4 2 Ghz <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif'><!--endemo--> )

    well.. im not sure about that. I was talking about people w/ 20+ ping but less than 200. Thats what i was talking about. If you have heard about jiggly room or red skulk pit .. then i dont know.. maybe it is the install. But i need more feedback to go back to the regular half-life rather than the steam version. I thought by now everyone would convert.

    It's because ATM, NS dosn't work properly on steam. The popup menu is messed up and commander mode dosn't function properly.

    NS 3.0, which is coming out (drumbroll please...) Holliday season 2003, will be officially supported by steam and even be an "official game" like CS DoD ect...

    ahh.. i understand now.. the weird thing is, is that when they did the last steam update (dont know if you play cs or not) but it had fix the text errors as well as some known steam glitches. Although it keeps crashing after every map, i still like to play it. But now everyone plays the same old version.. i guess id have to go back to that :X <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->
