This process will be completed on July 31st. This means players will no longer be able to access Internet features of Valve games, such as Counter-Strike 1.5, using the WON authentication servers. Users can continue using Valve games on the Steam service by downloading the Steam installer and setting up a Steam account. For more information visit www.steampowered.com. Counter-Strike 1.5 players will be upgraded to Counter-Strike 1.6 free of charge through Steam.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Happy days!

    Happy... about what? That CS players are forced to play an inferior version of CS if they want to use the authentication servers?

    When Valve puts the 1.5 port under official games I'll be impressed.

    Good cs 1.5. Where chest shots aren't head shots and shields do not exist.

    All those seem like good updates, considering that when I played CS last time, v1.1 or something, everybody used AWP's like shotguns or lamed in some corner. Also, making every shot count, not only headshots, seems like good balancing.

    So, what is the trite here...? <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Now that WON is gone...


    EVERYONE DL NS 2.0 FOR STEAM!!1 Besides...there is only 1 steam NS 2.0 server, and nobody plays there...more people need to get 2.0 for steam and make servers.

    /Edit: Here's a page with 2.0 on steam. Since it was removed from natural-selection.org...

    Shouldn't that be telling you something? <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Actually, WON will be gone by the end of the week. They're STARTING to shut down the servers today.

    They made a different download for 2.0 on steam, then 2.0 on WON. The steam servers aren't getting shut down. Its just that there is only one steam server for 2.0, probably because they moved to 3.0.

    I know: I started playing 2.0 on steam as soon as I found the installer, and I never turned back.

    My point was, if 2.0 was so great, why does nobody play it? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
