Well i guess the post is mainly for those people that still use Won over Steam, just a warning to them to get steam up and running before they pull Won down and thier is a massive influx of new players.

    Riiight.

    I'm happy about this, if only because WON needs to be shut down before Valve can commit to a HL2 release.

    No....powerplay died, was a canceled project. Though I agree- steam's netcode is EASILY better.

    I am going to miss that console in won. Was much better than steam because steam's console gets in your view.

    How?!? It always gives me some error about the client DLL...

    And 2.01 works fine in steam... it was made to work on steam because WON was supposed to be dead ages ago, and NS needed to work on steam until 3.0 was out.

    WON's console was invisible, silly. Seriously, some of these complaints are ridiculous.

    Steam brings up 10+ menus, somekind of overlayer, and 10 button each time you try to enter the console, stop assuming every complain is ridiculous

    Won were smooth integrated in the game and it only overlapped 10-40% (depending on resolution) and you could play while having, it's fruitless to argue steam's a better solution..

    It IS a better solution.

    Console doesn't bring up 10+ menus. Try one box to enter everything into, while also bringing up the main menu. Sure, you can't play with it up beyond simple things- but you couldn't in WON either, unless you were using a joystick.

    i really couldn't care less about the console. steam console treats me just fine. plus, i have just about everything bound or set to run automatically.

    Same. What little scripts I do have(speed bhop script for aliums) is simple timing. Otherwise everything is a set piece.

    Though, I do want to set a toggle for crouch...I hate having to hold it down.

    -> Erhm, you could play with the console down in won..

    Steam console gives you the main menu, with friends network, server listing and what not..

    Yeah, if you didn't close them down when you were selecting the game. Ever notice all of those go up or down depending on which ones YOU start up?

    And no, you could not play with it down in won. As soon as it scrolled down, any extra buttons you pressed registered as actual letters in the console, until you closed the console, whether fully or just halfway.
