Well we have seen quite alot of these posts lately, and people still dont understand what to do, so i like to say it once more for everyone to know
WON is dead, won was the old online system for Half Life, which now has been replaced by steam, so if you want to play ESF or for that matter, any other online HL game, you need to install steam
Where you ask? go to www.steampowered.com and download steam
1)then install steam, and run it once,
2)now install half life and run it once the normal way (without steam, Optimus Prime just told me this might not be required, you may only need to run it trough steam once to install the hl files into the steam directory, however, i do not know for sure)
3)if steam did its job, it should have installed the HL files in its own steam directory
4)now you can install ESF (or any other mod) and it should work
Mods, it would be nice if you would sticky this so we dont have thousands of those posts, and please edit my post if i forgot to add anything, i just have that weird feeling i forgot something....
NOTE: You need a LEGIT(So i mean....Legal....not downloaded....but bought...) CD-key of Half Life to register with steam, it will not work without a legal CD-key
NOTE 2: Did someone take your CD-Key? go to

If your HL isnt older than 90 days, you can get your CD-Key back for free if you just show evidence that its your HL you are talking about...
Is it older than 90 days? You will need to pay 10 dollars then....You may think..."What?! 10 dollars?! I rather buy that HL I saw in the store for 5 dollars!" but remember, there is a higher chance these days that, that CD-key was also taken...
