hahah,

no u need steam for 1.2.1 of esf... and guess what u may not want steam but u will eventually have to get it... valve is shutting down all WON servers so say good bye to cs 1.0 through 1.5 users.

cs 1.5 will be hosted on steam too without being changed so do not worry. steam is taking over :p

heh modem... if ur on a 56k do the gamers community a favor and do not play online because u will just lag every one and most likely not be able to kill a single thing with your lag.

ya steam is needed for 1.2 through 1.3 and so on. 1.2.1 is good but if u do not want to crash to desktop use first person view.

You can play esf without steam, not online though just on LAN. Also if your using a modem it might be handy to use the Lite version of 1.2(saves ~100mb).

Also, if you think that you might be disconnected before completion, you might want to think about getting GetRight, it's a download manager, I used it when I was on dialup, and it saved a lot of greif, it allows you to resume files.

And if you have or use Firefox, I believe that supports resuming files as well.

i did like this: install 1.1 and then i put the esf folder from 1.2 zipfile into halflife( where the esf folder should be ) and it'll work... i don't need to play online anyway :)
