yes you can use steam offline.

Like its been said before - steam is far superior to WON - anybody who isn't using it (even my friend on 56k has it and it works pretty well) doesn't know what they're missing out on :)
lol what's his ping normaly if i conect to a game i get a ping boost of 2000 so i moastly play offline and use won for online

Note: STEAM is superior to won but it kills my 56k modem :cry:

Steam is much better IMHO, unfortunetly, my VALID BOUGHT BY ME AT A DAMN STORE CD-KEYS don't work on it.

Apparently someone lucked out with a keygen and now my keys are toast.

I'm searching on Steam Forums for any help, but this is ridiculus, I paid for the platinum pack and now I can't use it? Seriously.

What I'm gonna do is have my keys reset through the snail mail process, if somebody's using my keys, they won't be for long, I only wish I could get their address and visit them with my bat.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and I'm NOT paying 35 bucks to download the steam content, what a waste of effort.

Well, I don't care about WON anymore.

Steam is way better then WON, on WON i had ping's around 100-150, now with steam i have around 40-50.

I had problems with steam first, but afterwards the problems got fixed, now steam works perfect.

Errr, no. It is free, but unless I want to purchase the steam version of HL through steam itself, I can't play ESF or HL online unless I use WON.

I really want to use steam, and I'm not saying it's bad or anything, it's just that little glitches like the cdkey lock system are rather annoying..

Note: I have purchased the Platinum HL pack and have tried multiple keys from it. None work.

*sigh* the 35 dollar quote is for purchasing and downloading HL from steam. Nothing else.

Hibki you just made me pop!!!
What are you saying? That you could make ESF work without WON somehow?! Why didn't you do it in the first place? Wouldn't you wait until HL2 or Steam came out if it was SO bad?

And all of you smart-ass ppl you say Steam is easier to use than WON.....
How could ANYthing be easier to use?!? If you really think something can possibly be easier to use than WON than im not surprised you think Steam is supirior!
Even if it IS easier to use who NEEDS something easier to use?!?!!? Well I guess someone like you.....

Dissapointing, really...

What was that non-sensical, grade 3 grammatical rant about? Steam is superior to Won in every way, maybe it wasn't when it first was launched. But now, it blows Won out of the water. It is more stable than Won, it is easier to use than Won (Buddy list [I admit... when it works =P], Switching Mods, Getting Updates). However, I have heard it is not very Windows Me/98 friendly, but who uses Windows ME/98 still anyways?

Won wasn't that great to begin with, the annoying sound-loss if you accidentally hit the Windows Key/Needed to alt-tab out for any reason. The Open-Gl glitch when you created a server. Any of these ring a bell?

I used to be anti-steam at one time, but once you've used it, there's no reason to ever want to go back to Won.

Think about it this way, once you drive a car, would you want to go back to a horse-and-buggy? Didn't think so.

May I guess that you had problems with it?

Steam is easier to use than won. Believe me I used both - finding servers is so much easier and quicker - that is worth it's weight in gold believe me.

Would you instead try to explain what exactly is betterin steam?
Oh the last time I checked it took me longer to load a game in steam than in WON and if the download speed is the same in steam it's not such an advantage. You hear about updates and game patches.

If, as you say, Steam '****s your comoputer,' then maybe it's time to get off your Celeron 300. Steam isn't a massive resource hog like WON is. When's the last time you used Steam? Last year it did suck, as I've said in the past, I'll say it again, when you have 1000+ people logging on to Steam trying to download everything the Valve server is going to be screwed no matter how fast it is.
Time has past, most people have the things they need from Steam, it is faster, more reliable than WON ever was.
The only thing you can't play on Steam that you can on WON is CS1.5. Don't like it? Tough, it's called a NEW VERSION, join a non-shield server if you don't like it.
If you can't use your mods on Steam, then it's time for the developer's to make the semi-simple switch. The ESF devs did and I've had no problems with ESF and Steam at all.

i ahve got srteam to finaly work but it stillis real glitch dont like how it works. pisses me off all the time. It ahs ruined my hl mods when installing so i had to reinstall all 50 mods for hl so that took about 5 hours and on top of that that happened 10 times so about 50 fooking hours wasted on geting steam to work. My friends have had lots of crap with it and stuff. There are few thing i like about it but overall it sucks ass. And most of my mods dont work with steam so i get screwed that why bnot i wont be able to play 40 of my mods :( Like no more digital paintball dman that game kicks ass. And this sucks for mycompany because with out WON i loose lots of games to host for business. :( And i cant even install any mods to steam like esf or ation hl because when i install it than i go into steam the mod doesnt show. So all i can play is the ga.y defult mods that come with steam like crappy cs. My life sucks now. No more good old classic games. Oh and top of that i think that means now csbetas wont work nooooo. No more of the good old days beta 5.2 :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: damnit this sucks

What made them decide that? Does it cost them anything to keep it?

You wouldn't be bagging WON if Steam had never been invented.

And I have yet to see any sort of official release or notice that WON is going down. I haven't once in the last two years. Could someone post one(pun)?
