Do you need a CD sent to you with the complete cs+steam install? Or is it that you don't want to install 1.6?

Cheats. There are 3 (or more) out there. The problem is that it is a fault within the CS engine and not a downloadable cheat.

As it's part of the code, do the rules in the ladders we play in ban the use of these cheats?

I am not sure. But we only accept/make challenges for matches with No Shield.

the clanbase rules will not accept matches with the shield.

If you want to play a match you have to disable it. (that is the way clanbase wants it)

Dont bother with the big dl just get the updater and let it update everything it does everything its v good. It worked for me. All your need to do after is just tell cs and hl to update themselves whenever they want too.

My Steam has hung up on 30% of update started around 8:00am  which means I can't get into Steam by any method so it looks like another clear out and start again. I am not a Happy Bunny :rant:  :rant:  :rant:

Shall i put the emphasis on the drops back to desktop. I.e no steam in taskbar, no steam anywhere except coming out of my ears at explaining a billion times to 2 billion people how it doesnt work.

I occasionally get left 'floating in mid air' while the round starts without me.(A good thing, some might say.) I then have to leave the game and start again. I hit escape/quit.
Incidently, I think it was untoward of you to kill me with such regularity after I welcomed you back with such fervour. Now behave! Be a good boy.

I often have to press my team selection key after a map change to enable me to join a team.

I allways get this when I join any server and when the map changes.
I never get the menu come up automatically.
