All standard maps are included in the counter-strike.gcf file you can find in the SteamApps folder.

If you want to install maps/sounds/gfx etc you should install them to

C:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\benny@deadmen.co.uk\counter-strike\cstrike\

and just add the Maps, sounds, gfx etc folders there.

nope, no maps.....the only thing I can think of is to connect to MH now and let it idle through all the downloads.

:huh:

You have all the standard maps (dust, dust 2, aztec etc). They are embedded in the file I mentioned above. All the non standard maps however you need to download.

There is a file called ClientRegistry.blob found in this folder

C:\Games\Steam\

Delete that file and then start steam. You will be required to log in again but it usually solves many problems.
