Starting July 26th the shutdown of the WON authentication servers will begin. This process will be completed on July 31st. This means players will no longer be able to access Internet features of Valve games, such as Counter-Strike 1.5, using the WON authentication servers. Users can continue using Valve games on the Steam service by downloading the Steam installer and setting up a Steam account. For more information visit www.steampowered.com. Counter-Strike 1.5 players will be upgraded to Counter-Strike 1.6 free of charge through Steam. -Steampowered newsCool, eh? STEAM forever!
WON is going to die >:-)

NooooooO!
No more OpFor CTF
. That was my favorite HL multiplayer mode. Hopefully, they bring that back in Source, they certainly didn't support it with Steam.

??? WHY NOT ??? you can play hl AND it's mods under steam 
Why you think that you couldn't? I play HL and mods under steam and it's ok. (well only 2 mods are working Sven co-op and Wasteland Half Life, that's 2 of 4

Any third party mod can be used as a server and a mp game. Just run the server from dedicated server and it will appear in list of servers for that third party game.

I can play all my 3rd party mods: Asheep, Firearms, HL Elite, Hunger, Invasion, NS3, Poke646, POV, Redemption, Science and Industry, SoHL and The Specialists. OpFor CTF does not show up on my list, even with it installed. I just ran it with -game gearbox and it works fine.

Thx saribous.
I didn't have the heart to say that, since everybody here seems to be pro-steam.

I don't like steam.
Valve behaves like microsoft.
'You don't use out software, you won't be able to use the old features anymore.'
All HL updates after 1110 are steam only. Codename: Gordon is steam only.
That's what makes it so evil.

wont work dude, sierra can save a shit load of money by not using won. and won is not related to sierra ore valve, they use the won system. and they decided to stop it using hl. so won still excist, but not for hl anymore. the scan servers will be taken down.

Put the mod folders in youremailhalf-life and launch them by either using the third party games list, or in some cases, you need to run it with -game x set in the advanced launch options.

Why Stem is EVIL? : Becouse it's new? Easier to use? Maybe becouse there are no hacked servers ? (one that can be played with false cd-key) And belive me, MANY players are using steam. And, when everybody will play steam there will be much more coustom mods running on it (op4 ctf also, i've already seen it on steam, so there are op4 ctf servers) And, ofcourse you can get valve games without looking for them in shops. And automated patching is also great. And fast. You hate Steam? Do you actualy installed it : ?? It's just better

Don't know what are you talking about... if you ask do you need to download them, well... you just instal steam, register with cd-key (that from hl) and have all games avaible, just right click in panel and click instal, and it'll be downloaded (very fast) You can download hl, op4, tfc, cs1.6, dod, ricoshet(great game! funny) and you can download mods manualy. Easy. You can even have cs 1.6 AND cs 1.5! (don't know why you could want both but you can ) And if you was asking do you need to instal those games, than not. You can have no games istalled at all 
I have cs 1.6, hl, op4 and ricoshet installed only.

well, steam is better then won. and servers show up quiker. and hl get new upgrades all the time. just dl the 500k installer. then steam will copy your normal hl files to steam and update them. it only takes 10 minutes for me to upgrade my normal hl to steam.

Steam is evil, as we all know.
Valve has it's head up it's ass currently and is living in a lalaland where downloads times are instant and everyone owns a super-computer.
And finally, WON is gone, my MODing days, though few as it was, are over.

It requires a certain amount of paranoia to not like steam, microsoft etc.
If you don't have this paranoia, you will never understand people who have it.
It can be a great advantage to have this paranoia.

I can run Steam fine on a Pentium 3 500MhZ with 128mb of RAM and a ISDN connection fine. All the games play at max res and the ISDN connection doesn't lag hardly. Steam 0wnz. WON on the other hand lags like hell on ISDN. Unplayable sometimes even.
