So I have never used Steam before, I have no account there or anything like that and was just giving it a browse over because I would like to give CS a blast.
I have never played HL or CS (think I might of played HL demo) before so don't know what i'm getting into, but seems most of the internet is in love with CS and I could do with a game that you can just pick up and play online.
So im browsing steam but I have no idea what I need
afaik it's CS:Source thats where it's at, not Counter Strike but looking at steam there a a few options available.
Do I just pick up the $19.99 basic pack? or will I end up being blocked out of a lot of servers due to missing maps and stuff. Or do I get the CS:Source + Gary's Mod (whatever that is, i'll google later) or the Source Multiplayer Pack, which is a little more than I would like to spend but the price seems to match the UK retail price of the same game, so I guess that's not a bad buy.
Sorry guys im a CS noobie and have no idea whats what, Can I get away with the basic cheap game or will I be wasting money in the long run? What package on steam would you reccomend?
