its free to play after you buy. what cs cs 1.6 or css?

go & buy from lamington road, cultural. if u are from bombay. buy half life 1 & then u can dload counterstrike from steam for free using that key.

Well i would suggest you to buy the silver pack from steam online cause for $60 you get

HL2, CS: S, HL2 Death Match, HL: S and DOD: S but with retail you will not get DOD: S and HL: S

^^ You get valves back catolog also.

Actually u get almost all steam games!
