Yes, you'll need Half-Life 1 to play.

If you play a non steam version of half life, i think you won't be able to play with people. Not to mention the trouble to make it work on a NS half life, i think it's just easier to buy half life anthology on steam

You know, even tough its never mentioned, maybe theres a way to play pirate games on steam.
However if you have a legal non steam copy of HL you can just register the CD key and play HL on steam.

Like CS 1.6? For some reason i have a non steam Cs 1.6, was given to me by schoolmates so we could play vs each other. This NS version seems to work with most steam servers, just need to get the ip of a server and add it to favorites.
I don't recall past NS versions of CS to be this good tbh. :roll:

Well, tried a few HL1s, when I try to start it up, it says it needs a minimum of 16MB of RAM to work, doesn't see my 6GB at all, so if I want to try this I'll have to somehow buy the Steam version, or wait until the devs smarten up and make it a standalone game.

Wow and I thought my posts were bad...mlauzon said:
Lol'd. Standalone game = bad, why? Biggest reason: it would pratically turn out a MUST BUY GAME on people's list,.
Another reason: high popularity? F*uck that, i really hate it when games are flooded with random morons. That's why i always enjoyed small games that aren't overall popular. Which is what makes me hang around with this community, because its not that popular.
Oh and did i mention that: i like it as it is right now. More people are welcome as usual, but i still think it should be kept down on the limit rather than make it a massive played mod for hl1.
Also if it were to become a standalone game that required paying to get the game, you know you would end up paying more than buying half life anthology on steam? fyi

Given what it'd cost to license the engine, yes, we'd have to charge you a lot more than $7.
...although maybe we'd take Paypal.
Although there's probably some place out there that you can purchase Steam gifts through Paypal accounts... But easier (and infinitely safer) to just go buy a pre-paid Visa and use that.

Don't install Half-Life from a CD. Use the CD key with Steam instead. Half-Life on CD is so old it doesn't work with anything, but you can use the key to download the current version, if you're lucky. (Games->Activate a Product on Steam...)mlauzon said:

Look I realize you may not have a huge income, but do not blame you having to buy Half-Life on the team's incompetence. And don't expect me to pity you for it either.

If you can afford electricity for your computer, and internet to boot (nvm the roof over your head), you can certainly afford Half-Life1.
If you can't afford $7, then you have a LOT bigger problems than whether you can play MSC.
/me takes a second look at the post...
TMI... ...and you have a LOT bigger problems than whether you can play MSC. ><

Just have a box of Kraft Dinner a day for 2 weeks. You'll save at least $7 that way.

Meh, if he's already fat, midas well start the Ramen diet.
Srsly, it's $7 and there's a thousand damned mods for this game - there really is no way to get more gaming bang for your buck. It'll last forever as Valve's always updating (even if the mods wont for the same reason), and your computer will pwn it (barring ATI). The main game itself is good for days to weeks. (Well, at least hours, if you're never going to have sex.)
