Obviously it doesn't prevent you from running the game single player or over a LAN (as Q3, Half-Life, and others disable the serial authentication with the server for these cases), but it does prevent people from using the game in its most popular form, online over the internet. -Eric Gross

Counterstike as a stand-alone game just hit the stores a few days ago I believe (and the 1.0 release occured at the same time). I think it was going to sell fairly cheaply, maybe $19.99 or so. -Eric Gross (Hope to kill you in Counterstrike sometime soon :) "Paul Foose" <pef(two)@po.cwru.edu> wrote in message news:8uv5u5$4bs$1@eeyore.INS.CWRU.Edu... > > It helps that Half-Life basically requires you to buy the game for the > > serial number, as you probably have a better chance winning the lottery > > than having a serial generated by a Half-Life key generator actually be > > valid for playing online (ie to play Counterstrike) > > > That is why I want to buy it.
