bottom line...
STEAM SUCKS
bascially its an anti-cheat, autopatching, launching and messaging program all built into 1 program. As the http://www.steampowered.com site says or used to say (I think its been remove) Play games in seconds. BULL FREAKING CRAP It took me over 2 days just to get one game working then the thing broke again.
Ok now the problems with it...
You name it. Nearly everyone has had every sort of problem with it. I myself have have had problems with it right from the start.
you might as well get it now and start cussing at it for the next couple of weeks because in about 2 weeks (if valve sticks to what they said) you will be forced over to it anyway because they will be shutting down the won servers and anyone that doesn't have steam will be screwed out of play the game online anymore.
When you do install steam go slow and make sure for now you keep your old install of Half-life just incase you're install goes screwy like most of ours has.
BTW missed you too:)
