Are you guys serious? I have seen just as many, if not more, hackers on STEAM then I have on 1.5. If you honestly think that STEAM is helping deal with the hacker situation, you are Valve's tool.

Key word there is HELPING. if you said stops it, then i'd agree with you. However my view is somewhat different.

the hardcore guys that make cheats and do hacks and such are going to do it no matter what, your not going to stop em. They dont bother me. what bothers me is the little kid wanna be ones who find easy ways to hack something and then run around using it like no tomorrow. and every little bit of somethign helps to stop thoes kind. and personally i like that.

but steam does suck.

Your reference to little kiddie hackers is commonly referred to as myg0t. If you dont know who it is, google it and you'll see what I mean.

But CS:S's physics are pale in comparison to HL2. I finally got the gravity gun today and its just awesome. Nothing funner then throwing a barrel of fuel/explosives at enemies

It's the guy from the funny Counter Strike flash movie? "OMG! YOU %$&*(^()_^&&( hacker!!" ???

myg0t is a CS clan that their goal is to only make people's game experience suck, ie: cheat, hacks, etc..

A recent example is in the last month, an exploit was found where if you put %n in your name in CS:S and joined a game, when you get killed, the server crashes out (thus, everyone else does also). They used that exploit EVERYWHERE on CS:S until Valve fixed it.

My only complaint about the game so far:

I can't pick up dead bodies and fling them down the stairs... Watching a combine soldier dude roll down them is so fun! Weeeeheheheeeeh!

I finally connected and was able to play some CS:S. Wow, it looks so good. Too bad my bandwidth is so crappy. I wasn't able to do so well.

Still haven't gone back to try getting HL2 to work, but I absolutely love Source. The physics is so pretty.

And, Steam prevents people from cracking the game and gettting it for free. Steam sucks at stopping people from cheating, but they have to buy the game. That's all that matters to Valve anyways.
