Hey everybody! I have a question... I've tried about three different different cd keys (That I've bought) and it keeps on saying "Invalid Cd Key" they worked for Steam version 1.5 but not on 1.6, I think Steam 1.6 has flaws... But I'm not sure, has anyone else encountered this problem?

Contact Valve, thats all i can recommend

:( I've done that! They said that we can't help in anyway because we're not sure if you're using a KeyGen or not. :(

well, neither am i, you know the rules mate, i think a lot of people will be unwilling to help you here coz saying you bought 3 CD-Keys sounds a bit dodgy, try another forum. sorry

Hahaha! No those are my old games, I work at NetGames (It's a game place... I don't know how to describe it) but yeah, that's why I have so many :D

well, we dont know that, i could say i worked in Electronics Boutique on High Street in Bolton working as a Staff manager, and everyone would prolly believe me although i just amde it up

Hahaha! Nice I actually believed you... But seriously do you have like a computer place there that's all connected with lan?!?

And anyway! If you don't want to believe me, that's okay with me!

I'd recommend you visit the forums at counter-strike.net , they would be more helpful than most people here. I was there the other day, before I posted my question I found the answer by browsing a couple of pages in the forums. I'm sure lots of other have asked your question at those forums. give it a try, you got nothing to lose. Besides, the people at the counter-strike.net forums don't seem so paranoid about someone using a number obtained with a keygen.

Okay! Thanks. :grinthumb

Can't say I've ever had a problem with my HL serial key that I got with the original half life when it was first released. Steam 1.6 works fine and CS:CZ models and guns etc. look so much nicer now :D

You managed to get CZ models into CS? Nice. Without buying CS:CZ? If so do you have any information on how to do it?

All i can say to Marconey09 is that if you really want to play CS online (which you should - its great) then buy yourself another copy of HL - its only about £5 now on budget release and worth every penny.

Nope. I was a big CS fan so I bought CZ and was initially disappointed, but now they have updated CZ to use new gun and character models and new weapon sounds. CS 1.6 still looks the same as it always did though.

Yeah but here's the thing, I got the CD key to work! But the next day I (While I'm playing it) get this message and it shuts down the game and says "You have been using an Invalid CD Key" I've talked to them a few times about this but they still don't help...

Maybe some got your CD-KEY ( maybe a friend ) & once Valve noticed a few separate people were using the same key, they blacklisted it.

Maybe.... Hmm.... I guess I'll go and buy Counter Strike again, it is a pretty cheap game! But ehh... Makes me mad. :mad:

Check out info at www.counter-strike.net before going out and spending more money. And for updated graphics you could buy CS:CZ :D

Have a read of this thread (http://www.forumplanet.com/counterstrike/topic.asp?fid=4982&tid=1199110)

I've heard Counter Strike Condition Zero sucks (Mainly from my brother Akio yeah the newcomer so welcome him people!) does it suck?

I didn't like it at first because the crosshairs were huge but they are scaled properly now. Its not much different. just looks quite a bit nicer!

Hey Arris, do you think you could send me some pictures of the game? And how many skins/guns can you choose from? Do they have a wider variety of guns and skins in Counter Strike Condition Zero?

I'll do some screenies of the the new look CZ skins and guns. I might even look for the weapon sounds in the games directory and post some of them ;)
Its pretty much the same amount of choices as in CS. The riot shield doesn't look like an armour plate off a van now, more like an actual riot shield. The good thing abotu CZ is that it will be due for more updates whereas I think CS is going to lag behind. When you consider that a demo at E3 showed CS running with the HL2 engine (Source engine) its unlikely the old CS will be updated much in the future...

:eek: Wow! You kind of lost me! Hahaha, so how many skins are there? And what type of guns? Do they still have to same guns as Steam 1.6? Or even Counter Strike?

Hahaha! You should probably re-read then Marc! Anyway! Still I think it sounds like a waste of money I mean I like Counter Strike and all but CS:CZ sounds a little.... Of the same thing you know? It sounds like an update! I still like to play the old Counter Strike. I barely ever play 1.6! ;)

I did! It was just fast hahaha! And yeah Akio is an oldie (I think that's how it's spelt) he still plays the old games like StarCraft! :eek: :grinthumb

It is a waste of money considering that the multiplayer element of HL2 is going to be counter-strikeif you can take what the demonstrator says in the E3 Half Life 2 demo as gospel. Basically CZ is CS but with new maps, new map graphics for old maps, new character models, new gun models/skins and new high definition sounds. But since your brother says he was going to buy another copy of CS to get a serial key he might as well go for CS:CZ in my opinion.... ;)

Well going by his profile I'm 4 years older so what does that make me :D

Hahaha! We're the same age :D I'm a little older then him though (like 3 minutes I think it was) and I guess it is kind of worth it. But still! The old version is always the best because that's where it started off! Hahaha. :grinthumb

Hey Akio! Want to go grab some food later? Like maybe in 10 minutes? And thanks for the information Arris! I'm probably going to go and buy Counter Strike Condition Zero today! :grinthumb

Umm.... Sure! I guess call my cell!

Here are some Condition Zero screenies from my TechSpot gallery

Hahaha! Wow! So they're even better! :eek: This game keeps on amazing me! :grinthumb

See! I told you it's a good game! :grinthumb
