Couple of thoughts:
Could someone clarify how to use the demoviewer?
Punkbuster, CSG, HLG -none are perfect when they came out, valve is starting from scratch unlike HLG which came directly from CSG.
Some of these posts are just laziness in my opinion (renaming a dll, laziness to read fixes listed in first post, modem users taking a long time to download - you get what you pay for unfortunately, and those who paid more have gotten faster downloads (DSL,cable,T1,etc))
The only thing I can complain about is that my new computer is broken (you thought it would be cs related)
As far as paying for steam.. I wouldn't, I doubt it will happen. However I have mixed views on this. Downloading small parts at different times does bring up things like: Can I use a custom .cfg, custom models, etc, and Why not just download it all in the beginning and then not have to download anything again until the next patch. I used steam (1.4 priv beta testin), I neither liked it nor disliked it. I'm not sure I like tracker, mainly because I'm not accustomed to it (add that to my laziness section of this comment).
I think that valve will do ok in the end, but I hope they are taking what they have learned from counter-strike and implement it to cs2 such that maybe they dont even use dll files for functions as used in half-life, if there was no dll hooking, there probably wouldnt be any hacks, just exploits.
