Can I download Counter-Strike for free if I buy Half Life ..

If you open steam and enter your CD key for Half-life and
Half-life2 then go to 'my games' it should show you what's
available to you.

For example:

http://www.stri.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/desktop.JPG

If you double click them to install it will ask you if you
want to purchase them if you don't already have it. I think
CS should come with what you have if not it should be
relatively inexpensive.

Word of warning. Don't expect to go into a CS server and get
anything other than a good kicking. CS is even harder than
CS:Source since a lot of the really stand-out players stuck
with CS as they believe CS:Source is too great a divergance
from the original.

Good luck.

Has the original Counter Strike ever cost money if you had Half-Life?
It did start it's life as a free mod after all.

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

yeah, their cheats don't work as well in the source engine

Nope, the original CS was always free for anyone with a valid HL CD Key,
the same with TFC & DoD
