Advertisements for Orange Box...a SIX YEAR OLD GAME...and other rants.

Right...so why are there ads in-game, in a game I paid for...for a SIX YEAR OLD GAME...THAT I ALSO PAID FOR? I asked this previously but my discussion disappeared for some reason...strange. I understand users now have to install their own game mod to remove the ads? Plus...unless I'm mistaken the server list still appears to be all messed up. Also, when I attempt to change options in the game, it automatically freezes/hangs...every time, even after changing compatibility options. Additionally, these new discussion "forums" are awful. 22 out of the 24 discussion pages here appear to be threads written entirely in RUSSIAN. Would it not make sense to have separate discussion boards for different languages? I own the game already and already paid for it so it's not like I can threaten to get my money back...but it seems like the only thing left to do is hit "delete local content" which is a pity, because I still think this is one of the greatest Valve games ever.

Thanks for joining my pity party. I think we're the only two people here that speak English except for those few people who learned to ask if you'll buy them games because they don't have a credit card in Siberia.

well, i think they have to work on CSGO, wich is the most profitable game from this series and they forgot 1.6

Indeed, they seem to have "forgot about Dre".

I too find the ads extremely ANNOYING! :A_BIG_THUMBS_DOWN:

BTW, BG, the official Steam CS forums are MUCH more helpful and organized than this Steam "discussions" crapola -> http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=7 :)

(Edit) P.S. ...and if you're in to it, CS:CZ -> http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=33 , and Day of Defeat -> http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=21 :)

(Edit) P.P.S. Your older message thread is still here -> http://steamcommunity.com/app/10/discussions/0/846940248538404589/ ... it's just hard to find anything in this clusterF of "discussions" :(
