Steam Network Status: Down

Posted by NoToRiOuS at 05:21 9/1/2004.

It's 5am and you figure that you'd have a few rounds of pixel bashing before you hit the sack. However one comes across the problem "Cannot connect to Steam content server, please try again".

After many tries of re-connecting and a small tip off, I decided to do a complete re-fresh of all the UK Steam CS servers. Just as I thought, not a single player on any server. Conclusion is that the Steam network is currently down (for maintenance?).

When there is more information I'll let you all know. For the mean time, sit tight, and suck on a lollypop or something.

**UPDATE**
All appears well in the wooded realm of Steam now and with Noto safely tucked up with his teddies everything appears to be back to normal.

I don't like COD mp at all. It's not got the allround appeal of CS at all, it's just going to be another RTCW.

Slow paced, too many f***ing grenades, and the guns have the usual UT engine crappy feel. Though the sniper rifles are quite good.

The main bad thing with it though is it's like a f***ing eyetest if you try and find someone else to kill, it's so hard to spot people because of the camouflage and dark shades of colour. OK for singeplayer, but I'd rather not have a headache after playing for 20 minutes. The maps are too complicated also.

Good SP game, s*** MP. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

"Save 14.99"?

What Del said.

CoD feels like CS with P90s and AWPs only. Inaccurate P90s at that. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

the maps aren't complicated, you learn them just like you did with CS to begin with. The guns are also fine once you learn how to use them, you can't just go upto someone and crouch and spray. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
