Can I download a stand-alone Counter Strike without the need for Halflife?

 

[Wik]

Download, no.

Buy, yes.

why would you want to? just buy a cheapo version of HL, one of the best comp games ever, then you get all the superb mods (CS, DoD, Firearms) for free!

half life is the way to go. You don't want to be a retail n00blet, do you?

Or be a cheap ass and just play the 1.4 beta for now...download = yes......free = yes.......better have broadband though.

grifterspawn,

Since CS is a HL mod, don't you need HL to install the CS 1.4 beta mod?

That's the answer everyone else is giving: No, you can't play the CS mod w/o buying HL. Or by buying the retail Counter-Strike.
