Counter Strike Source

I've never played it. So I bought source. Do I need Half Life 2 or anything? I bought it and its not installing. I put the CD in and it installed steam and i go through the user agreements and all then it just quits. So i was thinking it was an exspansion of some game? Or am I just a noob having trouble.
 
nope, you don't need HL2 or regular CS1.6, it's a game on its own. Just install steam and then make and account, enter your CS:S cdkey and you should be able to play it (open steam and then double click on source)

CS:S = counter strike:source
 
you bought source? you mean cs source. source is like their engine or something...
and yes it can be bought separately. you just need to install it and steam and let it connect/log in and do a massive number of auto updates and unlocking. after opening the steam window it should do all this automatically, esp if you try to play by clicking on cs source in the games window
 
did you download steam (not install from cd), type in your CS:S key which you got, and then play it?

hopefully that method will work. steam has a history of "not working with some people".
