<div class="IPBDescription">Do I have to own HL to play this game?</div>Well do I have to own Half-Life to play this game, or can I use CZ or 1.6? I dont understand the "Counter Strike Retail" thing. Then it says you cant use CZ or 1.6 so do I need CSS to play if I dont have HL1?

    you need a copy of Halflife 1 not 2
    since NS runs off the half life 1 engine <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink-fix.gif" />

    well theoretically you can use CZ.
    but i cant guarantee anything

    you need an HL1 engine to run a mod.
    i think CZ has the HL engine delivered with the retail cd.
    but i havent tried it.
    HL1 is what 10 euros not even that?
    just go buy a copy...

    If you can play the half-life 1 single player game then you can play NS. Simple as that.

    It's the opposite for CS though. If you want to play CS you'd need to have either one of the older games that includes cs(game of the year etc) or buy it for 10 bucks through steam. My friend had to get CS separately because of that.

    holy mother of facepunchstudio's dumb rating(which was remove)!!!
    Counter Strike Source is basicly, PURELY on an entirely differnt source engine, NS1 isnt like that, it feeds ONLY off of Half-life1's engine
