I didn't understand all that steam nonsense in the first place, that's why I'm still on 1.5.
I don't see a point in first buying a game and then be dependent on weekly patches that can consume hundreds of MB and hours of online time each. That's like throwing all analog modem users out of CS altogether (see PMB's complaint).
But in fact, I already failed to understand the policy behind earlier CS patches (up to 1.5). Why did they have to include all maps and all the other mods (TFC, FA, Ricochet, etc.) in this one patch? All I wanted was the new CS version - I never asked for TFC! This way, the patch was well above 100 MB ( = forget it, if you're on a 56k like I was then). However, you could at least get this patch on many mirror servers and even on CD-ROMS included in PC magazines. And now? Even worse...
Oh yeah, and the shield... I guess I wouldn't even mind so much if this shield weren't so exaggerated, but according to what my friends said, you can empty your para into that shield without even hurting the player behind it...
Well, 1.6... I'm not sure if I'll ever really come to like it...
