You need halflife to run the game counter strike. It is a modification of hl, therefore don't work w/out it
Plus if you d/l halflife you wont be able to play it online unless you have a legit wonid (see another post all about it, dont know which 1 tbh)

No, there are two versions - the Mod and the Retail version. If you have a legal copy of Half-Life, you can download the Mod for free from http://www.counter-strike.net/. If you download the retail version with Kazaa, it won't do you any good because you'll never find a CD key that works online. You might be able to find either version pretty cheap on eBay, though. I'd recommend buying Half-Life because it's a great game by itself, and there are tons of free mods you can get for it.
