I'm about to go on deployment and would like to play CS with shipmates on the sub. We don't have internet access while at sea. Can you play CS via LAN. I tried to reload the CS I got with HalfLife 2. When I doubleclick the CS icon to start the first thing it wants to do is run Steam and log-in. I've left my wireless card off on purpose to prevent an internet connection. I will NOT be able to connect to steam while on the ship. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

You can buy the old counter strike and and from that counter strike you can play with lan. but i don't think you can play counter strike source with lan.

Yes, you can play CS and CS Source on a lan. You'll need all the install files available for your shipmates. You'll need to run a server for everyone to join. You can do that as a "listen server" which is a server that runs on your personal pc while you and others connect to it to play. You can also run a dedicated server from a spare box that nobody is using.

You do not have to connect to steam.

P.S. Thanks for your service!
