@ZeroOne
What 'AndyMutz' is trying to say is you dont need to use a NoCD crack once installing the latest official update! The update removes the CD Check.

I strongly disagree. Have the online authentication for multiplayer but definitely NOT for single player. I'd like to be able to install and play the game a year from now, after the company has gone out of business, without finding that there is no authentication server around anymore.

Good thinking, agreed! Although, similarly, how about a multiplayer game (obviously, on LAN) when the publisher/developer went out of business?

To play online with 1.0.4 just a few steps are required:

1. Buy GAME
2. Install the game (using the serial IMUS-TNOT-TALK-WARE-Z)
2. Join a server
3. Play!

You know, to play 1.0.4.0, only one step is required: BUY THAT GAME!

If you bought the game, you would just run it and join some server... no gamespy, no editing, no strange keyboard combinations...

2. Add 127.0.0.1 q4master.idsoftware.com to ur windows
hosts file
3. Look for MP server via GameSPy, join it via GameSpy
4. At Waiting for auth. - press 4*ALT+TAB (Not that slow frequency)
5. U get Screen "Game is loaded", "Init. Menu" etc.
6. At 2nd Waiting for Auth. - press 6*ALT+TAB
7. U successfully joined the server

so?
like prollfin already said.. there is absolutely no need for people with a legitimate copy to bypass the keycheck. this sounds rather like a manual for all users of a warez version..

Yes, I have mentioned that before, that is why I believe that eventually some sort of Official Patch will be released, for games like HL2. Therefore not needing to authenticate anymore.
