How do I get games for free for Steam???

[TheCrayonMan529]

I am new to this website, so I need some help. I want to get MW2 from steam for free and I dont know how to get it. So if you guys can help me out, it would really help. Also I would like to download other games free to from Steam. Thanks

Get SteamUp! (or Undead Patch, they'll both work). And download a GCF for your game and put them in the "steamapps" folder. You can find GCFs here. Just remember to use a blank account.

Oh yes, apparently there is no GCF for MW2, so you'll have to use other means to get it (torrents).

only valve games or half-life type games have gcf's. you have to get the ncf and the common to play mw2.

Not to be an asshole but, there is no such thing as free. (metaphorically speaking)

Game cache file, its like a zip file except its not compressed. It gets extracted while the game is being launched (virtual folders).

Games that arn't made by Valve (counter strike, half life) don't use this method. Some games have .pak files which are less complicated but are basically the same thing.

You need a launcher/cracked steam. It's been explained multiple times in this same thread. It's important to read. Like the 2nd post has a launcher and cracked steam. Get either ones, follow instructions, and then you should have cs 1.6 in your games and it should say download starting or whatever.

hi ime new to the cracked steam and was wondering wat the difference between NCF and GCF

 

[flexzi]

yes, thank you for that question, since I actualy have the same one. The whole GCF downloading and installing/updating in steam has been working wonderfull so far, but there's still a lot of games out on steam which are not posted here in GCF format. I've read some of the posts and threads containing some info on the NCF files but none of them really explain how this works. After I downloaded these files, what do I do?
thx in advance.

You have to get a folder called "common" with NCF.It contains all the game files.
