    I think the gun sounds are too loud. It would be nice if you could adjust volume for ambient sounds, and gun sounds.

    Also, it sounds as though there is only 1 gunshot sound sample per gun, which stands out as repeating ad-nauseum. Some variance in the fired-shot sound sample would be very effective at creating a more natural feel to the game. Multiple recordings of the same shot should be used, or at least the one that's used should be edited into at least several marginally different sounding samples.

    Well good for you but dont rage when for example Valve starts to charge a monthly fee to use steam and if you disagree or cannot afford it you will loose all of your 50 games. Just read their EULA and you may will understand what Steam is basically doing to your bought games here.

    http://store.steampowered.com/subscriber_agreement/english/

    Valve may amend this Agreement (including any Subscription Terms or Rules of Use) at any time in its sole discretion. If Valve amends the Agreement, such amendment shall be effective thirty (30) days after Valve provides you with notice of the amended Agreement, either via e-mail or as a notification within the Software. You can view the Agreement at any time at http://www.steampowered.com/. Your failure to cancel your Account, or cease use of the Subscription(s) affected by the amendment, within thirty (30) days after receiving notification of the amendment, will constitute your acceptance of the amended terms. If you don’t agree to the amendments or to any of the terms in this Agreement, your only remedy is to cancel your Account or to cease use of the affected Subscription(s). Valve shall not have any obligation to refund any fees that may have accrued to your Account before cancellation of your Account or cessation of use of any Subscription, nor shall Valve have any obligation to prorate any fees in such circumstances.

    Every license agreement by every developer and publisher reserves right to edit their use conditions, and Valve charging a monthly fee is not only unlikely, but illogical from a business attracting strategy, as well as their large profitability vs cost of hardware point of view. And do you really expect that Valve, or whatever store you buy your games from, should refund your money because you decide you don't want to play the games anymore? Also, Steam's subscriber license is not the same thing as your game licenses, which are a separate agreement between you and the game publisher, which you read (or not) before installing each game. I can legally make use of my game licenses outside of Steam (including torrent-downloading a game I legitimately own a license for and playing with a crack), though this can be difficult if it's an mp game and the developer hasn't made server access possible except through Steam.

    BTW. there is also an non DRM alternative out there. Its called Gog.com where you can buy, download and play games without any Steamworks protection and it works great.

    I probably have at least 50 games on GoG. I also have games on Origin (though I avoid it if possible, as it truly matches your OP description, and is a second-rate service run by a second-rate company). I take the Steam overlay services, auto updates, download process, forums, game tracking, over GoG, but I'm wholeheartedly unopposed to GoG and buy all the old games I desire from them.

    Dude with powerhungry I didnt mean the resources Steam needs itself but the behaviour of Steam to become basically a monopoly which will always ends in tyranny for those who are being forced to use it.

    Steam haven't tried to be a monopoly, instead, they broke the true dictatorship that the big publishers held over the industry with their services. Now, developers can afford to do their own things on their own terms, and publish on their own. Smaller digital resellers, like GoG, exist only because Valve pioneered DD with Steam and made it a viable industry. PC gaming in general was very much withered prior to Steam's intermediate establishment.

    Also I still hate the fact that this game is exclusive to that moneygrabbing,greedy and powerhungry Steam dictatorapplication

    Dumb, just... pure dumb. There's a massive difference between disliking something while being educated, and just being purely ignorant. Btw, Steam games only require the Steam app to be running if the developer chooses to force it. Some games and apps can be run from the folder without Steam being running. So place responsibility where it's due.

    PS. My Steam, with around 50 games installed, uses around 20 mb of ram. Are you playing on a Pentium I? I can't otherwise fathom where you'd get the idea that Steam is power hungry. I suppose it's from... ignorance.

    PPS, games are a lot cheaper due to Steam, with regular sales, and developers receive vastly more money than they used to before Steam, when they sold physical and had to go through a traditional publisher. So again... ignorance. If you want to support a developer, buy digitally. They receive hardly any money from physically sold copied.
