About AWE:

AWE is a server plugin for Counter-Strike: Source that modifies game play. It's similar in nature to the Warcraft3 and Superhero mods for Counter-Strike. Players gain experience for actions like setting the bomb or rescuing hostages. As a player gains more experience, they gain new abilities or improvements to current abilities.

Since AWE is a server side plugin, players need only connect to a server that has installed AWE in order to play. Depending on the configuration, players may be required to download models and materials the first time they connect to an AWE server. Be patient, AWE doesn't require much custom content so you should be connected in no time.
