Originally posted by Ding Chavez There is an option "Offline Mode" if you have unlocked the game files. I think you have to set steam to remember your password first, but then you can just play it without connecting steam to the internet. Remember that you do have to connect your laptop to the internet to unlock the game files there after you installed it (using the same steam account name of course). Steam only has to verify the files the very first time you start up half-life 2. Then your cd-key is coupled to your steam account and there is no need to verify the files again.

online mode for 2 weeks then that u said is gonna work what ive heard..

great game though..

Originally posted by stren me probably january, so please don't spoil our fun BTW..what about those ppl who don't have the internet? they can't even install the game?? a true revolution that Steam is

unfortunately yes, those without internet can't play. not the best solution to prevent hacking/leaking...

I've got a P4 3.0 Ghz with 512RAM and a Radeon X300 card - would this game even play on my system?

I really don't know how well it would perform...I know KotOR plays great on my compy, but is HL2 a huge leap up in graphics?

I didn't even know it came out today until I checked this forum. Been looking forward to this for years, but sorta lost interest when they kept pushing the date back.

Unfortunately, I have about $100 to my name...all this time to play computer games, but no job to (safely) pay for em...Oh well.

Definately. I have a 1.4 ghz thunderbird, 512 ram and a Geforce3, and it runs pretty good on medium settings.

And I should have a 9800 pro and 3000+ barton any minute now, if fucking fedex will get here.
