Half Life 2 and STEAM

[Guest]

okay i've heard a lot of different versions of what will happen...but am I to assume that my computer that does NOT have an internet connection will be unable to install Half Life 2 b/c of the lack of Steam connection!?!?

What about Lan parties??? Requiring internet connection would kill playing it at lanparties

Yeah, there would be no way Valve would ignore LAN gaming, being that HL/CS is one of the biggest LAN party games. Besides, pretty much any normal game that has multiplayer online support would have LAN support, with maybe a few exceptions.

Anxiously awaiting prescott....is it here yet?

yeah this whole steam idea is bad. the game is going to make so much money at $50 apiece they shouldn't be worried. It'll be like a 2gb install anyway so it would be hard to get a copy on P2P.

I hear it comes out in April, but I am imagine it will probably be pulled back more and more. Until we're all dead. :|
