You know registering a serial is part of the "requires internet connection". Wink
But ofcourse you wont have to login everytime you want to play it. That would just be stupid. Im quite possitive that all you will have to do is authenticate the product you bought and thats it.


I'm not sure if it's possible right now but can you play hl1 singleplayer w/o connecting to steam?

Hi all,

Some 'news' for all the HL2 junkies, the game will be released half Nov.
Excellent marketing I would say of Valve, just in time for the big xmas sales. Well than they are at least good in one thing.
...


Sample of good marketing:

Tell pll - what? over a 1 year anyway - different release dates, then as you can't keep them - make a stories about stolen codes (and aliens etc. Wink) so you can let pll hype your game more and more BUT also more and more pll are getting pissed (=Valve) as this b*llshit seems to never end...always more hype, more "release dates".

Tho timing ain't "bad" = x-mas but good marketing? You MUST be kidding me!? Right? Those Valve a**holes finaly got some release date....Didn't toke THAT long!?

I think Valve is kinda smart with this new protection method Buyers now dont have problems with their cd-rom player, which does occur with Starforce 3. Now instead they can register every user who buy Halflife 2
However I am very disappointed when I am not able to play this game because of this new F*cking new way to harm us wareZz leechers

Ok , OF COURSE HALF LIFE 2 WILL HAVE STORY! Its very original also!
Its go like this , after , all what happened in HL 1 , (Gordon kick monsters/soldiers ass , killed main enemy/boss whatever) now he is back in research facility! Now , that is only begging , cause , there is bunch of evill secientist , in conection with evil ex- military special forces officers , they havent got any sense in life , so they , together createrd what.?
Answer for 1 000 000 $ is? EVIL MONSTERS!!
But they didint count on one thing...Gordon is not only a scientist ..he is also ex NINJA/NAVY SEAL/KUNG FU SHAOLIN PRIEST/VAMPIRE HUNTER/LORD OF PIMPS ... and he is on the rampage...he seeks revenge....he will win ...or die trying.......he is angry now.....unarmed or armed..and dangerous......get ready-----HL2 is coming....GORDON IS BACK..evil never dies...but Gordon lives aslo.

Eh? What are you saying? The Source engine it's written from scratch and it isn't the HL1 engine updated, the HL1 engine was a high modified version of the Quake II engine. Informing before talking.

no.

Just send the activation card in.
Its still a waste of time for retailers.

Lets say you buy it from a store

Then you get home and you say "Fuck..i have to ask Valve to activate it"

Then you say "Fuck...i have no internet so i have to send this activation card in".

Then you say "Fuck....i dont have any stamps" (unless you do it online)

Then afew days later its the same old crap and you say "Fuck me dead....ive been waiting days to play this game".



Anyway the other and much quicker way would be to unplug your computer, take it to a friends house that has the internet, register it, and be on your way.
BUT ITS STILL INCONVINIENT!
I just bought the steam version because of this just so i can have it activated within the first second of Nov 16 Smile

I understand valve dont want their game pirated but this way just sucks, even tho i dont know of any other way that suits both parties.

i still havent found any shred of info about having to register the retail version online, only that you have to activate your steam-copy, which is kinda obvious really...
if somebody has a link to that rumor, please post it, else its only more FUD cropping up

IF you buy HL2 from steam then you cant play HL2 offline Steam is required every time you wanna play to log in first.

But if you buy it in stores all you gotta do is to register and you can play it even if your connection goes down.

not to sound like an ass or anything, but how the hell do you write this without internet? just connect your computer to your current connection problem solved, or better yet: install halflife 2 on your current computer and package it and burn it and bring it to your home computer, again problem solved.

Hmm the Doom 3 gold thread got to 127 pages - I wonder if this will beat it.

Also, regarding the activation thing, who the fuck doesn't have an internet connection but has a computer that is capable of playing HL2?! I would guess there is absolutely noone on the face of the earth in that situation.
