Well yeah, Steam is totaly intigrated and all. But lets say you just formated your computer. With the CDs you could install Steam & HL2 without downloading the Steam slient. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Condition Zero retail didn't need internet. It used the same interface a Steam game uses, but it didn't need Internet, or having Steam installed, or anything strange...
If it came with the game, then it should have a CD-Key with it as well. Look inside the CD Case/Sleeve for a strip of paper with the key, or printed on the back of the case/sleeve.
Soon, with Half Life and the second Half Life , I will be able to taste the joys of having a (full) life everyone's been talking about, while wearing a t-shirt of HL²!

Actually, you'd have a three-quarter life. After all, (1/2)^2 == 1/4, plus 1/2 makes 3/4. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

If anything, you'll have even less of a life with Half-Life^2.
Also, this is not a balanced equation... it's not Half-Life^2=0, it's simply a value statement. So you can't derive any correlation between the 1/2 and Life.

Not a difficult choice for me. It's gotta be <span style='color:gray'>Silver</span>. Steam purchases get CS: Source next week(and the other Source things if they're finished first), and retail ones have to wait until whenever HL2 comes out. And who knows whether or not the other Source mods are free with retail(I'm not paying $30 extra for the overpriced Collector's Edition). I'm sure Vivendi isn't happy with this deal at all. Also, if they try to withhold the retail version now they'll just lose half their sales when Valve releases it over Steam.
Do we know yet if Half-Life 2 is going to include its own multiplayer(i.e. HL2DM), or is Counter-Strike going to be the only online play that ships with the game?

O.o
There is no SP pack anymore. If you don't have the internet then you'll probably have to use public internet or telephone to register your game.
I don't have internet on that pc yet, and i'm not installing it on this one. what are you supposed to do to get the key?
Soon, with Half Life and the second Half Life , I will be able to taste the joys of having a (full) life everyone's been talking about, while wearing a t-shirt of HL²!
ah, the power of math
As it's Half-Life² , meaning (Half Life) squared.
1/2 ² Life ²
Lives being positive, you have 1/4 Lives squared. A life is thus the root of 1/4 so 1/2
I might get a life!!
(1/2^2) - (Life^2) == 1/4 - Life^2 == -(Life^2) + 1/4
If anything, you'll have even less of a life with Half-Life^2.
Also, this is not a balanced equation... it's not Half-Life^2=0, it's simply a value statement. So you can't derive any correlation between the 1/2 and Life.
