Re: HL2 -Which One Will You Get?
 

that's what I understand too. I don't think they will force you to install Steam, at least as long as you don't want to go multiplayer or upgrade like TruB says.

Re: HL2 -Which One Will You Get?
 

Ahh... that would be good news indeed. I just had a look at recently uploaded screenshots, and I gotta say it looks more than nice. Very realistic level design and great atmosphere.

Heyyo,

I'd go for standard edition. N' as for hl2 no steam? I'm sure that steamlessproject site will think of something. As long as you buy the game, it's morally ok I say. :)

And as for HL1: source, I diddn't hear aboot it at all untill you mentioned it huntkillaz. Is it HL1 singleplayer campaign maps just converted to HL2 Graphics, etc?

So I'm guessing for HL1: source, you could get it online through steam, just like HL1 n' opposing forces?

Heyyo,

I hope they make Sven Coop for HL2, cause tha's awesome, n' maybe a bot to go with it? *coughs* RCbot? *coughs* 9_9

Re: HL2 -Which One Will You Get?
 

yes they will.. i can conferm that.. they actually got special support from valve..

Re: HL2 -Which One Will You Get?
 

My guess is that the retail boxed store versions of the game will have options provided by the installer application, such as:

1. Install into current Steam installation, for those who already have Steam running.
2. Install the Steam core so the game may be run, but no Steam functionality as far as multiplayer support goes.
3. Install all of Steam (not meaning all the currently supported games, just all of Steam with SP and MP functionality) and the game.

steam sucks majorly

Re: HL2 -Which One Will You Get?
 

I think I have an idea..
what if we just licence the engine like that other company and just make our own game using the engine without steam :D

Like that new game from Troika, Vampire Bloodlines.
