Halflife 2= Steam?

[super gerbil]

is halflife 2 gonna be using steam?

If it is I hope it will be a better steam

i believe it will have steam on it. i remember reading when half life 2 comes out you can buy it over the internet and download it instead of going to a store. (i think)

which makes me wonder im sure half life 2 is going to be a big game, how would a steam member save a game?

certainly will only be one option for me (in store). (26.4k dialup)

I rather buy it then dl it. Takes too much time dl

What about my house hold. 4 people in my house have vouchers from HL2. I wonder if we will have to download it 4 times?!

yes HL2 will be associated with steam mainly for the updates and game server list features. You will be able to buy HL2 in store or on the internet. I personally like steam and the concept but it could have been implimented better. Bandwidth is their main problem causing lots of headaches on update days. Now if they incoorperated some sort of volluntary bit torrent system that would help alot.

What do you mean? Once you d/l it it installs like a normal CD game.

Doubt it. You can probably d/l once and then copy it, all you need are the four CD keys.
