I just bought Halflife 2 and I installed it with the 5 discs. Then a program called "Steam" made me make an account. I made the account and whenever I click on the Halflife 2 icon on my desktop, Steam pops up. It doesn't have any option to start a new game or play online, it says I need to purchase the game.. which I have already done.
