Is CS:S included in the orange box free gifts?

[SIN55]

If I already own HL2/CS:S, HL2 Episode 1, and I just bought the Orange Box, will the free gift of HL2 include Counter-Strike: Source??

I mean, does CS:S still come with Half-Life 2 on steam? Thank you.

No, and people keep asking this all the time. Isn't that hard to check.

I did check, and there's nothing on this forum about it. It isn't that hard to be polite, either.

whats in the orange box is as it is. the packs have changed over the years on what games are in each.

the answer to your question is no though

Thanks, because it was in my understanding that CS:S was HL2's official multiplayer component.

Yeah, it was more of a package thing.
I wondered the same thing a while after HL2 had been released but it just took one stop at the steampowered.com store front to see it not listed together anymore.
CSS packages
HL2 packages
OB games

It sucks for me, because I'll have to rebuy CSS *cries*
