Offline play

[Cheddarhead]

Hey, new here...

I just bought hl2 goty edition. I paid fifty bucks for it... is it not possible to play single player offline??? I click on any of the game launch links and it just launches steam. I want to play the game and figure it out before I connect to steam, if ever. Can anyone tell me how to play hl2 single player offline??

Thanks

right heres the scoop
1. update all of your steam games fully while connected to the internet (this can take a while) - the only ones that matter are halflife, halflife source, halflife 2, counterstrike source and halflife 2 deathmatch
2. open and close all of these games simultaneously once they are at 100% - you can check this by right clicking on the game name in the steam menu and looking ar properties
also change the option in steam settings to stop steam starting when windows starts
3. Restart your computer WITHOUT EXITING THE INTERNET OR STEAM

Make sure you are disconnected from the internet and start steam - you are now able to play all your games offline
