I did a breif search, and didn't find an answer to my question, but I was reading another thread about downloading half-life 2 over steam as many times as you'd like (seeing that you payed for it), a reply said that most likely if you are at a friends house and you download it over there, only one of you will be able to play at a time (assuming he was talking about multiplayer). Then a question came to mind, will you be able to play Half-life2 offline? seeing how you can't run steam offline, to play lan or bots.

So my question is, will you be able to play Half-life2 if you are not connected to the internet?

because in the past they said they were going to release a single player only version for people that do not plan to play online or do not have a fast connection, so assuming if you get the regular package it will require the use of steam.

Also, when you buy half-life 1 now, you don't have to install the CD, you can just download steam and enter your CDkey and have access to CS, DOD, HL, etc.. Will the half-life2 cdkeys allow access for all the old half-life online mods, or just half-life2 related content? and if not, will your steam account tie into two cdkeys? or will you have to use two different accounts to manage your games?
