We're at 3.34 GB now

[A.I.]

And all we need now is maps, I guess, and the game will be complete. The file with maps will activate the game for sure we can see this from this sentence from the news on steampowered.com.

No purchase is required to pre-load Half-Life 2, but is required to activate the game.

If the game, as it was told is 3.5 GB big, we're not very far away. Oh, no, wait. Did Gabe say that HL2 is 3.5 Gig big with no CS:S and the rest of the junk?

2.46GB without the CS:S *.gcf's...either way...its close!!!!soooo close(finally!!)

 

[r1y23]

its with cs:s they preloaded the rest of it a few days ago

 

[BlackMesaDude]

yeah....

 

[Asuka]

We have probably around 1 more gig but thats nothing. Wow ill say it again. Hl2 = SUPER CLOSE! ! !

 

[VGJosh]

700MB * 6 CDs = 4.2GB.

So one more large download and then we'll have to download something to un-encrypt it.

 

[Shodan]

Surely when its ready you go on steam and its decrypts through that?

I would think so yes. They've probably made the whole "buying off Steam" -process the most user friendly you could ever imagine

The last cd might not be full....

 

[Robinhood_01]

We'll probably download the last Gig while we wait for our credit card transaction to go through

 

[Dead-Inside]

700MB * 6 CDs = 4.2GB.

So one more large download and then we'll have to download something to un-encrypt it.

The last CD is never full. And if that includes CS:S then it's *2* CDs that are not a full 700 mb.
