    Going Free to the next person who replies in this thread with the answer to a simple question.

    Do you really want it?

    Remember you need a steam account and most likely will need broadband or access to it.

    That's all I have though, my spare Episode 1 went many moons ago.

    Feel free to PM me your Steam ID page if you want it and I'll gift it over Steam tomorrow.

    if you type in your cd key for half life 1 into steam it gives you about 10 games including opposing force, counter strike, blue shift, team fortress 1, death match.
    might only work with partcular versions of the game...worked for me anyways.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 261 ✭✭Liathroidi Dana


    How come everybody has spare half-lifes...?

    If anybody were to have even more spare copies, i'll be more than happy to take these off your hands.

    Hell if anybody has a free anything, I'd love top have it!

    I assume most people would be like me and bought Half-Life 2 and then got the Orange box when it came out, which had Half-Life 2 as part of it as well.

    You can get it free if you have an ATI or an nVidia GPU (which is fairly likely if you can play the game).

    Those are the Mods for HL1 that Valve released free before steam, and then started selling as stand alone games when steam was made.

    It's HL1, HL:BS, OpFor, HL:DM (which is integrated nocy into the actual HL game main menu {Load game, Find server etc.}), CS1.6, DoD1.5, TFC1.5, Ricochet, and access to the Steam Works CS1.6 Beta (which is crap as you have to have a server specifically for the beta. Most servers just stick with normal CS)

    You get ALL these of you can enter a valid Half life 1 CD key into steam, or can buy a legit one off an online store

    hi guys

    sorry to look like a troll, I had been reading for a while, this is my first post

    I would like a copy of hl2 game, I need it because I require the source engine for my faceApi \ head tracking research

    regards


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,220 ✭✭✭CyberWaste


    Id love a free copy of it if anyones offering :p, never payed Half life 2. thanks


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    That bastard game, I got it when it came out and it's locked to an old steam account. I've contacted steam over the years but have never gotten any reply, I've even sent them on photos of the box and code. I still try to avoid any steam games to this day and haven't been able to play half life 2 despite having the legal copy right here beside me.

    **** you steam, and **** you valve!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1 An Irish Odst


    I would love to play Half life 2, If you can I Would like to have it :)
