Cost matter

[Darth_Paul]

Ok. I've installed the game and everything and created an account with steam and I just saw the purchase button. This freaked me out and I just need to know: Does it cost just to play Half Life 2 single player?

 

[The Brick]

Yes ofcourse it does, buy the game.

 

[Ennui]

Er, did you buy HL2?

 

[Darth_Paul]

I bought HL2 at Game and Ive installed it and everything. I just need to know what to do.

 

[Ennui]

Then it should be available to play on your Steam Games list. You can purchase a multitude of other games on Steam, which is why there is a Purchase button.

 

[Darth_Paul]

Ok.Thanks. I'll go mess around to see if I can start playing.

 

[Ennui]

While you're in the Steam browser, click on the "My Games" tab, and Half-Life 2 should be somewhere on the list. It may be greyed out - that just means it needs to patch/update, and it might have to download some stuff.

 

[Darth_Paul]

Ok. I must of done something wrong here. I double click on HL2 and it goes to the store tab...Sorry if I'm causing annoyance here.

 

[The Brick]

Did you follow all the instructions and activate the game?

 

[Ennui]

You may need to click "Activate a product on Steam..." and then type in your CDKEY.

 

[Darth_Paul]

Ok Thanks I didnt see the activation code. Its activating as we speak.

 

[Ennui]

Enjoy I'm completely jealous of you for being able to experience Half-Life 2 for the first time. I wish I could again

 

[bigburpco]

Yeah, the first time's is extremely important for HL2. Remember; don't rush it, and play on Hard (for more fun).

Have fun playing it.

 

[Darth_Paul]

Also, does it cost to play online like it does with some games. Because I have HL Deathmatch and I want to know please?

 

[Jintor]

Lolz, no. It costs to buy games to play online but if you already have them you should be set!

 

[Shasta]

Lolz, no. It costs to buy games to play online but if you already have them you should be set!

Err - there's HEAPS of games you have to buy, AND pay a monthly fee to play online. So what you said is not quite right at all. If you have any HALF-LIFE based Deathmatch games, THEY are free to play online.
