Milking the cow it seems

Glad i've only bought half-life, grants access to all the content in their collection - but of course, if the ordinary customer doesn't know, no reason to tell him

... And get your asses done with Lost Coast already :\ Bought DoD:S to see HDR (I know... you launched it first on purpose) and i never liked the game Give me candy, now!

 

[Varsity]

They exist because of the switch from VU to EA. VU stopped making them a month ago.

 

[CookieCuttah]

And because everyone loves money

 

[CrazyJeepDriver]

Hmm... I wonder how much its going to be

 

[Cypher19]

Sounds like HL2:Silver w/o the HL1 mods (only the expansion packs).

 

[Feuyaino]

And without the HL2, sounds like.

So how are these people meant to buy HL2? Does this mean they can play HL2DM and CSS mods, but not Half Life 2 mods?

They will be able to play HL2 mods if they own HL2.

Lol on their site it says goto where you are for more info, any got a pic of the backcover?

 

[A.I.]

Well, well, VALVe turned into corporation...

 

[bigdeezy23]

My God, Half-Life will be the only game to never reach Abandonware status.

 

[Funky Munky]

Is HL:Antohology the high definition version of those games?

If so I might buy it. I can't see it costing more than 30 bucks.

 

[Cadix]

I just bought the game, but i can't play CS from it? wtf??

I've just installed the HL Anthology and it doesn't appear to have included the High definition pack.

Read the box next time.

Theres a reason why CS is a seperate anthology from HL
