Downloading Half Life 2 from Steam

[perikolas]

My friend Paul registered his half life 2 retail version on his steam account. I was wondering if we can play half life 2 in my home with his steam account downloading Half life 2 from steam. I do not have a dvd rom player so i can not use the dvd.

Thanks

Yes, but depending on your connection it might take a while.
