and then install on gaming pc

Take your pc to somewhere with an internet connection.

Get it working on the network there.

Install Steam.

If you purchased a retail version of HL2, then install and validate your files, then get all the updates.

If you purchased HL2 via steam, then just let steam do the rest for you

ok but i dont want to set the gaming pc up for internet use
ie anti virus/firewall etc

You dont have to. Just download the stuff you need from Steam and disconnect it.

really
its a wonder anyone uses the net at all lol
just connect to the net but don't open a browser
only open steam - let it update fully
open all your games one at a time while online and close them to make sure it worked
reboot and unplug the internet

Would you rather other users try to figure out which part of the post i'm adressing?

Anyway, if you don't want to hook your pc up to the internet, then you don't get to play HL2. Simple as that.

And I don't get what you're talking about, "Oh well, it's different here in england". It's all the same internet man.

Just turn on windows firewall, update steam, disconnect. I do it all the time [for windows updates] when i've reformatted and haven't installed my AV programs and such.

thanks man
simple answer
but it took a while
