Half-Life 2 Gold details...

[coZ]

Hey all i am an ATI coupon holder and have preloaded all of the "Preloads" onto my PC.. my question is if i purchace the HL2 Gold pack over steam am i still able to preload HL2 or do they get disabled and get deleted???

Im trying to figure out if i will have to wait for the retail pack to arive at my door or can i just start playing when it hits retail and recive the GOLD pack when ever...

Thanks guys...

Damn that post title is very misleading...

I thaught it was about hl2 going gold...

 

[frusion]

unfortunatly u dont get a cd...its just the media files which u have preloaded on your computer...the things you ordered in your GOLD package will come 6-8 weeks as steam has said.

As soon as it's available for play, you can immedietly play it.

Gold isnt really worth it... i might go silver for hl1 and dod source... :dozey:

"immediatly" as in, as soon as its gold? or as soon as its retail?

Steam users get to play HL2 the second its retail so at 12:00AM the day it goes retail is the exact date it goes live on steam from what I herd... :bounce:

[7hoR]

yes...and they probably have to wait for the pacific also bc thats the 'earliest' time zone in the us
