half life 2 takes ages to update

[titaniummonkey]

i've just bought half life 2 silver off of steam but when i try to play on it it says it id updating and says ready to play in 268 minutes. Why is it taking so long? is there any way of playing Half life 2 without updating it? please help.

If you just bought it, then you won't have any of the game downloaded, so you're gonna have to wait while it downloads. Nothing you can do about that.
