Some time ago I baught HL2 via steam. However a few weeks ago I had to reformat my computer, and lost all my steam games.
Since HL2 is 3.6GB big, and I don't want to download that much, I was wondering that if you buy episode 1 (in retail/DVD form), do you still have to download those 3.6gb again to play the original HL2? It uses the same engine etc. so I would assume that you could play HL2 if you have it "unlocked" in steam.
It sounds a bit confusing, but its simple. I dont have a hl2 cd. I dont want to re-download it from steam. I am willing to buy episode 1 if that enables me to play HL2 without downloading it all again (steam).
Help is very much appreciated.
