halflife 2 anyone want it?

Post by Jaera » 26 Nov 2008, 18:13

i have a spare copy of halflife 2 on steam as i bought the orange box a while ago. anyone want it? you will need to download steam if you dont have it already. but its the full version.

basically works by sending the game to your email address or something. then you can download it thru steam

I have Orange box too, but I didn't know you could resell games that have been bought on Steam. That's very good news - makes the DRM concept tolerable...

i already had halflife 2 when i bought orange box and as hl2 comes with the orange box i had 2 copies. so i could give one away.

you cant give ones you only have one of away.

Yeh, steam lets you give duplicate games as gifts.

I've got a HL2 and Ep1 spare too if anyone wants them.

Was it possible to buy a gift without owning the game?

ah well in that case i dont mind to get a copy of HL2 and HL2-ep1, that way i only have to get HL2-ep2 right?

i'm wondering if there will be an next ep soon and when.

Ok, you can have my ep 1 and Rhia still had a hl2 copy. What's your steam name?

And yep, you then only have to get ep2 separately. I just bought the orange box because it was still cheaper than buying 2 games of the set or so. You also got tf2, portal and ofc all the hl2 episodes.

hehe, i should change that "holland" :P i always swap them and actually i dont know when to write holland, i just put it down

anyways i was just digging up my old account and while i did that i was looking around in the shop and i wondered why i shouldnt buy that orange box too :D

Edit- seems like you can only buy from steam when you have a credit card wich i dont have... well then i wont

edit 2- found a way do it after all and bought it so you have to find another one :lol:

Oh sure, that copy of hl2 you can offload then. I'll send him my ep1, since I don't have an extra hl2 copy.
