So, I pre-ordered Half-Life 2...

[Mr. Peanuts]

and was wondering... Day of Defeat: Source? Will I be able to play that with the standard physical copy of Half-Life 2? It's just that on Steam, DoD: Source looks like it is only available to those who bought the Silver and Gold editions of Half-Life 2 through steam.

BTW- I sent Valve an email but they seem to be ignoring me.

[Dameon Angell]

It'll probably be a downloadable mod. I don't see why you should have to pay for that.

[Mr. Peanuts]

Well, they haven't decided whether it will be P2P or not yet.

[Dameon Angell]

If we get screwed cause we don't wanna buy HL2 through Steam, then FUCK Valve.

[Mr. Peanuts]

Fuck Gabe Newell too.

[froedrick]

If you don't pre-order HL2 then you'll have to pay for DoD: source when it comes out. Which is gay. But if you do pre order, steam will d/l it for you. Btw peanut. ever want to get owned in DoD, just drop me a line

[Mr. Peanuts]

I used to be a big DoD fan, I have kinda strayed from it recently, but sure, I'll give you a shout.

[cundor]

DoD?

[1ight]

Edit: nvm

I should pre-order it too..

[Ewan]

DoD?

They're talking about the Department of Defense

On a more serious note, I ordered HL2 from a computer games store (Game)over a year ago (before it's release was set back by the code being leaked). Does this mean that when I get it, I will have to pay for CS: Source?

[Mr. Peanuts]

No, you will definitely get CS: Source, but I don't know about DoD: Source.

[Mr. Peanuts]

Nope, I'm afraid you don't get DoD: Source with HL2 retail, I guess I'll have to buy it separately.

[1ight]

wtf , that just sucks.

[Desperate]

Is the new CS (Source?) free if you don't pre-order HL 2?

[Mr. Peanuts]

It either comes with HL2 with all packages e.g. Bronze, Silver, Gold and Collectors Edition, or you can buy it singularly through Steam.

I've seen some videos of Source with the map cs_office, where you can shoot the Dell PCs apart in so many ways, damn good stuff, I say
