Why doesn't it seem to use the 'HD' pack from Blue shift?

Thanks

I'm mid way through 'We've Got Hostile's' at the mo, I'm getting sucked in again

 

[domthecondom]

Thank god for paypall it don't accept my solo

 

[the shadow]

Good to see you all picking it up

 

[Barrybear]

i got the source version is it worth getting the original version instead?

 

[apeZ]

Think I will pick this up later!

 

[Aod]

i have half life on another account to my main one, is there any way i can have a game transferred from one account of mine to another?

Yeah steam don't take maestro/solo. I have maestro so had to obviously use paypal. Works wonders it does.

If you buy this, does it give you the option to play the original mods like CS, Day of Defeat etc? I had a boxed copy on another account that would.

Anyone got an idiots guide how to do this if you purchase HL for a new account?

 

[Squark]

I'm happy that Steam remembers what you own, it's cool being able to download all the half-life games straight away, without having to hunt around for the disks again.

Maybe this 1 dollar half life love you long time offer is because they want to see what the sales of l4d could have been had it been a bit cheaper

economies of scale and all that yer know

That would explain the brief time span and the timing


I was going to buy but I still have the disks for hl generations and Ive never actually got round to playing any of it, I just got it for CS

Can I install it and use that HD upgrade mentioned in this thread or does that only update steam installations

 

[Tony Williams]

Anyone got CS, DoD with this? I used to get Gunman Chronicles for £5 and use that key and I'd get 'em all (hl1, cs, dod)

 

[silversurfer]

dod became a separate product at some point, cs should work still ?

 

[MeatLoaf]

Has anyone else been charged £1.50 fee for using a debit card? On my statenebt iuve been charged 80p for the game and £1.50 for using my debit card

It's probably also being used as a loss leader. Get people in because it's one of the greatest games ever made for £1, and then they spot other games and do a bit more shopping.

nope

play through the source one though

Is there such a thing as a loss leader when you're talking online distribution via Steam?!

 

[platypus]

Yeah of course there is, but its not really a "loss-leader" in the truest sense, since Half-Life will have made more profit then they would have ever projected.

It's not really though - a loss leader is something sold at or below cost. Half Life has already made a phenomenal profit. - even it was now given away free, it still couldn't be a loss leader, because the cost is nothing! The only costs incurred might be negligible ones via steam distribution, but that might equate to a few pence per download.
