WORST INSTALLER MESSAGE EVER!!!!!
to take adavntage of steams features your valve games and any other mods you have installed will be converted to the steam format and stored in your steam directory.
after this conversion process your computer will need to be connected to the internet to play any steam games.
if you do not have an internet connection then press cancel to exit this installer, otherwise press continue.
so thats that then!, no HL2 for me!, maybe in a few years when they release it on budget and remove the DUMB steam garbage, sod!!!.
<SUPERRANT WARNING
I hate it!, I can`t believe it!, the CD installer says it`s gonna remake all my valve games (HL, Gunman Chronicles, Blue shift, Opposing force etc) into steam format, and then I have to be online every time I play a freaking valve game???????????????? on a laptop?, in the middle of nowhere with no net when I go out working on site? (we have to do something evenings)
sod this, I knew it was gonna be a heap of c**p, taking it back tommorow, they can stuff HL2, every time some greedy git goes over the top <RANT RAGE SCREAM!!!!!!!>
