It probably has something to do with the value being overwritten. There used to be a bug where valve.rc and some other source-specific files would be overrided by their GCF copies in the CSS beta. They fixed it and now I guess it needs (I used needs subjectively of course :p) 'un-fixing'.

I understand what everyone is on about, its not the greatest idea needing to connect to the net, but honestly, in this day an age, if you can afford a $130 game you can afford a $20 net connection. If not, you sure as hell cant afford the cost for the hardware to run it. I cant say I blame valve, all the pirates out there, someone had to do something eventually, I probably would have done the same thing.

Just my 2cents.

Is not baseless since the warez version have a problem with the AI behavior because a bad patched file.

It seems to me that you used the God mode since you are not supposed to be alive to destroy the turrets, thats why that part is hard, because you need to do it in a clean way.

You do realize that it impossible to create piracy protection that works. Connect to the internet to play was not a great idea. There are versions of the game going around that don't even need connection to Steam. What I'm trying to say is that stoping piracy is a futile effort.

It's not futile, they are just going about it wrong... the 20,000 serial code trap was amazing ( :laugh: ) But of course the version that does not require steam is floating about (with AI problems) which is a cause for concern.

I thought that it may have been cheaper to download the game, rather than buying it retail... I noticed on the Steam site, that the HL2 bronze package is $49, which roughly equates to about ?30ish, but you can get the retail dvd for around ?26....

Surley its better to have the hard copy.. thought I might be saving a few quid downloading it!!!...:cry:y:
