OK!! I'm thinking of getting HL2 so I can play all the GOOD stuff in it (half life isn't good ;D) So I saw this Episode one and Episode 2 and I don't understand what does it mean. Here how it goes: Along time ago I bought a normal half life from a store (not from steam) before HL2 and when I put the CD key in steam I had all the games: Counter strike, Team fortress classic, Deathmatch Classic, Ricochet, Half life: Blue shift, Opposing Force and Day Of Defeat. So I wanted to ask if I buy Half life 2 (not the episodes) from a store will I get all the Source games as well (CS: Source, Team Fortress 2 etc...)

Not unless you buy the appropriate package.

What do you mean by package? THE ORANGE BOX?! It didn't work like that on HL1 when I bought it

Uhm, last I checked you can still buy Half-Life by itself. There are little collector packs or whatever though. Same goes for HL2 I think (I know I've seen it). Just look for one of those.

What game do you exactly need? It'll help if you tell us.

EDIT: Oh I get what you mean. You bought a package from a store called Half-Life: Generation pack. I bought that one too. If you buy Half-Life 2, however, you will not get all those games, because Half-Life 2 is a relatively new game, and that generation pack is filled with old games that aren't that popular anymore. That's why it has so many games.

Half-Life 2 by itself goes for about $20. The Orange Box (which includes Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episode One, Half-Life 2: Episode 2, Team Fortress 2 and Portal) for the PC is around $40.

However, if you want to buy all the Source games, you'll have to dish out $80 or so for the "Source Premier Pack" on Steam - http://www.steampowered.com/v/index.php?area=game&AppId=220

You get all the luck XD.

All I bought was HL:2 by CD. So much easier.

Hate to be a perfectionist but shouldn't this be in gaming?

Buy Half life 2 and get CSS for free with it (At least, that was when I bought Half life 2, 4 years ago). Buy Team Fortress 2 stand alone. Then you got all the games you want. Problem solved.

Get off my couch
Find someone with a Credit card and buy what you want from steam

However if you want to play the full HL2 SP story buy orange box. Since it gives you HL2, Episode 1, Episode 2

Plus you get TF2

Then it gives you awesomeness in the form of Portal

You will need to buy DoD and I'm pretty sure CSS comes with HL2 every time
