Let's see if I cracked the code
Possibility 1: How do I get my Half-Life verified, to play ESF
If I'm not mistaken I think there's a place where that is explained, and I think you also don't need to do that if you want to play the game, you just have to do that so that everyone in the forum doesn't automatically hate you if you ask questions about the final version of the game, or make suggestions about it, which they will anyway, since they don't take any of those any more or else the game will get 'feature creeped' out of both existence and oblivion.
Possibility 2: How do I download and play ESF
Once again search the forum it's a nasty sticky somewhere (that means it never goes away, ever) that explains it all.
I got nothing else. Im'a nap!
