<i>Valve Software wants to make sure you get only as much of Half-Life 2 as you want to play. The developer is planning to ship separate versions of the first-person shooter later this month as well as offer various purchase options through Steam (the company's broadband platform for the delivery of digital content). Three retail versions will appear in stores at different price points. One will contain the single-player game but lack multiplayer content and mod support.

This mass market product will be sold at places such as Wal-Mart. Another will contain Half-Life 2's single- and multi-player components as well as full mod support. It will be sold at places like GameStop and Electronics Boutique. The third will be the Collector's Edition - which Valve says will contain plenty of bonus materials. Steam users will be able to purchase Half-Life 2 outright or buy it on subscription. The buy-it-once crowd will have to pay separately for expansion products.</i>


That I like since I don't do online gaming.

OH SWEET!

so for puzzlesolving parts, you gotta sleeve a PSU to get past the last stage? that is soo cool
a game that thinks outside the box and makes you complete mods to move on

Oops, clumsy me.

Fixed now

I personally do not like the idea...

what if you want just SP VER so you go and buy it

but later you want the MP and the mod suport

do you have to rebuy it with the MP suport

me

Yeah I'm not sure I like that idea. I rather have it all in one box.

You can buy the whole thing in one box, just costs more. Selling it 3 different ways.
