Half-Life 2 compressed is 2Gb, and right now we're all downloading a 500mgbs pre-load file. So that would mean that if half-life 2 went gold and we only had this pre-load, we still need to download 1.5Gbs, which would defeat the whole purpose of having a pre-load to free up bandwidth...

macromp said:anyone know how it's gonna be activated? i've got my free copy coupon thing with my graphics card...do i still have to send that off or can i just download it with steam then use that to activate it? if i send it off it says 'allow 4-6 weeks for delivery'...there's no way i'm doing that.
