Go to SteamApps\account name\half-life 2\hl2\cfg
There is a file named Valve.rc in there so open it and comment out this line:
startupmenu
It looks like this now:
// display the startup level
startupmenu
Make it look like this:
// display the startup level
//startupmenu
What does it do?
This prevents the game from spawning a server to load the background and establishing a TCP/UDP listenport on port 27015.
Since I did this I can load to the main menu within 10 seconds after the Valve logo (I bypass logo anyway by pushing tilde).
