Ripped from Steam site ... Half-Life 2 Pre-Loading Phase 4 September 27, 2004, 6:12 pm � valve The fourth phase of the Half-Life 2 preload begins to Steam account holders today.
This will allow users to download the majority of Counter-Strike: Source in encrypted form. No purchase is required to pre-load Half-Life 2, but is required to activate the game. The moment the game is made available, those who have pre-loaded and purchased the game via Steam will be ready to start playing.
