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.
