Steam: Half-Life Games 75% off (HL2 $2.49, Eps 1 & 2 $1.99 Each, Half Life Complete $9.99) USD

660

Old game and most people probably have it, but if you haven't played it yet then $2.50 is an absolute bargain for the amount of gameplay - cheaper than a latte and will last a lot longer! All HL and HL2 games are 75% off.

    if only i could neg valve for abandoning half life 3 or at least making me wait a decade or two :(

    • +10

      As a Valve employee, all I can say is that Ricochet 2 will be available very soon.

      • +2

        that's nice, but please pass on the message to your bosses: WE WANT HALF-LIFE 3

        • +4

          WE WANT HALF-LIFE 3

          Not to worry, we'll be sure to include some references to the Half-Life sequel in our upcoming Ricochet 2 game, including HL2 themed skin and weapon DLC's.

      • Will it also be available for linux / mac at the same time?

  • +3

    I am so buying these. I pirated a copy years back and for my troubles my new laptop broke and then the disc was stolen during repair. Karma huh.

    Edit/ Bought complete.

    • +5

      Ah, I remember pirating games, back before Steam made it easier & more convenient to buy games than to pirate them.

      Movie industry, take note…

      • For me it was a case of not being able to buy them, I was in a rural town and had no stores near by that sold PC games. At least not newer PC games.

  • its a shame the counterstrike games are not discounted, looks like I'm purchasing cs go at full price $15 lol

    • +4

      Wait for the summer sale.

    • +1

      Other companies charge you $60 for games that are a lot worse, then proceed to charge you $15 for a 5 map DLC packs.

  • +14

    These games are available on Steam.
    Steam comes from water.
    Water's chemical composition is H^2, O^1
    That's three molecules…
    They're trying to tell us HL3 still about to release.

    • +7

      Three atoms. One molecule.

      They will also release a bundle pack.

      • +3

        Are you guys the script writers for national treasure? I can almost see nick cage saying that.

        • The nation of the USoA has 51 states. 5+1=6. Some people spend their lives looking for treasure. Half of 6 is 3. megaphat has confirmed Half Life 3.

  • Should I just go balls deep and be a big spender for the $10 complete pack or just settle for the $2.50 HF2.

    Decisions, decisions.

    • +1

      Go complete, Ep 1 and 2 will take you to $9 anyway. I enjoyed those in Orange Box.

      • +2

        You sir are a good salesman.

        • +8

          You sir are an easy mark ;)

  • Does the 2.49$ half life 2 package come with both episode 1 and episode 2?

    • nope

  • great find, such good value. Seems the Steam server is getting hammered at the moment though as the purchase keeps erroring, but no drama

  • +6

    This deal appeared on Ozbargain on 10/07/2013.
    10-7=3
    2+0+1+3=6, 6 is divisible by 3.

    Confirmed.

      10-7+2-0+1-3=3

  • I didnt spend much time with HL2 when I bought the Orange Box. Portal was amazing though and I spent nearly 200 hours with Team Fortress 2. I never really understood the fuss about Half Life though. Especially the last batch of levels of HL1 which were absolute crap.

    • +1

      Wha…. I don't even…

      HL1 post Xen was pretty scary and awesome. Eerie as fsck. The jumping puzzles did get a bit excessive. :)

      • HL1 post-Black Mesa*

  • +4

    Orange Box was the single best gaming purchase I ever made, even at full price years ago. Half-life, Team Fortress 2 and Portal all rank amongst the best games I've played in my 30 years as a gamer

    • +3

      I've been playing games almost as long as you and I absolutely agree. Not just talking about dollar value, - I already had original Half-Life 2 at the time I got the Orange Box. I'm talking about getting a pack where every game is a classic, and you play every one of them thoroughly.

      HL2 is not without its faults but it was/is a genre-defining master class in single-player FPSes, I played countless hours of TF2 through its various incarnations, and Portal was mind-blowing. Just don't play it hungover - I had to stop and walk away :)

  • Had a good feeling this was gonna be on special soon. Believe it not haven't played HL2. In for a good weekend methinks

  • +1

    Considering how this deal expires on a Thursday (using American time for this), and how Summer Sales generally begin on Thursdays, we'll most likely see the big deals and the event itself go on once this Half-Life promotion has ended.

    But this is just me with my tin-foil hat on.

  • +1

    Also the Need for Speed games are on sale (ranging from $2.99 to $5.99) and Burnout Paradise Ultimate Box ($5.99)

    • Of course those prices are US only. I was interested in Shift 2 - on special for $5.99. BUT for us lucky Aussies it's only $23.99!

  • +5

    Am i the only one who cant wait for the summer steam sales.

    • +2

      I used to like them, now I already own the games I want on steam…

      Who can be bothered waiting until the summer sales, I guess there might be an indie game I didn't know about.

    • +1

      And there I was…staying up on the 4th of July to make sure I don't miss any of their Flash sales. :|

      • Yeah its best not predict what steam will do hahaha.

    • As a Steam noob I'm happy to wait for sales. In fact I'm becoming a tight wad in PlayStation gaming also due to the massive backlog and Plus.

  • -3

    dw I saw Half Life 3 confirmed on many facebook post and youtube comments,
    it'll arrive!

  • Half-life 2 is a bargain considering can resell your trading cards for 28-30cents each (4 x 25cent profit), so in reality its only $1.50

    • What trading cards are you referring to?

      • On steam, about 10 games support trading card games, the games drops 3-4 cards over 1-4 hours. They can then be sold on the market for 28 cents to $4 (foils).
        Or can collect cards for silly profile and chat icons, really not worth investing time/money into.

        I have made about $12 over last fortnight.

        • I got 6 cards on HL2 in two hours.

    • I was selling them for up to 80cents each only the other day (less than a week ago)

  • I want this but I'm scared to buy it. I purchased the recent Serious Sam humble bundle and I am truly addicted .. usually I rarely play games.

  • Would it better to wait for the Orange Box to go on sale, or to get HL:Complete and then just buy Portal in the summer sale?

    • +1

      This has a lot more content that TOB but doesn't of course have Portal.

      Playing HL2 now, can't believe this game is 9 years old. Looks great.

  • Yeah I have orange box on xbox and seriously contemplating whether I need the complete edition as well…
