Doug Lombardi - Half-Life 2 Q & A - 22.10.04

  Email to a friend




After fans were given the news that Half Life 2 went gold, Gamespy sent a few questions in the direction of Valve's Doug Lombardi.

Q. Will the boxed versions of HL2 require any sort of Steam installations?

Doug Lombardi: During installation the user will be prompted to authenticate the copy and create a Steam account. After that is complete, the single-player and LAN games do not require an Internet connection.

Q. When will the tools be released for the mod community?

Doug Lombardi: Now that development on the game is done, a number of engineers are preparing the first version of the Source SDK for release. I don't have an exact date for when this will be available, but it shouldn't be too much longer and will send out word when I have an ETA.
