Free Op4? Created 20 years ago2004-07-02 05:57:34 UTC by Crusader_bin

yeah, i have steam and i've always wanted to know why it recognized my cd-key as "hl generation pack" becouse i have plat. version (hl+cs). I just wanted to know is it a gift from valve that i can use steams Op4, or is that a bug? I'll be more funny if it's a bug Anyway if Op4's free that's a little stupid, becouse it's worth something. (damn, why condition zero is not free, eh )

It's probably a bug - a happy bug!

No, it seems to be free. I haven't installed OpFor from the 'gen pack and I can play it on Steam.

but i have no generation pack, i have normal game-of-the-year cd-key. well it used to be. steam client recognized it as a generation pack cd-key. don't know, but anyway no problem for me

Game of the year CD key is the same as Generation pack CD key...

I have an original copy of hl from 1999 without all the generations stuff added....

...I get op4 free....I'm guessing its a gift lol

Oh I had already bought it as well btw

yeah, its free but you cant play mp with it

yep u can

All you need is a HL cd-key, a OP4 cd-key or a CS retail cd-key and you can download any Steam game for free.

OpFor multiplay and most of the mods like Ricochet and DMC/TFC came with CS 1.5 in the download, and DoD switched over to steam support, so the only real full games you get are HL (no hi-def) and CS 1.6. I suppose Valve/GB threw in the SP game as a way to show support to either the people who purchased it or as a free gift to the people who supported Half-Life or CS, since it's truly a great mod.

Hmm, interesting you only need one CD key though. Someone could pick up OpFor for near free (Last time I checked, $0.99) at the used games store and just D/L Half-Life for free with Steam.

i never bought orginal game in my life... so sad... :

prolly a gift to butter us up cause they're gonna make us pay 2 play hl2 or somin.

Of course we'll have to pay to play HL2. It will be worth every penny I pay for it, I'm hoping. It certainly looks like it.
