Does anyone know how to play HL2 without requiring an internet connection. I don't have the internet connected to my computer and Steam won't let me play otherwise. Does anyone know how to bypass Steam and play with going online? Please help, I really want to play it.

Start Steam in offline mode.

How do I do that? When I start, Steam starts asking me about my internet connection and of course I don't have one.

stop connecting, and there is an option at the login screen.. i think, if not, just let it keep trying to connect, it will eventually ask you if you want to login in offline mode (it does when my internet is down at least).

You have to have account information saved to your computer to get Offline mode to work.

Ironically, you need to be connected to the internet to enable Offline Mode

You have to disable your connection manualy for Steam to actually give you the option to start in offline mode...

That means you simply can't play HL2 without internet? Steam is a pain in the ass!

Yes you can.
Though you have to go online to change the options, so that Steam starts in offline mode next time.

so are you sure that it is possible to install, setup and play HL2 without EVER needing an internet connection.

It isn't unless somebody hacked Hl2 and made a non steam version which isn't very likely. You simply can't play Hl2 without internet, like I said!
You should try exchanging to wireless internet if you have more then one computer.(unless the computer you use to post here is your school's computer) They cost almost like regular internet and they can connect to two or more computers at the same time with no extra charge. Much better then paying for two connections.

I have to go into town and pay to use the internet at a computer shop. I have no way to connect to the internet at home. If I can't play HL2 it doesn't matter, I'll just have to be content with all the HL mods out there.

Just go to the shop, connect to the net, enable Offline Mode, restart Steam, and leave. Bam, HL2 is all yours.
