Isn't the offline installer for the cd version supposed to do the same thing? At least the nfo says so.

This is ONLY for people who did NOT have their internet connection
active during the installation of Half-Life 2 and Steam. |

I too would like a confirmation of this since I can't seem to figure out if I can greate a .gcf of it to work with the first vng release. I wonder why a group just doesn't release the CE DVD.
So if it doesn't then technically this isn't the "retail DVD".

lol, i knew someone was gonna mention something like "why don't you do it yourself then?".
it must be insanely hard to download the game trough steam & rar up your installation dir. *rolls eyes*
the fix/crack afterwards wasn't even released by them. just some iND guy.
besides, just cause it worked for you doesn't mean it worked for everyone, if you read the emporio thread you'd see what an enormous mess it was.
i have every right to bash emporio, i dislike groups that cause enormous scene chaos ( = not using scene standards, they're there for a reason you know) just so they can take credit for releasing a popular game.
i didn't even download the emporio release, it's the principle of things. (ofcourse i followed every forum etc to read how annoyed 99% of the people were)
what i'm saying is, they should have just done NOTHING.
everything would have been fine besides the usual whining "when is it gonna be out?!".
PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE.

and a big FUCK YOU to emporio for causing such an enormous mess.
seriously though, patience is a virtue. both vengeance releases work like a charm.
instead of just waiting for a group with actual crackers to release the game, everyone went crazy when emporio ( = newb irc team that hardly even knows how to *pack* their release, let alone *crack* it) brought out their shitty, downloaded trough steam, version. which brought 15.000 fixes with it & a whole lot of bullshit.
sorry for ranting, had to get that off my chest  |
You are such an asshole EMPORiO was the first one to release CS Source fully fonctional and they were the first to release HL2 that needed 1 fix....VENGEANCE released HL2 nearly 2 weeks after so if it wasnt from EMPORiO there will be a shit load of threads such as "wheres HL2", "why HL2 is not released", "Scene groups sucks cause they cant release a game", "Wheres reloaded when we need them" and other pointless shit like that.
So STFU...its FREE and respect people for their works.
EMPORiO fully screwed STEAM right up the ass to the throat leaving Gabe Newell mad as fuck for days.

wow people bitching about empororio... you people are such assholes. they tried to give you a release of one of the best games ever, and an extremely timely one at that. Sure there were a few problems, but nothing unsolvable... Go fucking rip a game with protection as complex as half life 2's by yourself you asshat.
And if you don't like the release? GO FUCKING BUY THE GAME. people like you make everyone else look bad.

No, it does not include HL:Source
Yes, it is the retail DVD.
I think you are confusing Retail DVD with Collectors edition.
The standard HL2 edition (availible as CD or DVD version) does not include HL:Source, only the Collectors edition (availibly on DVD only (I think) ) does.
So far vengeance has released the standard edition CD version and the standard edition DVD version.
Anyway, HL:Source isn't worth the download.
It looks exactely like the old HL. Yes, it's the source engine, but they used the old moddels and old textures, so you can't see any difference.
The only change is the physics from the source engine, so you can toss around boxes and knock barrels over but except for that, it's 100% identical to the original HL.
Downloading it is a waist of time.

I've checked that again and I can't find it in the US either, but the standard edition DVD is availible in the UK (and probably whole Europe).
It is identical to the 5CD standard edition.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00009ATWC/qid=1101875089/ref=pd_ka_0/202-2300200-0973420
As for adding it to the DVD, you could extract the image with ISO-buster (or a simmilar tool) and directely burn the files.
That way you could put the HL:Source Files on the DVD as well (in a seperate directory), but of course you'd still have to install it seperately with it's own installer.
If you want to integrate it in the HL2 installer, I can't help you. That would require heavy modifications of the installer.
