If you buy Half-Life 2 over Valve's Steam service, you'll get everything preloaded but the game engine itself, which is being withheld until it retails sometime in November. But you can download and start playing Counter-Strike: Source - the HL2-based and visually superior update to the classic squad-based shooter mod - with all packages from steampowered.com, even the $50 bronze level. What are you waiting for? Oh yeah, for the many gigs of data you better have a decent Internet connection...
