Some advice for the future, before buying a game, make sure your machine has all of the recommended (or minimum) specifications, otherwise you'll just get pissed off when you either, can't update it quickly or can't run it without lag. Half-Life 2 is also a game that cannot be returned to the shop, as the serial number can only be used on one account.

there is absolutely no way that by me looking at the box I would know i was required to have any type of internet  connection at all there is no warning of note...nothing i even checked minimum system specs on the internet there was NOTHING telling me that I needed an internet connection.

Not even this?



Phillip, sorry I didn't realise.

Or at least it appears to do that for me. I'm not certain that it doesn't download whole files at a time, and some of the files are rather large.

You're right.

Also, where abouts do you live where you can't get a broadband internet connection? Africa?
