HL2DM Free if you have an ATI card

I mentioned this last night to someone.


If you have an ATI card you can get HL2DM for free, which i believe will give you the SDK which will allow you to play Fortress Forever if you're not already playing.

I believe if you have the orange box, you don't get HL2DM so this would allow you to get it.

You will need to access it with either IE or Firefox IE Tab

Oh, ok

You sure OB doesn't include HL2: DM? Like, if you own HL2, you magically get HL2: DM for free?

Orange Box doesn't. I bought it, got the 5 usual games and HL2: DM via the NVidia offer.

I think the ATI card only gives you hl2dm and lost coast, it doesn't actually give you source SDK or SDK base. So you still cannot play FF with it.

Don't forget nvidia! http://www.steampowered.com/nvidia/
Portal:First Slice
HL2DM
HL2 Lost Coast
Peggle Extreme


And yes, it includes Source SDK and will let you play Fortress Forever. My friend didn't own any HL2 games and he got it thru this method.

yes, i did, and i know for a fact you need to actually buy it, not get it thru the offers. Also, i got HL2: DM when i first played FF, bought it, worked fine, and i've bought a ton more games since then

Now it is possible that Nvida/free steam games come with SDK Base. The ATI offer didn't.

Edit found this link. Now stop arguing like a bunch of good bitch's.:P
