I would advise you to keep downloading. This demo is awesome IMO. There is one "introduction" mission, and one "monster-killing" mission. The demo really gives you the feeling of the real game.

Well, it takes a long time to download every little detail of the game you know... For example did you try to pick up bottles and break them? In the first level, you can pick up bricks, and throw them at the guards. They get pretty pissed. It took you 15 minutes? Both levels? Took me about an hour 'cause I couldn't find one stupid switch in Ravenholm...

Cryptoguy, sweeper the second was saying that he had downloaded a different demo that was huge and only had 15 minutes of gametime, not half life2.

b) get another harddrive

to anyone who had preloaded HL2 thru steam and is waiting for funding to purchase..... You need not download the demo... jus install it thru steam, and it unlocks the two levels in the demo for u to play. no long wait solved!
