I purchased HL2 through Steam when I was back in the states. I'm deployed to Iraq right now, and while I did bring my receipt with me with the numbers, I cannot install software onto any computer with internet access. Consequently I cannot use Steam to get the files I need to install. Most gaming sites are blocked as well, so I can't even access Steam's website to see if there's a way to purchase the CDs at a discount if you give them the information you used to originally purchase HL2. I think they carry it at the bigger field shop out here, but I really just want to play through it again.
And yes, I am thinking I should have just gone down to Big Box and purchased the game instead of via Steam, but hindsight...
Or as an alternative, if I find somebody out here with HL2 install discs my Steam-purchased numbers will work to install it, or are they different?
