Dude no! The 3.5gb download is Go Beta, stop that.
The main game is unlocking in 2 hrs, use the disc then.

Have u guys tried installing without connecting to net ?

 

[REY619]

Whoa whoa whoa guys.. It will still download Gigabytes of data despite us having the disc? :O

Guys, I might get a key tomorrow from my friend... Would it still get me the full game? I guess they must be asking the beta users to purchase the game, now that it has released...?

Thats what happened for me, although didn't try installing it offline.

Man, that sucks. Someone must have tried installing it offline. What's the use of disc then? :\

I have this sitting in my Steam inventory, and I am in two minds whether to activate it or to trade it away for a couple of games. What say you guys? I hate Source, love 1.6.

 

[ramdante]

Then you ll like this, give it a shot!

One question before I activate it. What netcode does it run on, the recent one's where you can play with upto 200 ms ping, or the old CS one, where 100 ms would be unplayable?

I was able to manage at <250ms in the beta.

6)when steam restarts, enter the disk. run setup. install the game 2.1gb of the game will be installed from the disk now.rest you have to download. i too had to but this worked! enjoy! and please don't criticize flipkart.. it's not their fault but publishers!

Log in to Steam and click on Library.
Right-click on the game, select Delete local content, and confirm.
Insert the first disc into your computer.
Close Steam (Steam > Exit).
Press Windows Key + R to open Run
In the Run window type:

Replace C:\Program Files\Steam if your Steam installation is not in the default location.
Press OK. Steam will launch and ask you to sign in if you do not have your password saved. Your installation should continue from the disc.
