    You don't need a new CD key, just download the steam client and login with the email (username) and password you used to register HL2 with

    I sincerely hope you are under the age of 10, for that "sentence" is a truly dreadful use of the "english" language!

    Into this:
    Hello,

    I have a problem with Half Life 2 which I hoping someone on here can help me resolve.

    Basically I have Half Life 2 and the Half Life: Generations pack installed and playable but then I formatted my hdd and now I don’t have them in my games list. I tried registering again but the games are already in use.

    Now elsewhere I’ve been informed that I will need a new cd key, I can get my Half Life 2 key free but I am absolutely flummoxed in my search for a contact email address or anything on how to do this.

    I’m at the end of my tether and I’ve decided to buy another Half Life: Generations game to avoid all this bother and it will only cost around £10 or thereabouts. However, I do baulk at the thought of spending another £30 for Half Life 2, so if anyone else has encountered this particular conundrum, could they please tell me how I may best go about resolving it?

    Thanks ever so much,

    Toodle pip!
    Sorted!

    Lol at nick, nicely done,
    sorry it seems everyone is having a go at you destroyer, but it seems that your sig may need reducing a bit

    so long as you install the games with the same steam id and key (you have the option after installation) it should all work fine
