At Beta stage I still expect it to launch at least. I would consider this Alpha not Beta.
Got a tip for us?

Normally perhaps, but this is Valve. Excellent design, crappy code.
Well, I'm certainly confused as obviously I'm being stupid about this.It was on my UK Store, at least that's where I bought it from.
This is what I see - only Windows version, no Steamplay.

I know you think you know better because you read it on the internet but I actually live in Australia and know for a fact that Half Life for Mac and Linux is not available here yet.

Hey, maybe everybody knows about this, but I figured out how to access steam from my campus where it is blocked. I am a faculty member, and my fastest machine is on campus. There is a free program from Logmein called Hamachi. You install it on your home machine and your work machine. When you want to open steam you launch it on the home machine (or leave it running if you don't have remote access) and then launch it on the work machine. It creates a VPN connection to your home.
For me this circumvented my university's block of the steam client. Now, I am a business professor, so I can't say that I condone playing games at work, or bypassing IT restrictions, but I thought that some of you may have the need to access steam when it has been blocked. This information is for purely academic purporses. Use this it at your own risk.

Exact same thing happing with me too... what gives?
Tried again a day or two later. Something updated, and it ran just fine!
Is there any way for me to play this on an iMac G4 running 10.4.11? I know Steam only supports 10.5 or newer, but was hoping maybe there would be a way I could play this on the old machine for an even more nostalgic experience.
Helllppp!!!!!!
I just bought HL from Steam after finally finding out it was for mac (I cried with joy) and when I tried to launch it, it said "Half Life isn't on mac"!!!!!!
Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
