Yes, but not without running steam to launch the game. If steam will not run
unless you are connected to the net, there is a box in settings/accounts
that says "do not store information on this computer" or something similar.
See if this is checked or unchecked. Uncheck it. You will be able to play
offline when steam next launches.

starting steam. its always trying to connect, and I push "offline mode". I
dont want to do that every time I play hl2 single player...

Not sure but I think if you follow the previous help's you can play offline
but you must use the disk in your dvd drive.

I don't even understand why everyone is bitch'n about HL2. All I had to do
was wait for over a year to get T1 speed, then upgrade my PC for the second
time in 6 monthes and pay $89.00USD for the game. I think the total came to
$60.00 a month for the T1, new motherboard and Celeron D chip (same as
pentium 4 chip) was $434.99 >>>this includes my Nvidia Gforce5200 video card
that is necessary and 512mb of RAM. All in all to play HL2 it came to nearly
$800.00USD. But now I can play on/off line. GOD I'M HAPPY!!!
