Once you finish it, grab episode 1 off steam. Steam's pretty much the way to go, the only boxed releases you're going to find for episode II is going to be the $50 orange box in october (HL2, HL2 Ep. 1, HL2 Ep. 2, Portal, Team Fortress II). I mean, I guess if you don't grab Ep. 1, its worth it then, and you can give a code away to someone who doesn't have it.

Some of the Source based multiplayer games are pretty good. I loved Day of Defeat Source when it first hit, but I haven't played it in a while. Counterstrike is counterstrike. Red Orchestra is really good.

Not sure on the player communities. Last time I tried HL2's deathmatch, I couldn't really find a server.
