It's because Half Life 2 got caught up in some legal matters having to do with Steam. So, they released CS:S now because it was ready to go out and didn't have the legal issues that HL2 was having. Now if it had been DOD:S I would have already ordered the Steam package, but I'll wait for acctual disks.
