Depends on what you mean... the only reason any games are pay to play are because they need to maintain extremely large servers, like MMORPG's (ie, Star Wars Galaxies, which has hundreds if not thousands of people in a server at any given time). I couldn't see why HL2 would have pay to play, considering most first person shooters aren't going to have servers that large. If they were to do that, there would be some wild wars... interesting concept, but I think a bit beyond their capacity just yet. Also, other games give you multiple accounts and customizable characters, you get stats, build up strengths, etc... hence the RPG part of it.
Anyway, if it were pay to play for some funky reason, it would only be for an online account. In which case, I would just stick to playing HL mods online, and playing HL2 for the single player which looks awesome on its own. By the way, if you said all of this in your post gb, sorry... that was just such a long post, didn't really read beyond the first paragraph.
