Actually if you start it up without an internet connection you can start it up in offline mode straight away

No you don't.

A common problem when people don't know what steps are needed to play in offline mode:

You only ever need to connect ONCE to the Steam Network and do the following:

1. Enter in your CD key or what ever code that is required.
2. Have the game updated to it most current patch.
3. Ensure that your login details are saved on your PC via the Settings page.

From that point on you can physically unplug your net connection, open up Steam itself or run a Steam linked game from a desktop icon and you'll be presented with this:



You can now play in offline mode till your dying day.
