I have a problem.

Rainbow Six Vegas 2 looks awesome, really awesome, and I havent played the original RSV, so it wouldn't be "Same old same old" for me. But now I hear it has terrible framerate and lag (form IGN review).

I also want Orange Box, but I hear that the PS3 version was also terrible on this one. PS3 is the only system I can get it for cause my PC is terrible now.

I have played and beat Half Life 2, so I only want to play the other four games on it, but I hear that stuff like riding the boat in Half Life has such a terrible framerate its like watching a slideshow.

Has the framerate been fixed for Orange Box, should I get Rainbow Six instead or wait on that?

Help please :P

You don't understand. What ever game I don't get this week, I won't be able to buy it till August. (I have to Buy MGS4 and I won't have any more money to buy games for a long while.)

Honestly, I would say Orange Box. I just dont care for RSV online graphics or player movement. Its too slow and "tactical" for me. I didnt like R6V1, and I hear R6V2 is much the same. Particularly on the graphics end. The online graphics stink compared to COD4 or even GRAW2 (by the same company as R6V no less). I gave up RSV1 for GRAW2, then gave up GRAW2 for COD4. As for Orange Box...Portal alone is worth the buy. That game is amazing. I have played it through twice and still want more! lol. Team Fortress 2 is a fun game as well. It is total comedy online. I usually use the Heavy. It is just one of those games to just hang out and blast stuff. There is no way I would get R6V2 over Orange Box. In fact, the only other option from a shooter perspective I would propose is COD4.

I have CoD4. I like the tactical shooter gameplay. Ive always wanted to play a game like that (Cover system, slow battling.). Of course, im also a fan of TF2s comdey approach and I already know I like the gameplay, as I have beat Half Life 2.

To be honest, R6V2 is not as tactical as it claims to be. It is hit or miss whether you have a team with mics, so tactics are limited there just like in COD4. The graphics will feel much lower in quaity than COD4. If you REALLY want tactical, wait for Socom Confrontation. Americas Army might be the only game in existence more tactical than Socom. Most people that play Socom series, have mics. Also the scenarios are typically more tactical (hostage rescue, escort, convoy escort, demolition). Still, if you have to get something now, get Orange box. Portal alone is worth it.
