Probably 60 bucks. I don't know if it has the original Half-Live, though. I've wondered that. Haven't seen anywhere mentioned that it did.

Most of us played alot of stuff contained in the orange box long ago. You should have to. Plus Half-Life 2 is alot better because of all the mods for the PC version.

It for the most part has been out on PC for almost 3 years now. Episode 1... for about 6 months... and Episode 2... coming soon.

I still need to pick up Episode 1, but I need a new CPU. A 3.06GHz P4 with HT should do me good. I am going to wait until Ep2, TF2 and Portal come out.

To my knowledge this is how it is

Orange Box: Half Life 2, HL2: Episodes 1 and 2, Portal, and Team Fortress 2 - available on 360, ps3, and PC

Black Box: HL2 Episode 2, Portal and Team fortress - available on PC

Black box for me, and im very excited about it, but if you havent played HL2 before and you have 1 of the three mentioned platforms definetely pick up orange, as for price, Im not sure but my bet it less than 60.

Recenlty Valve added some advertisements in Counter-Strike. It's placed on walls and stuff where people can see. I don't really mind it all that much, but it does kill the mood of the game seeing an advertisement for Portal on the wall. Also that annoying 1-second lag at the beginning of every round.

They are advertising their own game? Okay... EA has been doing much worse...

We don't really need Orange Box. Just downloading Episode 2 gives you TF2 and Portal.

Most of us who wanted HL2 would've gotten by now.

You think you'll need a $2000 PC to play Episode 2? You don't need a $2000 PC to play Crysis!

We're not idiots.  Google it if you don't believe me.

 

And they aren't just advertising their own games, that have a few ads for Dell aswell. And this is currently just a testing phase, they are going to put more in.

Valve didn't make Garry's Mod, therefore it is not included in the "Valve Complete Pack".

They didnt make it, but I believe they officially own the rights to it. I believe at one point they bundled it with CS

it seems like there is no hype for this game and most people know that each one of the games in the box will do well but it seems like know one cares and it might be the reason y i buy a new console? what gives?

o and does anyone know how much it will cost when it comes out?

o0George0o
1. I have been hyping this. Half-Life 2 is a great game according to the PC fans, and taking it onto next-gen consoles with improved graphics is an excellent idea. Not everyone has played Half-Life 2, it's a good chance for those of us who haven't to get into the game. 2. There is so much game in the box, expected pricing is $60 but you're getting a lot of offline gaming for your money. Team Fortress 2 is interesting, but I think Halo 3 and Gears of War dwarf this. 3. I don't think Orange Box alone is the reason to buy a new console 4. This is some bad timing on the publisher's part. Gears of War is rocking LIVE, and Halo 3 is about to come out. It's tough to compete with Halo 3, especially when it comes to online gaming... is Team Fortress 2 really going to compete with Halo 3?

It is going to be the normal price for a 360 game.  The fact that it has basically 5 games on one is pretty crazy.  I would probably pay for each of these games seperatly.

?wat?

 

Recenlty Valve added some advertisements in Counter-Strike. It's placed on walls and stuff where people can see. I don't really mind it all that much, but it does kill the mood of the game seeing an advertisement for Portal on the wall. Also that annoying 1-second lag at the beginning of every round. 

There are no ads in portal.
