Halo MCC or Orange Box - best collection?

This is a toughie. You get so many games with both. If I had to choose, I would go with Halo MCC. The graphical/performance overhaul made the games so much palatable especially for new players. You also get these crazy multiplayer options (hopefully they will work soon). What do you think, SW? What is the best collection between these two?

MCC no doubt. I've only dabbled in it so far and already its like an orgasmic experience.

Blow me Away!

Orange Box is full of masterpieces and Halo is a FPS for young people who never owned a pc.

Seems obvious.

Orange Box. It had functional multiplayer.

You can pretty much pick any title and claim it's better than Halo. Team Fortress 2 alone poopy poops all over babys first FPS.

The Orange Box. Portal and Team Fortress 2 are excellent.

MCC wise it's Halo 2's awesome multiplayer+some lousy campaigns and lesser mp games.

Being an older pc gamer my opinion holds more weight than yours.

Not to mention the best fps ever, half life 2

My friend, you have a Titan avatar: While I play Digital Combat Simulator.

This is a sign of social status level, indicating I am more right.

I prefer MCC

No Thank You

Orange Box....

I prefer The Orange Box games over the Halo games.

halo considering half life is boring as shit. if orange box had left for dead then it would be more of a contest but even then halo wins.

halo wins baby, halo halo halo let me see ur halo halo halo

Orange Box is full of masterpieces.

MCC is full of casual kiddie shooters. lulz

You do realise that Halo 2 requires more skill than TF2, right?

My friend, I'm a former Quake 3 player. Showing off a video of a young person playing FPS with a control pad is like showing an F1 driver tots racing with sandbags.

MCC fur chur. :P

seems obvious you are a hermit basement dwelling turd...pc does not a gamer make homeslice..get over it already..OH and HALO is only 100000X the better offer..Just better all around everything.

Orange Box by faaaaaaaar

Half Life 1&2

Portal

and TF2

All amazing games

My friend: for what is it, a casual game for newcomers, Halo is very good.

In the overall spectrum, Halflife is a masterpiece that revolutionized socaity. Portal is masterpiece that educated children of the world. Team Fortress 2 is a masterpiece that changed multiplayer as we know it.

In many ways, it remains still the greatest past generation title. It's impossible for a movie game like Uncharted or Last Of Us to match the originally, creativity, variety or quality, variety and creativity seen in "The Orange Box".

Control pad requires more skill than a m+k. It's also much more of a level playing field because everyone has the exact same controller.

Orange Box

Falo can't hope to compete

If Halo MCC worked then we could talk. It's friday and I still haven't played a match online.... And I have seen many crashes while playing through various campaigns. Maybe I will come back to it in a couple of weeks. I think I will play more of a real mans game that just got some real kick ass DLC. Mario Kart 8!

Video games are slowed down, focusing on rewarding the player (grats 250XP) even if they fail. Old school hardcore pc gamers focused on pure skill. A dying art, we are dying off, one by one: thanks to young people masquerading as pretend gangsters.

I've played Quake, Unreal, RTCW, Shadowrun, CS, TF2, MoH:AA, DoD, R6, GR1 and while Halo 2 doesn't require as much raw skill as most of them it still requires much more than you will ever admit to. I doubt you have even played it a high level in one of the more competitive playlists. I'm going to let you off due to ignorance.

As a pc gamer. I don't need too.

This is what happens at a high skill cap.

MCC, the only thing that was worth while on the Orange Box was Portal, Team Fortress 2 sucks compared to Team Fortress, Half Life 2 and Episode 1 and 2 were nice additions but none of them were remastered like CE and H2 Anniversary.

The Orange Box changed my standard for gaming. HL and Portal alone do the dirty deed done dirt cheap on Halo games....also, TF2 was addicting there for a little while.

>Aim assist and auto aim
>more skill

You must be on drugs.

Orange box, it came with a NEW game in Portal which went on to get a sequel and the MP actually worked day 1.

Not as fair of a comparison since The Orange Box came loaded with 3 new games in addition to two older ones ported to the consoles.

The MCC is a pure Halo fanservice. It may win over some new fans, but it's really just a fanservice.

The Orange Box, hell if Orange Box were just HL2+E1+E2 it would still be better.

Considering that Half Life's story is an inconclusive cluster f*ck...no...

Well, considering Orange Box worked at launch...

MCC comes with a 97 metacritic game, OB only comes with a 96 :(

PC Neckbeards can say what they want including spouting that PC has higher standards BS but this will haunt them for the rest of their lives, their beloved shooter was beaten by a console game, all they can do now is damage control and beg their beloved Lord Newell to come up with Half Life 3 by 2030.

The Orange Box by a large margin !!!

Cows sheep & herms saying OB, never expected that in SW, that's like crazy weird mang, who woulda thunk it. :P

I mean, 60% of the Orange Box could have probably been retailed for like $30+ each (don't think TF2 would have been full PC retail price). TF2, Portal and HL:EP 2 were all new content, no? The MCC is just all remakes...

But the games in both bundles are all pretty solid, so you're not losing either way.
