Just like the tiltle says. I love the half-life and team fortress series but I also like halo 3. The only problem with halo 3 is that i can't figure out how to do any of the multiplayer thing. I.E. online forge mode, custom games/maps. So which game should i get. Also, can someone post a guide to how to use all the halo 3 online features? Thanks.

Half-Life is way better than Halo....ask anyone!! And also in the Orange Box you get: Half-Life 2 + Episode 1&2 , Portal and Team fortress....that's a nice package!!!

I would get it if I where you!! But if you like halo more...than there is no need!!

As for me...I have to wait till december for the orange box :(

Orange Box is a must buy if you even remotely enjoy FPS games.

I got them both the day they came out, get The Orange Box. Its value, replayability, quality, andjust plain awesomeness are unmatched. Plus it's Valve, hopefully they supply free dlc, if they care enough to hopefully. But even so, Halo 3 is a very good game, I just enjoyed The Orange Box more.

both. Also for those that say Half-life is better than Halo, I disagree. They are about as equally amazing to me.

You should get the Orange Box definitely. It's great value, and has Portal in it. And Portal rocks.

I really enjoyed Halo 3..but Orange Box is alot better IMO.

Why don't you just get both? I'm sure you can alternate between the two. Why limit yourself to only one good game?

Yea it sucks but oh well what can you do. It's always waiting....the PS3 well deserves it's name of Waitstation no question about that. Things like that is not up to us fans. Anyway, I played Half-Life 2 on my PC and loved it but now I wanna get it for the PS3!

although i like half-life better than halo; i like halo 3 better than ob.

But still ob is one of the greatest games this year, beats the hell out of all the shooter except halo 3 (its neck and neck with halo 3. It is so close infact that it comes right down to the slightest preferences, if you like big outdoor battle and quick gameplay with the tactical touch, you'll say halo, otherwise half life)

Halo and half-life will always be the greatest shooters even mad (yes i have played doom)
