Orange Box is GREAT...

But what's with all the connection issues? I get dropped from about 1/3rd of all games and a ton have huge amounts of lag.

Anyone else having issues like this?

Uch this stinks, i wanna buy Orange Box, but i dont wanna pay for XBL making the purchase kinda bad with no ,multiplayer...

:(

i know the PS3 port is gonna be weak but free online its a toss up

yeah, this is my first experience w/ the half life franchise, and i must say that it is really amazing. im still on half life 2 right now, and its one of the best single player experiences ive had. and i heard that the graphics in episodes 1 and 2 are wayy better, so i cant wait to check them out after i finish HL 2

Well what happened was, i told my brother to go set up XBL, so he pays for Gold, and sets up his gamertag...

then i find out that in order for my profile to play online i have to pay ANOTHER 50 bucks, which is just f;ed up...

so technihcally, my brother has XBL and i dont, but im not playing on his name, i want my own identity

i agree with you on that part. with all these people making posts about making xbl free, that is what really should be changed. If you pay for it, it should at least apply to 2 accounts...or the 2nd one should be cheaper. to pay $50 twice is just f-ed up i think.

Nothing a update can't fix :DSizeMatterzz

Lets hope so. I'm tired of having a good killing streak end because I lagged in a corner.

No, but I'm having this problem FIERCELY in Halo 3... I had to do Chapter 4 three times and Chapter 6 (or is it 5? I get confused...) another time just because the connection keeps dropping. It wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't playing on Legendary, which takes a while. Last mission, the connection dropped just a few steps before the end of the level. I was so pissed I had to just stop playing... that was a few days ago, haven't played it since. I will again... I just need some time.

$50 a year is too much for you? If your working you should have 50 dollars to spare for a years worth of live. If you want to play on live stop being cheap and pay the money. 50 dollars a year is less than 5 dollars a month. If you can't save 5 dollars a month then there is something wrong.

Yes yes yes, we all know all people can afford it. Some people are just thinking and are smart enough to realize we shouldn't have to pay$ 50 a year. We already pay for content and even lame little pictures. We have to pay for changing our handle for **** sake. There is no better connection then any other service and no better service then any other service. So is it really that weird that some people question why we are paying for this?

I pay it. But just because I have no other option.

I dont know why anybody would by a Xbox 360 if they were not going to get XBL. I was sceptical at first on the original 360. but once you start playing online. You will only(mostly) want to buy games that have online multiplayer.

Secondly You should wait and see what reviews the Delaystation 3 will get on the Orange Box. I have feeling it might be a lower score.
