I don't have alot of money this month and was thinking what game will be better to buy (i'll prolly rent the other though). I never played Half-Life 2 (bc my pc old and don't have an old xbox) But I hear its rated one of the best fps out there. Was going to get the old xbox game of it but who knows if its backwards compack and I heard they are upgrading the grps for Orange box HL 2. I been watching TF2 beta videos and that online looks very fun (would love to see more maps).

I also have never played halo 1 or halo 2. So I think I would be lost in the single player and not get into whats going on. Also I think the multi-play online side might be too hardcore since its the 3rd game and ppl are still playing the 2nd after years of it being out. BUT the gamevideos of gameplay look very fun and nice eye candy. One question is there any blood in the game?? I know there no gore but is there any red blood sprays?? Is it kiddy also no Shiiiiiii!Ts? or Phucks?

I'm kinda more on the Orange Box side right now but theres so much Hype about halo 3 I want to know its about (the funnest of it)

Orange box with out a doubt. Best bargain ever.

3 Games for the price of one > Halo 3. But if I had to choose justone...it would be Call of Duty 4 :)

Oh I'm getting CoD4 without a problem (it comes out in Nov right?) pretty far away. I'm in the beta that games very fun with the custom class and leveling up.

Actually its five games so...I Guess Halo 3 VS Half-life 2, Ep1,Ep2, Portal, and TF2

I honestly think Halo is WAYYY OVERrated... Coming from mostly PC player i would get orange box but thats just me...

Orange box fo sho.. Far superior, Halo 2 was a let down and I'm guessing Halo 3 will follow suit, or at least be a very risky choice.

TF2 looks like a very fun fps online. From the beta and previews it runs at 60 fps and hardly no lag. The taunts after kills are pretty funny too.

The Orange Box by far. Half Life 2 is a far better game than any Halo.

Orange Box. Whatever you do, don't pick up Half-Life 2 for the Xbox. I don't even know if it's BC, but just don't do it.

I would get Halo 3, because HL2 and TF2should only be played on a PC.

Why? Mods, nuff said (TF2 looks excellent!).

Team Fortress is really fun (I used to play the originals for Quake and Half-Life), but it's pretty much one game-type, CTF, and I suspect that there won't be too many maps.

So I agree with the above poster... Get Halo 3 for MP, or get Orange Box for SP, or be like me and get both. :wink:

Half-Life 2 gets repetitive after a while especially when you're in the zombie town. Vehicles aren't as cool compared to Halo. The mods are okay. I played it at someone's house (the mods)but I own it for Xbox. The last level is by far the most interesting. Overall, I'd say Halo, I'm not a fanboy or anything. When it comes down to it, there's Team Fortress 2 with it and portal. Portal seems like it would be boring after a while. Halo has great online play. I would buy Halo and wait for Orange Box to drop down in price. There's no mods for Xbox 360 so I'd defenitly get Halo 3. Buy Orange Box used actually would bebetter, I think.

you should forget about COD4(because it gets so boring after playing it for two days) and get the orange box(5 games for the price of 1? damn) and halo 3(its the number 1 game for the 360 maybe not the best but no.1 like smash bros for the wii and metal gear for the ps3) but its just my opinion, im getting both

I don't know what to expect from Episode 1 & 2 because I don't know if it's five or seven hours longer or what. It seems like it's almost the exact AI.

well if u want a good game that will last a long time get halo 3....y you ask is because it has great multiplayer and the single player is going to be really great.. also you see nothing but halo 3.. its every were even on soda cans. it also has more than 1 million copies sold so its got to be good. it was also rated #2 at e3 while orange box isnt even rated. me personally think that half life is pointless bioshock is 2 times better so get that or halo 3

Buy Halo 3 now and wait for Orange Box. I'm guessing it is gonna be fairly overlooked until closer to Christmas with Halo 3 and COD4 garnering way more attention. Plus, if the sales kinda suck, they may drop the price a little even to spur sales. I mean come on, how can you even question not buying Halo 3
