Orange Box.

The campaign for HL is way longer, much more story driven, not another rehash of WWII ("Let's storm that beachhead for the 1000th time men!!!"), more variety to the levels/methods of progress. You get a cute chick as a side-kick, you get to kill aliens, and you get to save the world, not just Europe.

Also, Portal is an amazing puzzle game with the twist of being a FPS(ish).

TF2 is a fun multiplayer but that's where COD:WAW wins. There are WAAAYYY more ppl playing COD that TF2.

well, thats kind of a strange question lol, totally different games.

Orange box has quite a few games, all of which are made of win (and by valve, i think?)

Portal is just awesomesauce, accompanied by a healthy dose of puzzles and lulz.

Half life is actually a really good game, great story, and interesting characters.

Team fortress is also made of win, but the xbox 360 version is slightly less (about 6.75%) less win than the PC version. so if you want to play that go get the pc version.

Orange box will last you alot longer.

But cod WAW has a decent story, but it only takes like a few days or so if your decent to beat all the levels on veteran. The Multiplayer is kind of fun, and i cant really say how long that will last you, because if you love it you could play it 100 hours a day, but if you hate it than you prolly wont.

its really up to you tbh

The orange box, has 5 games on it, each of them being 5-20 hours long, all of them awesome, against a WW2 CoD: Modern warfare? not a fair comparison at all.

I'd reccomend the Orange Box, definitely. Of course, if you're looking for multiplayer, than i'd say WaW, unless you already have CoD4 (not that different from WaW). Then again, orange box has Team Fortress.

i've never played orange box but from everything ive seen and heard, i would get orange box for single player. but if you can play on live i would get WAW because their MP is amazing and the single player is definetly good (but repetitive)

I'd say the Orange box, by a mile. Better, more original and longer campaigns. And a multiplayer with out the bs known as kill streak bonuses and perks.

Not to mention the Orange box is forty dollars cheaper.

The Orange Box for sure, because it is a solid 30+ hours of gameplay, while CoD 5 is about 7 + Multiplayer. TF2 is great if you can still find someone to play with. HL2 is 10,000 leagues beyond World at War's campaign. HL2 ep. 1 & 2 are also beyond World at War's campaign. Portal is also a super fun strategy game. World at war has good online, but if you have Modern Warfare I'd stick with that.

Really? because I always find a few games whenever I go to play TF2. :|

I recommend The Orange Box for all of the reasons already stated. W@W is a great game,but everything in The Orange Box is hard to beat...especially at the price it's at right now.

the way i see it is, if you are looking for a good campaign go for the orange box, half life has a really good story line. Although if you are planning on playing multiplayer more, you deff need to get CoD4 :]

Ok, they are totally different games. If you want an intense war based first person shooter, than get COD WAW. The Orange Box is good because there are three games included.
