What is the Orange Box?

[Quo]

It's Half-Life, Half-Life 2, Episodes 1 & 2, Portal & Team Fortress, all in one box.

[WormholeXtreme]

Thanks. The search function wouldn't let me do a search with only two words.

[Lord Sam]

I just heard they will have 99 achievements for this game. That might take a while to get. Details here.

[Quo]

My bad on the error... thanks for correcting, Monkey.

And wow, 99... that's a lot of achievin'. They're considering it one game?

[KEEZY]

Oh, wrong thread...

99 Achievements. Awesome. I am looking forward to this.

I'm really looking forward to this box as well. Mostly for Team Fortress 2 to be honest.

same here, tf1 was badass back in the day!

Basically it is boxed awesomeness, 5 games in one box all for $59.99.

Its a definite buy for me.

[BrewCityUpstart]

I think I'm gonna skip this one. I didn't think the gameplay vids were all that.

'Orange Box' reminds me of a movie I saw once with a chick that had an orange Dreamsicle...

If you preorder now (or already have) at any EBStop, you get $5 off when you pick it up October 10th. $55 for 5 kick-ass games is a steal. Halo what?

DIT-to tha-TO


TFC2 should be the one...Brew your tripping man, If you eveer played TFC than you should know That the Gameplay is pretty fast and fun and original. It was a Great mod for the Original Half-Life that is still played to this day just like CS.

It would be nice if they redid Counter-strike though...

[MadBryan]

is it 5 games or 4. I thought HL2 episode 1 is what was realesed first and eventually ported to the OG xbox, followed by Episode 2 for the pc

[KEEZY]

No sir. Espisode 1 is actually the first expansion pack, so it goes HL2, E1 & E2.

And then there's Portal and TF2. Good shot on pointing out the $5 off deal, Biffles!

[The Milk Man 09]

I don't think that this will make me say halo what, but it will definitely take some time out of my halo playing.

[BiffCo]

To each their own. I'd take the Half-Life franchise over the Halo franchise any day of the week. Better overall storyline for me, plus much more interesting at that.

I'm more looking forward to playing this than Halo 3, even though I played the PC version of Half-Life 2. Team Fortress looks cool, but I'm more interested in checking out Episode 1 and 2 plus Portal.

Yea half life two had way better story line and game play than what halo 2 had to offer but I really think that bungie learned from the mistakes they made with halo 2. This is going to be a top contender for game of the year though.
