Jeremy Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 (edited) Half-Life 2: Orange Box will contain:Half-Life 2Half-Life 2: Episode OneHalf-Life 2: Episode TwoTeam Fortress 2PortalIt's being released this Fall, assuming they don't delay it (again ).Regarding the latest graphics technology, it will contain:A better lighting modelBetter shadersLarger texturesTake advantage of multiple coresIntroduce their new "cinematic physics system" (which obviously make cinematic scenes look insanely impressive to watch.)Regarding the content:A new characterA new enemyA new weaponA new vehicleRegarding the storyline:You'll learn a lot more about the G-Man.A major character will die (I'm assuming Alyx).Episode One was 4-6 hours. Episode Two will be 6-8 hours.I don't know about you guys, but this is my favorite game and when I buy this and play it, I want no interruptions whatsoever for the solid 6-8 hours (or more if it takes me longer).

Jeremy Posted June 11, 2007 Author Share Posted June 11, 2007 when is fall? hope they're steam pre-loading this like they did with EP1 Somewhere between September and November I guess. The games shop (EBGames) is about a 15 minute walk from here and I like to have the physical copy of the game so I'll be buying it that way.

Maleko Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 cant wait for this sequal! all HL games have been totally sweet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbolt 2864 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Wasn't a huge fan of Half Life 2, but I've seen the trailer for Team Fortress 2 and it looks sweet. I look forward to that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted October 8, 2007 Author Share Posted October 8, 2007 The release date is approaching. I bought it on Steam but then decided that I wanted the boxed version so I got a refund. I'll probably play through HL1, HL2, EP1 and then play EP2.I can't wait. It's driving me nuts. I should probably sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maleko Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 hehe, its gonna be ace, im also really lookign forward to Portal, been playing TF2 a lot as well, thats well ace! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glocK_94 Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 (edited) Ok so if I get it ok, to get episode 2 and TF2, you have to buy HL2 again or pay 60 euros and not even get a box?It's really sad to see such great games killed by greedy marketing...

Maleko Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 atm that is the unfortunate deal, except if u buy an ATI card with the black box, thats just EP2, TF2 and Portal...which i was able to get off a friend but yeh, major markettign scam to buy orange box, and have to get HL2 AGAIN etc.maybe they will release them all seperately once they have been officially released...who knows.

HL2 and Episode One are free with it, so if you have a friend who wants the game you can give them the free CD-key that comes for those games in The Orange Box.
