Saget Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I want to know if its possible to buy Episode 2, Portal and team fortress 2 without purchasing Episode 1 and half-life 2 as I already have those. By buying the orange box I will be buying two games I already have (half-life 2 and Ep 1) where can I get the games seperate from the orange box. Nearly the same thing here. I have HL2, and played EP1 before. I bought Orange Box anyway, and gifted HL2 =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexo Slim Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 (edited) Think of it this way, PC graphics have the ability to be way better than 360. The question is, how good is your pc? If your pc sucks or you don't want to worry about compatibility, go 360, and you get achievements for your gamer card. Otherwise, for PC, you get steam achievements. Another thing, who wants a free guest pass for Counter Strike:Source? Basically, you get to download the game and you get to play for free for X amount of days, where X is unknown to me. PM me if there are any biters. I have a farely good PC well i am running Half-Life 2 on my PC with everything on full well 4x Antialiasing and 4x Antisoptric (or whatever it's called), so anyway i bought the 360 version, and it's weird playing the game i loved on the big screen using a controller. i've only played half-life 2 at the moment and i've noticed on the 360 draw distance is rubbish. I wish there was a counter strike source or HL2 deathmatch multiplayer ah well. lol i threw the can at the soldier and got an achievement for it bitch doesn't tell me what to do OMG portal is the most amazing game ever!!!!! Even if you get bored and cant work the puzzle you can mess around and make a portal in the corner of a room and run through them like a dog chasing his tail1!!! But i wants cake Edited January 29, 2008 by Flexo Slim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mer cinder Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 The orange box seems like a fantastic set of games, usually if it's not GTA or manhunt related, I don't really give a hoot... but DAMN, I was pretty excited when I heard about the Orange Box. Sadly, I am captain broke pants, and have been vagabonding the past few months so I haven't had computer access. Now I'm back next to my computer and I've been DYING to play Portal. It seems like the greatest and most innovative game to date. I wish there was a guest pass for portal. Anyway, does anyone know if there are any plans to release a portal demo for all video card users (not just Nvidea). Or does anyone know where to find discout copies or anything. ( I just can't afford to blow 20 on portal or 50 on the orange box, I know the orange box is a great deal, but I just have my money wrapped up in so many more important things right now.)

willgtavcs Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 why do they call them episode 1 and 2 why not half life 3 AND 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy... Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Because it's a direct continuation of Half Life 2 and because they are not big enough to be considered sequels. Not to mention the fact that there really isn't any difference between the 3 parts in terms of graphics and gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartacus Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Downloading it from Steam as we speak. What an amazing deal. $50 for not only all the games listed, but also Half-Life 2: Lost Coast, Digital Paintball, and Peggle Extreme (they come with the Steam version). Can't wait to play TF2.

Sixdust Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 (edited) I'm playing Team Fortress 2 now but does anybody now how the hell do i set a turret up? . Ok, pick the engineer class, pick the toolbox weapon, and pick the turret. In order to build stuff, you need metal. You can usually find metal pickups near health, or get it free from a dispenser along with health, or destroy enemy machinery for metal. Once you get the metal, find a suitable position for it, place it, and let it build, plus hit it yourself with the wrench. Then, you need to get 200 more metal to upgrade it. Get the metal, and hit the turret with your wrench a few times for it to upgrade, repeat the process one more time for the final upgrade. From then one, watch your side bar for your turrets health, it may need to be repaired. why do they call them episode 1 and 2 why not half life 3 AND 4 Half Life 1 and its other Half Life games such as Half Life Blue Shift, Opposing Force and such all use the same engine. As does HL: DM, Team Fortress Classic and Counter Strike. Half Life 2 is the new, source engine, with each episode bringing improvements in both graphics and physics. Each episode also comes with new models, levels, and plot line. Also, each episode is more graphically intensive and updated for newer hardware. Valve constantly updates the engine over Steam as well. Other Valve games such as Counter Strike: Source, Day of Defeat: Source, Portal, Team Fortress 2 and Gary's Mod, use the Source engine for their game mechanics. Half Life 1 and its games were all around the same time in terms of story and creation. The Half Life 2 games are all situated in a future time, with the same main character, and until he goes further into the future, it will not be Half Life 3, though characters from Half Life 1 do drag over to Half Life 2.

deathdealer Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 portal is a great game but i'm stuck at 18 dammit. it sucked that you have to destroy the companion cube though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartacus Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 f*ck. I'm trying to download TF2 on Steam, but it is stuck at 99%. When I click Launch, I get an error saying it is currently unavailable. Can anyone who is familiar with Steam help me out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moth Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 why do they call them episode 1 and 2 why not half life 3 AND 4 The reason is that they are Half-life three but cut up so they can release faster then one big game. And also to test new stuff like the huge landscapes in episode 2 and the lighting in episode 1. Hope that helped . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamar is just a debeaked headcrab. It seems that the Doc has already had Lamar for a while. I think it genuinely was a cat, who was sent through the teleporter and got disconfigured.

Define "a while". I don't know how much time has passed since HL1, so it could be enough for him to have the headcrab for some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, something bad happened to it when it came out the other end. It isn't explained any farther than that, other than everyone ignoring her when Alyx asks about it. And as far as I know, this isn't a reference to HL1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
