Who has it? Which game is the best?
And most importantly, can you play TF2 online without buying any subscriptions or anything?
Thanks-a-bunch.

I believe it is Half Life 2, it's expansion packs, Team Fortress 2, and Portal. Its like a bundle pack of awesomeness.

no wonder I was so confused, he didn't even mention half life haha, Half life is a good game though.. and I think I need to update my computer to play the latest games.. hopefully by the end of the year.. as for now I'll stick to playing COD4, Assassins creed, Bioshock and many others on my 360..
PS - Best game to come out, Far Cry 2, biggest reason why I want a new comp, comes out in march I think.

Hah, yeah..I forgot to say what games are in it..last forum I was on was a gaming one..and everyone there knows what Orange Box is, hah.
Anywho, it includes:
Half Life 2
Half Life 2: Episode 1
Half Life 2: Episode 2
Portal
Team Fortress 2
So basically it's like the best deal in gaming you'll ever get. But I've heard that the 360 version isn't that great.
Can't wait to play it on the PC that I'll hopefully get very soon.

Yeah..there's also one on the PS3, but valve didn't really make it. They said that it isn't worth it on the ps3 so they threw it over to EA, and EA made it crappy for the ps3.

Umm...no. EA didn't "remake" Half Life 2 and it's expansions for the PS3. They're just direct ports just like the 360 version. The only real crappy thing that EA has done for this game is provide terrible servers for TF2, which is the main reason I haven't played it in months (that, and it's lack of game and level variety). I play HL2 constantly, though. That game never gets old.

Well, then they screwed up the direct ports badly, cause have you seen the load times? Also, its not the EA servers, its P2P, IE someones connection hosts it, find someone with a good connection.

This is why I cry for having a Wii and old dumpy computer, no real FPSs for me.

the orange box has five games on it. tf2 (and you dont need to buy a subscription for it,just xbox live(if the 360)) also half-life 2, half-life part1 and 2. just to kinda help finish the story. nut i hope more are coming out. and the portal which is a great game.

Portal alone is worth it.
Honestly, if you have been around as long as I have been playing this stuff, Portal is where it's at. It's short...but damn worth it.
And it's sweet playing all of the H2 universe. Barely touched TF2, though. Wasn't really to my liking.

I loved all of the orange box, i haven't played TF2 though, not interested.
portal was the greatest thing i played in a long time
HL2 still ranks as one of my all time favorite games
