I Love being either a soldier or an engineer. Bassically all I am. Sniper is ok if i know there is a larger space. I cant seem to be a good pyro, yet i get owned by them all the time

 

 

 

Ark kills pyro

 

 

 

Pyro kills ark

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Edit: We should all try and find a server together some time. Would be awesome.

 

 

 

Or someone who can making one.

 

 

 

You could have took a screen of that game that we played in :(

 

 

 

Pyro + Medic + Ubercharge = Godly :D / Jihadism :P

 

 

 

Oh yeah, those are always epic. Like if you're the red team on Dustbowl, and you max your ÃÆÃâÃâ¦Ã¢â¬Åbercharge before the game starts, and then as soon as it begins, you grab a pyro and just run down the tunnels and kill everyone.

 

 

 

Man, I get goosebumps just thinking about it.

Yes, I'm a little bit behind on this Orange Box phenomenon, but I'm a cheapass and need to know somethings:

 

 

 

These games are all being sold at once for 400?$

 

 

 

I can get TF2 seperatly for PC? It's really the only one I'm willing to spend money for.

 

 

 

If I'm running at nVIDIA 6100 should I bother upgrading to play it? I think it said something about 6300 for IDEAL gameplay. Something like that.

 

 

 

TF2 = Monthly fee? and can Xbox 360 live play with the PC online?

Just finished episode 2 (Newb to hl2, so I had to go through that before the episodes.)

 

[hide]K, I'm slightly confused. I know that the portal is closed now, but I really don't get the significance of the Borealis besides that it was built by apature science. Plus what are those things at the end that kill Eli?[/hide]

[hide]The Borealis may hold tools that we could use to help against the fight against the combine. IMO I think it holds the portal gun -- read up on my theory earlier in the thread.

 

 

 

I don't remember what those are called, but I do know that they know everything of a person they kill. They are from the combine (obviously). Eli's death was significant not just for the fact that he died, but the fact that now the combine will know everything of the resistance. [/hide]

First off, the Orange Box is US$50 on Steam. Probably a little more in the shops for a boxed copy.

 

 

 

Second, Team Fortress can be bought on it's own through Steam for US$30.

 

 

 

Third, it should run fine on a 6100. I can run Counter Strike Source (similar specs) on a 5200 so it should work fine on a 6100, you'll just have to turn the graphic effects down.

 

 

 

Lastly, there is no monthly fee for the PC version. Of course the Xbox version uses Xbox Live. The Xbox and PC versions CANNOT play together. You can only play with people on the same console as you.

And the xbox live one is horrible to play with so much lag its unbelievable.

They are called Advisors methinks.

Yeah thats it.

Some think they can outsmart me. Maybe...maybe. But I have yet to meet one, who can out smart bullet...

DUDE!

 

 

 

^ End credits Portal song done on Acoustic. :D

Al right. I've been interested in this Orange box. But I have never played the Half Life games. Not even part one. Do I need to know part 1 before I am gong to play part 2? And what kind of games are they? Are they very scary or something? Is it a lot of rough action, or not? Could somebody give me a brief description of the game, without giving anything about the story away. I know I could look this all up on wikipedia or something, but it's nicer to hear it from other people you 'know'.

Portal looks amazing, I'll have to buy this sometime.

[hide]Id personally say do hl1 first or read on wiki about the story.

 

Not exactly all rough action imo 2 was vehical dominated and wasn't like one.[/hide]

 

 

 

But they are really great games and worth playing tbh.

You don't 'really' need to have played the first for the second, however it will give you a little bit of background on some of the characters.

 

 

 

 

 

The half life series is incredibly action packed by the way. Especially the latest episode (EP 2) there is very little times where something isn't going on. I'd strongly recommend it.

 

 

 

 

 

If you do want to play through half life (1st) its really cheap these days to pick up, although not really needed to enjoy #2.

Hmm, my cousin who i gave my x box version of hl2 said it was a bit of a disappointment till he knew the story.

 

And its only $10 for hl1/hl1 source or get the origanal half life anthology.

portal was amaing :shock:

I don't know if you can play the first Half Life on Vista? Anyway. Thanks for the replies guys, I bought the Orange Box today. I hope IÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâôm going to like it, but a game rated this high canÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâôt be bad. Well, it can. But chances are slim.

Yeah you can, or at least my roomate (who is using vista) play's CS 1.6 all the time on it just fine. It's based off the same engine so should be fine. :D

I've ordered my copy and it should be arriving soon. I'm looking forward to TF2 and Portal mostly. I loved the Flash Version of Portal, and I'm kinda getting bored with Renegade Multiplayer, so I need something new.

Ah, cool. I'll pick it up next week then. They basically give it away. I don't know if I'm doing the instalation the right way. I bought it, and I got two discs with it. Now I installed Steam, and now I'm downloading the games via steam. But I think I also could've got it from the second disc in the orange box and I'm waisting a lot of time now. Or not? :P

 

 

 

Man, I feel like a newbie. But I haven't installed a game on my computer since need for speed underground 1.

USE THE DISCS! its so much faster.

Yea, ah well. I already started the download. Since I had to visit friends I left the PC on. Now that I'm back home it's done. Think I'm going to put on some headphones and play. :)

Man, I just played a little bit. Got the suit, and everything went wrong when they wanted to send me away. Now I'm all by myself again. Alex has got a nice behind.
