Dizzle229 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I was going to ask for the Orange Box for Christmas, but I don't know if I should ask for the boxed disc, or get a gift card and download it from Steam. I know it will take up more space on the disc, but the question is... If I get the disc: Will it still run off of steam? Will the files from the disc be exactly the same as if I had downloaded? Will it still be moddable as easily? Will I be playing TF2 on Steam servers? Get back here so I can rub your butt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nine naked men Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 1. Yes, I had to download STEAM when I installed off the CD, because I didn't have it. 2. Yes. 3. I've run into no problems with mods, etc, so yes. 4. I'm not sure what you mean by that, but I think Steam has dedicated servers running. Otherwise you'll be playing on servers usually hosted by other companies or clans or stuff. sleep like dead men wake up like dead men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkDude Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 When you buy the boxed version you also get download rights to the game so you can get it off steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you still remember your login name and password, you can install any Steam game you've bought (digital or boxed) on any computer, even if you don't have the CD. sleep like dead men wake up like dead men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

limpbizkit Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Not just you. Everyone. Because it ties every steam game to your account. So you can get aslon as steam is up running and hosting it. Tif 360 MGC Leaderboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
