The Orange Box

[Heavie]

Has anyone pick this game up today, besides me? Any Half-Life fans in the house? I got the pc copy.

 

[meStevo]

Been playing TF2 for a month, love it.

I am very excited for the orange box and will be picking it up within the next few days.

I have never played any of the HL games but Orange Box on the 360 is calling my name.

 

[Heavie]

I played them all. I completed HL, HL2, HL2 episode one in the past. Right now playing HL episode two and its is really good. The game runs real smooth on my pc. I have no complaint. This is for me, my halo3. Now waiting for, call of duty 4 for the pc.

Been playing TF2 for a while, and still having a blast (playing mostly on the Fires of Heaven server).

Slowly playing through Half Life 2, I got stuck on it a long time ago very early on (couldn't figure out how to get past the electrified fence) but have now passed that hehe.

Never played Ep1 or Ep2 since I haven't completed the original.

Portal seems very cool, but the puzzle stuff gets old for me real quick, so haven't played much of it.

 

[Heavie]

I tried out Portal today. I like it a lot. Makes you think a little. I'm up to test chamber 18 and it might be at the end of portal. I hope there are more to portal. I'm having a blast.

I played all Half life games on the PC (via steam).
I been playing TF2 since beta and its 10/10 in terms of fun.
BTW 360/PS3 owners how you like these games on the console?
I personally like it on the PC.

I have been loving TF2. I played around 30 minutes of HL2 and like it a lot.

Bad: TF2 has been locking up my 360. It seems to have a problem when someone is really laggy in a game. When it times out and search for a new game to join, the game freezes and only a hard reboot will fix the problem. It is happening to me at least 1 out of 4 games.

Hopefully a patch will be released shortly to fix the problem.

I have HL2 for the PC, including Episode 1. I really like the story line.

I think I will pick up Orange Box for the PS3.

I got a question for you, how many players can play TF2 on xbox live?
And are the servers hosted by steam or users?
The servers on the PC are hosted by gaming providers ( My squad has a TF2 server 24 slots full all times) and runs great.

 

[mwgiii]

Up to 16.

I don't know about the servers, but I have always heard that XBL does not have dedicated servers.

 

[IcEWoLF]

ouch, are the servers laggy since its user side hosted?

 

[highspeed57]

In my experience it's not.

 

[mwgiii]

I've been playing 2-3 hours per night and hit laggy servers probably 1 out of 5 games. The huge problem is there is a glitch related to lagging out of a game that locks up your 360. The only way to fix it is to reboot.

Hopefully Valve is working on a patch.

Getting the Orange Box on the weekend...

 

[Tom_P]

I got the game yesterday, en believe at least Half Life 2 looks as good as the 64Bit PC version. Today I plan to check them all.

 

[hpman247]

In my experience it's not.

in my experience it depends on the game that you are playing, i experience lag quite a bit
