Ok so i got this game last week.


I think the only online multiplayer game I have ever been fully addicted to (i'm talking nerdy clan leading shit here) was Team Fortress Classic. I absolutely loved it.... So when I heard about the new team fortress game being bundled with HL, HL Episode 1, HL Episode 2, Portal AND Team fortress 2.... I nearly shit myself with excitement.

I fucking love this package.... the worst part of it, is the Half life games themselves, I think i've played them out. But Portal was absolutely brilliant, i just wish it was longer, but never the less awesome.

And team fortress 2.... fucking fantastic, if any of you have played the original and loved it as much as i did, you wont be dissapointed. MY only criticism is that they have removed grenades from it completely.... But once you're used to that, the classes are much more even than they used to be (Even pyro is now good.).

This game is well worth purchasing if you own a 360. However, why they released this at the same time as Halo 3 is beyond me :|

Yeh I pre-ordered Orange Box a few weeks in advance, PC of course. I fucking love it, probably the best 45$ I ever spent on a game(s).

I already had HL2 and Episode 1 but with Steams "gift" program they had set up I just gave the extra ones I got from Orange Box to a friend that never played Half-Life.

And yeah Portal was probably the best gaming experience I've had in a very long time. Excellent.

I've been playing Team Fortress 2 like crazy, really addicting and balanced multi-player game. What makes it half the fun for me personally though is that I always play on the servers that these guys own: (noobrefuge.com). I've been playing Counter Strike: Source with these guys since the beginning and it's fun as shit; back in the day one of the CSS servers was the best in the world and was holding international championships. Good times, since they added their TF2 servers as well it's pretty much impossible to get bored as long as you got an internet connection.

Yeah i kind of wish my PC was decent enough to run it.... playing as a sniper with a console is NOT the same :(

This is true, I love playing Sniper :D

In pretty much every multi-player game I've ever played I've been sniper more than anything else, all the Call Of Duty, all the Medal Of Honor, CSS.

I used to own the shit out of being a Sniper on consoles too. "Medal Of Honor: Frontline" for XBox back in the day. Me and a friend would have sniper duels, the multi-player maps for that game were so insanely good for sniping duels, better than any other game I've ever played. 12+ years of sniping competitions with my cousins and friends have made me the best sniper there is :D

Halo? BAHAHAHAHA is that a joke. HL is in a whole other league than Halo, Halo fucking sucks. HL is like the Godfather of video games, Halo would be an Uwe Boll film.
