Poll: Your favorite component of the Orange Box.

[TelHybrid]

Half-Life 2 as its the only game with a full campaign, and is the main component of the compilation. I remember playing it back in '05 before Orange Box, and it was, and still is, awesome.

The episodes are expansions, Portal is short, and TF2 is multiplayer only. Still enjoy them all though.

Also Lost Coast doesn't count. It was merely an interactive tech demo to show off HDR.

 

[Dannyboy1186]

Well I like Half life 2 since it was the first time I started to play a half life game and I really enjoyed it. Portal was like a little gem while TF2 is something I still play. So I prefer Half life 2.

 

[oppp7]

TF2. Portal was good but too short, and Half Life 2 was ok but not tha great in my opinion. TF2 had more replay value so I'll go with that.

 

[darthcendiarygrenade]

Ha, no one's voted Episode 1. Now THAT deserves to burn in hell.

I'd say Half-Life 2 itself, as I played it for the first time on Orange Box, and enjoyed it the most.

Ep. 2 is a close second. I have the 360 version, so TF2 is out. Lastly, I...didn't...like...Portal...much. *runs*

No, no. Come back. We're not so base as to brutally eviscerate someone for their gaming opinions.
*twitches knife behind back slightly*
That would be completely uncalled for and beneath us.

O.P.: Umm, yeah...Portal FTW.

*peeks out from behind hiding place*

So we're all cool, right? That's a nice knife ya got there. What is that, a 12-inch?

I hate Portal.

Yeah, we're cool.
*widening grin, puts knife away*

All of them. Something would die inside me, when I had to choose between them.

 

[DJude]

HAH, only one person for HL ep1 (for now)

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

Ahh! Choice too hard! *head explodes*

 

[kotorfan04]

Gotta say Portal. I would talk about how great it is but Mr. Croshaw already did that for me.

 

[Jon Etheridge]

I bought if for Half Life 2 and the other episodes but I found Portal to be the best thing in the whole package.

 

[Sinister Minister]

All of them. I don't understand the hate for Episode One, I found it a damn fine game, and as one person put it whom I can't remember: "It's all the Half-Life 2, but none of the fat."

Also, what irks me is the people saying the games were a snoozefest, were less than average, etc., aren't providing reasons for that. I know it's not a requirement to put down your opinion, but it's like "Argh, he doesn't like it? I must know why..." Curse my Valve fanboyism.

Because I'm one of three people in existence who hasn't played it before the Orange Box, Half Life 2. It's just so brilliantly atmospheric and full of setpieces, and anything that spawned Concerned is awesome.

 

[DAMG]

My favorite thing out of the whole deal is the audio commentary. I wish that the original Half-Life 2 had it and for other developers to follow suit.

 

[skywalkerlion]

I didn't find Portal to be as awe-inspiring as everyone says it is..

I prefer TF2.

 

[Ethereal]

No Peggle?
It's the only reason I got the Orange Box.

 

[IncindiaryPickle]

Where is the "Half life 2 ep1-2, but not the other stuff" option? I thought Portal was a fine game, but it won't be on my top 10 anytime soon. Also, I'm sure TF2 is nice, but I don't have Xbox live.

 

[orangebandguy]

Tf2, for endless playability, although I really enjoyed Half Life and Portal.

It's all good really.

 

[C117]

TF2. It's one of those FPS's that I actually enjoy really much, even if I suck at them.

 

[T-Bone24]

Team Fortress 2. Met a lot of friends through that. Played for 48 hours on one class alone, the rest are catching up.

 

[Draco Kaiser]

I like HL2 since it introduced me to the series. I originally wanted Team Fortress 2, but since it doesn't work on my computer so well, so I played HL2 and that was one hell of a game. I just got Half-Life Source so I could figure the story line more.

 

[malxmusician212]

Portal most def because I have it on 360 so tf2 is hella laggy and doesn't have the upgrading system that it does on the computer but if i had it on a computer then i would most likely say tf2
