@Jesse2050, I think this game is going to do very well, its a great value with 5 games, with the marketing muscle of EA behind it. Counter-strike for xbox got so-so reviews. I can see HL2OB getting great reviews because it contains both brand new content and most of the games are not nearly as old as CS was when it released on Xbox.
I have had many status 200's or other problems when trying to submit, and I've found its usually a ' that needs to be fixed, so if I paste text I just scroll through and fix all the '. While Just_Ben method works too it seems very time consuming. I recommend going through and deleting and retyping any of the following symbols ; , ' ", usually it is just '.
I played Half Life 2 on the X-Box and I was surprised by how well dual analog control worked for this game (huge fan of Half Life on PC). To me, the best selling features for the original Half Life were the AMAZING mods (Team Fortress, Counter Strike) that were basically free once you had the game. Packing in TF2 could help for this game.
I am really hoping to finally see some of the great pc games catch on with the home consoles. Anyone think this could convert to the console market or do you think this will once again be pc dominated in terms of sales.
If i can recall, counter-strike for the xbox completely flopped but of course the pc title sold millions.
You can handle status 200 quite easily. With me it was most the time just one char that is just not accepted. If you have it, just do the first sentence. After submitting go to the edit article page and add sentence by sentence and submit between them. You find out easily that way what char is causing it. Most likely it was a '
two-part interview with Team Fortress 2 developers Robin Walker and Charlie Brown, talking about the pathways from the modding community to working at Valve, the long development of TF2 and the changes it went through, Valve’s thoughts on parallel mod Fortress Forever, and how the art design plays such a major role in how we play the game.
I found this to be a very interesting interview in particular how some of the decisions they discuss actually do make for better gameplay. In particular my favourite out of context quote would be with regards gameplay complexity.
"we don’t think we’ve sacrificed any of the depths or complexity that we wanted, but at the same time players can sit down in front of it and have fun without really understanding half of what’s going on".
A game with depth that is simple to play. Now that is novel.
The PC and 360 versions of the game have gone gold and are on track for a October 10th release. The Orange box contains: Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episode One, Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Team Fortress 2 and Portal. Mmmm tasty and TF2 rocks on its own.
It looks like a riot. As a 360 owner, this is the FPS I'm getting this season. And since I've always been a console gamer, all the other O:Box content will be new to me as well. It's a steal at that price. I can't wait.
Maybe because it's a FPS coming in the wake of Halo 3? The core content of this package (HL2) has been available for years and can be found quite cheap. While this contains a lot more content, I wonder if it will appeal to the 360 crowd which already has quite a few multiplayer FPS options (GRAW, Halo, Gears, Rainbow Six, etc). It's a PC franchise that's stepping into crowded territory (with awful boxart).
On a personal note, Team Fortress was one of the first (and most fun) FPS mods I've ever played...I waited years for TF2 to come out. I just have doubts that it will find a large audience on the 360.
