I have to agree this is a beautifully polished game. The game still plays like the original TFC which was a blast in its day and should be received well by the console fraternity as it is a very easy game to get into and have fun.
236 million played online minutes on its first day means that at least via Steam the sales of the Orange box are very healthy indeed (puts it into context CS gets 6 billion a month so a little way to go).
This game will review well, as I suspect Ep2 will be longer and also as well polished and the addition of TF2 (which is now officially awesome) and portal you have to wonder how this game could fail.
I've played Team Fortress 2 maybe 3 or 4 hours now, and it's one of the best games I've ever played. I can easily say it has more polish than any other multilayer game I've ever played including WoW, and, I'm just playing the BETA!
If it's as good on the 360, the reviews will show and this is way undervalued.
The PC Version of the Orange box is now available for pre order via Valves Steam, an online distribution system.
Uniquely if you pre order the game via Steam you will get the opportunity to participate in the Team Fortress 2 beta programe which starts this coming Monday 17th of Sept.
Another unique feature will be that of the gift. If you currently own part of the Orange box you can give it away as a gift.
The beta programe and the unique gift feature may sway away some of those who could not decide whether to own on the 360/PS3 or on PC. It certainly has made my mind up, see you on the Beta on Monday.
2 minutes worth of ingame footage of Team Fortress 2 gameplay. The map is the Dustbowl map as some TFC dudes of old may note. Love the spanner kill by the engineer.
The trailers Valve have been releasing as part of Team Fortress 2 (Included in the Orange Box) have so far been excellent. This latest version introduces the "Soldier" much in the same way we have been introduced to the Heavy guy and "Sascha" and is a classic. So come on maggots.
Strictly speaking this was for the PC version but as that is not listed and the information is not platform specific I have placed the article under the 360.
Whenever I explain things it normally means down bids buy hey ho.
A hands on review of episode 2 and Team fortress 2. Episode 2 looks to be an improvement over one with 8 hours of gameplay and tougher combines. Whilst Team Fortress 2 looks to be the steal in the package. No cross platform play would appear to be confirmed. With 24 players for PC and 16 for the consoles.
I would agree but in this case we are brining new products which are new to the PC and Console markets. I suspect TF2 alone will become a big reason to buy this package.
I personally already own HL2 but do not have EP1 and 2. Do I buy on the 360 or the Xbox. I will probably buy on the Xbox and through Steam I should be able to micro purchase the TF2 element.
The point I am making is this is not your normal late port.
