colsoop Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Do you have to get it as part of the orange box or can you buy it individually. i couldn't see the individual option in steam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I'm waiting to buy it, no way id pay for the orange box to get it as I already have half the games there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted October 8, 2007 Author Share Posted October 8, 2007 I read on Gamespot that the standalone version (think it was called 'The black box') was cancelled. I guess they've realised most that want the game will be prepared to pay the extra $15 for a 'full' package. The last one was virtually uncrackable (Is that a word?) due to the online download aspects, so if you want to play, you have to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always pay for games, its just very annoying that i have the other games already. I don't like this episodic gaming idea it seems you get half a game each time for full game money I hope they bring it out eventually in single format.

Jezz Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Cool! I installed Half life 1 last week and finished it last night, cos i was getting bored. I'll have a go at preloading on my steam account i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daston Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 does episode 2 include portal and Team fortress 2? if it does I might just not eat this month lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angarak Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I got this free with my graphics card (though my graphics card did cost £240!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Well after an impulse buy i have been playing the first couple of levels. So far so good and also no bugs / glitches as yet which is better than ep 1. I will be trying portal later on followed by some TF2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 does episode 2 include portal and Team fortress 2? if it does I might just not eat this month lol Yes. I am sat at work willing the time to go faster to skive o clock whereupon I can go home and eagerly play the last bastion of non-shit gaming Go go Gordon Freeman Portal looks dead cool too. I too was a bit miffed that I had to pay for HL2 and EP1 again, and then I remembered that HL2 is the only game where I'll forgive them for it and where's my wallet -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I played counterstrike years ago. In fact I was somewhat of an addict and that addiction actually stopped me from playing any computer games at all. Is this latest batch of the half life game just the same as the original half life that CS was spawned from or is there a newer spawning of CS? Woah its freaky but I am now getting flashbacks of damn good CS kills when I put down some very high ranking CS players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 IT'S SO GOOD! IT'S SO GOOD! Oh joy, oh rapture, they haven't shafted it or sawn it in half to fit it on an ps-box How do they still keep it so good after all this time? The set pieces, the plot, the characters, the action... It's all so good and more than makes up for the Bioshock disappointment Damn this work business getting in the way. Pah. Although I don't want to finish it too fast I spose -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 The HL2 series is the best, and has been the best since release, fps game of all time. Everything else just lacks that little something. Ill get round to playing EP2 once I can put Medival II: Total war down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
