Is this the game you're looking for?Gusto said:
So many times this. :angry:Gusto said:
Which I admit is one reason I bought the game. It felt unfinished but Valve was going to add more levels and weapons and characters etc. So eventually it would be worth the $50 price tag. And heck over the year all theyve really added is completeling the versus maps and adding one new small map for the survivor mode.
I still think it would be awesome if it was an expansion instead of a whole new game. The reason is that if it a whole new game, the old version may not be supported much longer (or as much) why? cause the newer game has all the cool features people would want to play.Chummer said:
It could feel as such if you already bought Half Life 2 and Episode 1 & 2. I didn't have any of those, so it was a great deal for me.Cat said:The Orange Box a ripoff?
Well, Valve was originally going to have a Black Box and an Orange Box. The Black Box would only contain the new games (HL2:Ep2, Portal, TF2) and would cost less than the Orange Box. For the PC gamers who already owned HL2 and Ep1, it felt like they were being forced to buy those games again, just to get the new content. Gamers who only wanted Ep2 felt even more ripped-off, since only the bundle was available at launch. They just wanted Ep2 for $20 like they paid for Ep1, all the other games for $30 wasn't value, it was just a way to get fanboys to buy games they otherwise wouldn't have.Cat said:The Orange Box a ripoff?
It took me over a year to play HLEP2 after purchase. I didn't encounter a single spoiler and I wasn't really trying. Was it really that bad?figmentPez said:Well, Valve was originally going to have a Black Box and an Orange Box.

Now, I was excited about Portal, and TF2 didn't seem like an awful bonus, so I was happy with the price. But I know there are people who just don't play puzzle games or multi-player, and follow the HL series for exactly what it is, single player FPS with a story. That group was right to feel scammed by the Orange Box, especially with how hard it was to avoid spoilers about Ep2 in the time between the Orange Box coming out and Ep2 being available by itself.
Were you part of any HL community? If I'd cared about Ep2 spoilers, I would have had to avoid a significant portion of the content at Planet Half-Life for a while, and I just read their news updates. I don't participate in their forums.Twitch said:
You're missing out. You could have gotten the Orange Box for $10 a while back, more than worth the risk. Episode 1 kinda felt like a too-short rehash of City 17 and the Citadel, though I personally thought the interactions with Alyx were more than worth the $20 it debuted at. On the other hand Episode 2 was amazing through and through. It's easy worth more the $15 it sells for by itself on Steam. It's a good hunk of content. The forest and caves are unlike anything in HL2, and the new enemies feel very menacing. Don't miss Episode 2, seriously. It's amazing story telling.elph said:
Yes. The characters, the pacing, the objectives, the change-ups and curve-balls thrown at you. Everything about that battle is awesome. Feels hectic and frantic, like you're on the edge of survival, but without actually being a brutally difficult fight.bhamv2 said:
Sure if it's just sitting around collecting virtual dust. I'll check it out. Thanks!figmentPez said:

And, it just dawned on me that I've still got extra copies HL2 and Ep1 in my Steam account from when I bought the Orange Box. You want Episode 1 Elph?
Anyone who posts that video on the Left 4 Dead 2 section of the Steam forums is having it deleted by the moderators.Gadzooks said:

Beta version of the SDK, with no support, yet, for the average player to play the maps without jumping through hoops.Chibibar said:
right... so Valve might be a bit slow *wink wink nudge nudge* from their original promise but at least they are going with SOMETHING........figmentPez said:
If all they'd promised was an SDK, I'd only be a little worried that maps designed for L4D2 woudln't work on the first game. However, they promised new campaigns, new weapons and new enemies for L4D, and they haven't even breathed a word of that happening.Chibibar said:
heh.... probably all those cool ideas are going into L4D2figmentPez said:
(I'm guessing here)
A big-wig like Gabe Newell co-founder and managing director of Valve, who said "So each time we've released one of those for Team Fortress 2 we've seen about a 20% increase in the number of people who are playing online. And that number is really important because it determines how many community created maps there are, how many servers are running, and so on. So we'll do the same thing with Left 4 Dead where we'll have the initial release and then we'll release more movies, more characters, more weapons, unlockables, achievements, because that's the way you continue to grow a community over time."Chibibar said:
