Anyone pick this up for the PC yet? if you pre-order The Orange Box you can start playing TF2 "Beta"- which is essentially the final game seeing as how its set to be released next week. Preorder is only $45 bucks. $15 off of the Xbox version isnt too shabby.

Looks to be pretty fun and in-depth, but I'll probably still be playing Halo 3 or getting elite in R6:V until November and Cod4, Assassin's Creed and Mass Effect come out. But still, it's like 3-4 games in one box depending on how you count it.

been playing for a few weeks now Mauricio. It's great. I would have to call TF2 a sleeper hit of the year. It's going to be huge when it drops. The gameplay is simple yet it has lots to offer from a team strategy standpoint.

Well, if you've been playing on PC, you'd already know how the classes play.. I won't be getting it for the 360 for a while (not buying both PC and Xbox versions at once) but I've been playing in the beta and it seems pretty good so far.

i almost fell out of my chair laughing

anyway i'm really pumped for this and have never even played half life, which is definitely saying something: it looks awesome! anything that will drag me away from halo is welcome, and the multitude of games you get with it is saweet

Does Orange Box include Lost Coast as well?

@isn - yeah, i agree, sleeper hit. the gameplay is really good. Having to use a different strategy for each class on each map is great. It makes for lots of gameplay.
btw - my mouse skills are NOWHERE near as good as the Quake3 days. =(


@AndrewNeo- yeah iim kinda forced into buying both PC and Xbox versions becuse i wanted to play early so i bought the pc version but everyone i know is on an Xbox so i'll pick it up when thats available next week.

Can't wait to never play shitty Halo 3 ever again. October 10 can't get here soon enough.

I wouldn't call it shitty, massive battles on Sandtrap or Valhalla can only be done on H3. Let alone Forge and saved films where you can see exactly how I owned you.

I'm sure Orange Box will be a good game, but I won't buy it ;)

Massive turds are still turds. I was hoping for a game to hold me over until CoD4 and Halo did not deliver.

Orange Box will hopefully rectify the situation.

In case anyone hadn't seen this yet, they have the Heavy Weapons guy video with the guy speaking his native language of Russian. The lips have been re-sync'd and there are english subtitles on the video. It's interesting to see the dialogue translated into russian and then translated back to english again. =)
