Half Life 2 was reason enough to buy the Orange Box. Team Fortress and Portal were awesome additions. In TF 2, this is the Sniper. He will kill you dead before you even know he is there. This is a funny character bio. Remember, as long as there are people left, someone is going to want somebody dead.
At 7pm ET tonight, you might want to fire up your Steam client if you own Team Fortress 2 on your PC. A pretty big, and free, update is coming your way. Here’s some the things can expect from the update:
Plenty of updates to the Source Engine, including fixes for networking, graphics, and player statistics, plus improvements to Source TV for tournament viewing.
Three of the currently available maps (Dustbowl, Granary, CTF_Well) will see updates for enhanced performance and gameplay.
A new map, Badlands, a new map that pushes control-point gameplay onto vertical landscapes.
Did we mention all this is free? So if The Orange Box on PC is your thing, start prepping your shooting finger and that FPS mouse.
No word on console patches or updates for this content. Requests to Valve for this information were not immediately returned.
EA sent over some new screens for Team Fortress 2, shipping in The Orange Box. This looks to be one of the best multiplayer titles of the year, up there with Halo 3, CoD4, and Warhawk.
With all the hype surround Halo 3, it’s almost easy to forget that Half-Life 2 and it’s spin-off games are coming for the Xbox 360 and PS3 later this year.
Here’s a trailer showing the contents of the Black Box, which includes Half-Life 2: Episode 2, Team Fortress, and Portal. Personally, I’m going for the Orange Box which also includes the full Half-Life 2 and Episode 1.
