The Orange Box: This Is Exactly Why We Need a Patch

onAXIS: "If you are wondering why we keep on posting these series belonging to The Orange Box petition, it is because we are fed up of going into a server in Team Fortress 2 and find moving weapons or weapons stuck in the walls. Or going in to get disconnected hundreds of times. Or playing Portal and getting killed only to wait 30 seconds to respawn. Or playing Half-Life 2 and dying due to that crappy frame-rate. Or once again playing Team Fortress 2 to realize we don't have all the features we should. Watch this new video from the petition above, and you'll realize why EA is slacking, and we need a patching."

I'd rather there be a petition to ban EA from ever handling a PS3 port ever again.

sonarus6601d ago

sigh. Just don't buy the game. Most of us knew the port was crap before purchasing you could have just said no.

prunchess6601d ago

Where is this petition! I want to sign it now!

omni_atlas6601d ago

Another reason why....EA SUCKS.

gEnKiE6601d ago

Wow, I have never seen any of that stuff happen playing online. If it did, then I would just quit the game.

gEnKiE6601d ago

Just waiting for someone to say, "That must be the PS3 version......"

Nothing but great memories with all these games! Playing Left for dead series during the college years with friends was the best.

Skull5212772d ago

Love to see titles coming to BC with enhancements. Would love even more to see Half Life 3.

gangsta_red2772d ago

To not have another Left 4 Dead is straight up criminal.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH2772d ago

So many memories of throwing my controller with Portal lol.

How Valve released five of its greatest games in a single day

The year is 2007. Console owners tap their fingers in barely contained impatience. For years they have been starved of Valve's delicious, full-bodied courses, forced to watch from the bleachers as Valve mixes a unique blend of kinetic first-person with extraordinary tech. Besides a brief dalliance with the original Xbox and the PlayStation 2 - which produce pale imitations of its best work - Valve has remained faithful to the PC.

And then, in a flash, five of them arrive at once; neatly packaged morsels for a new generation reared on Microsoft's & later Sony's consoles. Five games, all in one orange box. Valve serves the PC too, for it is October 18 - a day of celebration - and everyone should feast.

Man 2007 was a great year for gaming.

OpenGL3136d ago

Valve didn't really "release" 5 of its greatest games in a single day, Half-Life 2 came out 3 years before The Orange Box. In no other context do we talk about a port being the "release" of a game.

The orange box was an excellent release. I don't think Valve will do much beyond online only games now.

AuraAbjure3136d ago

Valve reflects on The Orange Box, ten years later

Robin Walker discusses the impact of Portal, Team Fortress 2 and more.

pwnsause_returns3145d ago

shut up valve....give me HL3....

FallenAngel19843145d ago

Back when Valve made a lot of great titles

-Foxtrot3144d ago

Little cheeky to talk about it when you know we're still waiting for Half Life 3...the Orange Box included Episode 2 and is still left unfinished story wise to this day.

At this rate we better get a second Orange Box. Half Life 3, Half Life Remake (Black Mesa Mod), TF3 or L4D3 and the HL spin offs like Blue Shift.

Reefskye3143d ago (Edited 3143d ago )

Don't know what valve are going to do with Half Life after Mike Laidlaw posted the short version of Episode 3 in August and changed the names and genders.
