Default half life 2(orange box)360

Well I have just had a play on this game, I was expecting it to be a bit different but its the exact same Half life 2 from the PC that was out 2 years ago?? except its for the 360 !! Surely, after all this time has passed they could of at least made the effort to make a different version ??

oh I thought HL2 Ep 2 was the second, not the third in the series of games. I've not heard anything about there being an episode one that is different to the original game.

There was HL2, then HL2 Episode 1, and now HL2 Episode 2.

The PC version of episode 2 has much much better graphics IMHO.

Motion blur, High dynamic range lighting, bloom etc

Definitely looks nicer

How silly of me, thinking episode 2 would actually be episode 2, and not really episode 3!!

Looks like I have some another Half life 2 game to look forward to then

Yes it is indeed. You get to drive round in a proper V8 muscle car albiet with most of the bodywork missing. I'll try and post up some pics.

Isn't motion blur DX10 (Vista only) Hope not.

Quite looking forward to this and I'm going to make the effort to play TF2 online as I've never had time to play online multiplayers.

I wonder if the naked Alyx mod still works. Makes for some rather amusing screen shots.
