Half Life 2 ep1? ep2 ?
I`m confused, the orange box, does it have half life 2, ep1 and ep2 included?
is half life 2 not just ep1+ep2 put together or is it a different game? i have never played half life before and i want to "start" at the beguining" with them, reading the box here and it looks like it has 3 seperate half life 2 games inside :confused: tried wiki but thats not helping matters :razz: |

HL2 was released quite a while before HL2 Episode1, then followed by HL2 Episode 2 |
I f you want to start at the beginning then you need the original "half life" ;)

The orange box consists of - half life 2
episode 1 episode 2 tf2 portal Now if you want to start at the beginning you need to buy half life first which is widely considered as one of the greatest games of all time. Then you need to play half life 2, then episode 1 and finally episode 2. But dont buy these games for anything other than the pc.They play far better on the pc.All in my opinion of course :) PS has your mail service improved at all recently? hope so:D |
If you have never played half life, then if you buy it now it will seem really dated :(
Half Life 1 passed me by, at the time I did not have a machine that could play it. By the time I did, my expectations for eye candy were not fulfilled in Half Life 1. Half Life 2 is a good enough starting point imo. |
Isnt there a port of the original half life using the source engine.
But if you want to be thorough and play the full series from the begining you would also need the expansions, blue shift & opposing forces for the original half life. I was looking at buying the orange box yesterday. In one Game store it wass £30 then in the Game around the corner it was £19.99. But you can get it for about £17 delivered off play.com :) |

Half Life 2 is the main game
Episode 1 came about 6 months later and added to the story. Ep 2 is more recent and adds more. Worthwhile getting, great game |
i started half life 2
got to the part when some blokes in gimp masks start raiding the apartment blocks, and got beaten to death :confused: tried again, and ran through the apartment, out the other end and towards the stairs and was met with loads of blokes in gimp masks ready to beat me to death, so i played portal instead:lol1: |

I've not played HL, but I have played through HL2, Episode 1 and Episode 2 and don't feel I've lost anything in missing out on HL. Once you've finished with the official episodes, have a look at the "Minerva: Metastasis" mod, it's very, very good. |
