| quote: | Pre-Purchase The Orange Box, Play Team Fortress 2 Next Week
September 6, 2007, 8:24 am - Eric Twelker
The Orange Box—featuring Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Team Fortress 2, and Portal, as well as the complete Half-Life 2 experience to date—is now available for pre-purchase via Steam. Pre-purchase The Orange Box before the October 10 release to save 10% off the regular price and get exclusive access to the Team Fortress 2 beta on September 17.
The Orange Box, penned by IGN.com as "the package which could legitimately be called the deal of the century," features three highly-awaited new games by Valve: Half-Life 2: Episode Two, the second installment in the Half-Life 2 episodic trilogy; Team Fortress 2, the sequel to the game that put class-based, multiplayer team warfare on the map; and Portal, the game that blends puzzles, first person action, and adventure gaming to produce an experience like no other.
To bring gamers up to date with the Half-Life 2 universe, The Orange Box also includes Half-Life 2, the best-selling and highest-rated action game series of all time, and the episodic debut Half-Life 2: Episode One. Customers who already own these titles will have the ability to conveniently "gift" them to a friend upon official release of The Orange Box.
Starting Monday, September 17, those who pre-purchase The Orange Box via Steam can download and activate the beta release of Team Fortress 2 (TF2). This year's most anticipated online action game, TF2 delivers new game types, a signature art style powered by Valve's next generation animation technology, persistent player statistics, and more.
As a special bonus, those who pre-purchase The Orange Box via Steam will also receive a copy of Peggle Extreme. PopCap and Valve have teamed up to create a special edition of the game cited by MSNBC as one of the “Top 5 Most Addicting Games of All Time.” This first ever collaboration is themed around content from Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Team Fortress 2 and Portal which will positively result in Extreme Fever. |

Those bastards canceled the black box...which was to ship with only Half Life Episode 2, Portal, and Team Fortress 2...all for $30
I already have HL2 and Episode 1, so this sucks...but I'm buying it anyway. Team Fortress 2 multiplayer alone will be worth $40.
Throw in another Half Life episode + Portal = hellz yeah it's worth the $$ |

Adrian_Finol is a programmer for Valve and he posts a bit in the Games section. He's set up a special SA v Developers match on Day 1 of the beta. Right now they are setting up 2 servers (24 players each) and a list has alrady been filled out, but people are dropping like flies because of the timeslot. Put your name up there and you might get bumped in :)
and yes, portal looks wicked :)
I forget the new tech in the Source engine:
Phong Shading
DX10 dazzle
Cinematic Ragdoll
Advanced soft particles :) |
