The Orange BOx

[ShadesOfBlue]

figured id make my first post here about this game .. im not a Half Life player or should say i never took that route i got stuck on UT99 early on and followed it all the way to Ut3 Demo which is out right now .. about the orange box .. im pretty impressed with finding a FPS with a single player story line for a change .. the graphix are sweet with the 8600GT and and the environmental sound is nice .. i havent gotten very far at all due to work and all so i havent got a chance to play the other four games .. Team Fortress is real close to the UT weapons Factory mod i used to play heavily so im looking forward to playing that .. Steam is a whole new expeirence for me .. still dont quite understand how it is that you can log into it and download the game at a remote PC (the d*** thing installed out to 13gigs). teh framerates im not sure of but so far has been real smooth and fluid with no chop at all (still need to test that out in an intense firefight). So far im real pleased with it and would give it no less than an 8 out of 10. Its worth the $50 imo.on a side note i got the ut3 demo to run smooth on a geforce 6100
but omg it was the worse ugliest game ever.. the guns flickered nonstop.. you couldnt make out anything except vauge outlines of the vehicles in the vctf map .. it was funny because in the single player mode i still didnt experience any chop i just couldnt see anything lol.
I still wasnt real impressed with it on the 8600GT. I was expecteing more life like graphix and all i saw was the same ole crap except now its huge and overdetailed. At least the mini gun kills again.
