Forums - Microsoft - Has anyone here played HL2: The Orange Box yet?

I wonder how voice taunts and commands work on consoles...I press C then 3 and I CHEER! I wonder how that works with limited buttons...a radial menu?

It may work like Shadowrun (which allows PC vs 360 multiplayer action).  Because many PC players do not have voice chat (but all 360 players do) Shadowrun also has a taunt system.  Taunts can be instantly sent by hitting different directions on the D-pad.

 Does anyone know if TF2 will support PC vs 360 ?

 As an old TF and HL fan, I'm looking forward to this one.

Huh? All 360 players have voice chat? I doubt that. All is a big number.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

There is no cross platform play for TF2 or any Valve games...it would require Valve to create some sort of system to work with Microsoft across the 360 and PC. Microsoft is trying to use its own Windows Live service to play games like Shadowrun and such across the 360 and PC, I doubt they'll let Steam users do the same.

 That is a big number.  But everyone who got a premium Xbox 360 certainly does.

I haven't had the chance to play portal or episode 2 yet (I've been at work) but I'm happy to report that TF2 runs very will in Linux. You must use wine (of course), and there's some problems with high end shader stuff so it doesn't look quite as pretty as windows, but it is 100% playable.

I have to go download portal/ep. 2 now...

Ok.

The ending credits for Portal are the best for any game I've ever played. Play through Portal now so you know what I mean!!

^^ Just got through the first stage... would have made it faster but I´m a little drunk... and portal is not a drinkers game... but man is it fun... love the sarcastic robot voice...



 

 

 

The end song in Portal is fucking hilarious.

"I hope you'll find someone else to help you
Maybe Black Mesa
THAT WAS A JOKE HAHA FAT CHANCE"

Great stuff.

For portal can users create levels?

I imagine the game would become infinitely replayable if there were user mods available.
