Yesterday players of Team Fortress 2 on the 360 might have noticed a new update needed to be downloaded. While this was not the highly anticipated update which added all of the new class weapons, maps, and gametypes that have been thus far released only on the PC version, it did add some cool stuff.
The Xbox One Backward Compatible versions of Xbox 360 titles Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2, The Orange Box, and Portal are now enhanced for Xbox One X, Microsoft announced.
Nothing but great memories with all these games! Playing Left for dead series during the college years with friends was the best.
Love to see titles coming to BC with enhancements. Would love even more to see Half Life 3.
The year is 2007. Console owners tap their fingers in barely contained impatience. For years they have been starved of Valve's delicious, full-bodied courses, forced to watch from the bleachers as Valve mixes a unique blend of kinetic first-person with extraordinary tech. Besides a brief dalliance with the original Xbox and the PlayStation 2 - which produce pale imitations of its best work - Valve has remained faithful to the PC.
And then, in a flash, five of them arrive at once; neatly packaged morsels for a new generation reared on Microsoft's & later Sony's consoles. Five games, all in one orange box. Valve serves the PC too, for it is October 18 - a day of celebration - and everyone should feast.
Valve didn't really "release" 5 of its greatest games in a single day, Half-Life 2 came out 3 years before The Orange Box. In no other context do we talk about a port being the "release" of a game.
The orange box was an excellent release. I don't think Valve will do much beyond online only games now.
Robin Walker discusses the impact of Portal, Team Fortress 2 and more.
Little cheeky to talk about it when you know we're still waiting for Half Life 3...the Orange Box included Episode 2 and is still left unfinished story wise to this day.
At this rate we better get a second Orange Box. Half Life 3, Half Life Remake (Black Mesa Mod), TF3 or L4D3 and the HL spin offs like Blue Shift.
Don't know what valve are going to do with Half Life after Mike Laidlaw posted the short version of Episode 3 in August and changed the names and genders.
Im surprised there still updating this game
Update? Give me a break, all the update did s give people the opportunity to tamper with class limit and turn crits on and off. I still play Tf2 on the 360 actively and have friends list populated with Tf2 fans; and not one of them has embraced the update. We really don't understand what valve was thinking. Example, yesterday (mid-game) the host decides that there will be no more power classes and poof the classes that were kicking his b teams but were relegated to scouts. If valve was trying to give rage quitters an alternative, then in that they succeeded. We that have played 360 TF2 since launch, have patiently waited for updates, and really were gobsmacked by what was released. Its like expecting a puppy for Christmas, but instead getting a statue of a dog.
here is where i should ask the pc gamers to not state the obvious.. but this is N4G
...if they did, I may have to whip out the orange box again!
If this new content came a little sooner or alongside the PC version I would still play it on the 360 TF2 seesm to be the only dud in the console version of orange box the rest of the games are just as good as the PC counterpart
