a lot of peeps on the TF:2 forums think the Pyro is severely underpowered...i think he only needs a tweak in hit detection. that being said...i cant wait! pryo is one of my favorite classes and im sure ive done everything imaginable by Valve so far. hopefully the achievements are not stupid ones that hinder the teamplay....like the medic ones. it sucked having a medic healing you only to run away to go bonesaw another medic or needle gun a scout :/

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.

To not have another Left 4 Dead is straight up criminal.

How Valve released five of its greatest games in a single day

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.

Man 2007 was a great year for gaming.

OpenGL2395d ago

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.

Back when Valve made a lot of great titles

-Foxtrot2402d ago

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.
