The Orange Box is a video game compilation developed and published by Valve Corporation, which contains five games: Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episode One, Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Portal, and Team Fortress 2. The Windows version was released on October 10, 2007, as both retail boxed copy, and as a download available through Valve's Steam service. The Xbox 360 version was also released on October 10, 2007. A PlayStation 3 version was released on November 23, 2007, in Europe and December 11, 2007, in the US. Originally, there were plans to release The Black Box, a budget-priced compilation containing only the new material, but this was eventually canceled.

This is the first Xbox 360 game to have 99 Achievements, exceeding the 50 Achievement limit that Microsoft maintains (up to 60 through downloadable content), though the score only adds up to 1000 Gamerscore (the typical maximum for an Xbox 360 retail game). The achievements are focused on Half-Life 2 but are spread through all five games.
After the Orange Box release, PC owners were given a free download of Peggle Extreme, a cut-down version of puzzle game Peggle Deluxe, featuring artwork from the Orange Box. Also included was a download of the game Half-Life 2: Lost Coast. This brought the number of games in the release to 7.
Portal is a single-player first-person puzzle game developed by Valve. The game was released in a bundle package known as The Orange Box for PC and Xbox 360 on October 10, 2007, and for the PlayStation 3 on December 3, 2007. The Microsoft Windows version of the game is also available for download separately through Steam. The game consists of a series of puzzles which must be solved by teleporting the player's character and other simple objects using the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device. The goal of each puzzle is to reach an exit point, represented by an elevator. The "portal gun" and the unusual physics it creates are the emphasis of this game.
During development, the simultaneous release of two game compilation packages with different content combinations was touted by Valve as a new direction for the game industry. Gabe Newell, co-founder of Valve, said, "The Black Box and The Orange Box represent a new approach to publishing multiple products on multiple platforms." After first discontinuing The Black Box, however, Valve released all the new material for individual download via Steam.
However, nearing its release date, Valve chose to leave out three of the levels from the PC version of Half-Life 2, Episode One, and Episode Two. Valve said this was mainly due to pressure from EA forced them to keep on schedule, as those levels were never finished before its release. Valve intended on releasing these levels later on, as downloadable content, but this remains to be seen.[source?]

The soundtrack for The Orange Box consists of music that Valve employees composed for Half-Life 2: Episode One, Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Portal, and Team Fortress 2. It also includes the original version and an exclusive remix of "Still Alive", both by Jonathan Coulton. It was released on December 21, 2007, and is sold by the official Valve Store, Amazon.com, and digital music services such as iTunes, Napster, and eMusic.[50] A more-complete version of this soundtrack that also includes music files from Half-Life and Half-Life 2 was released on Steam as part of the Audiosurf package.[51] "Still Alive" was subsequently released as a free downloadable song for the rhythm game Rock Band on March 31, 2008.[52]
Pre-purchasing of the Windows version on Steam began on September 11, 2007. Those who pre-purchased via this method received a ten-percent discount and were able to play the Team Fortress 2 beta starting on September 17, 2007.[53] The original PC version of The Orange Box came with Peggle Extreme, a ten-level playable demo of Peggle Deluxe, which contained levels with graphical themes of games contained The Orange Box.[54] However Peggle Extreme was later free to download for anyone with a Steam account and is not included in the current PC version of the Orange Box on Steam.[55][56] Half-Life 2: Lost Coast was also technically included with the PC version of The Orange Box, as it was offered as a free download to all owners of Half-Life 2.[57]
I was able to install Steam, and from there, install HL2 and L4D. I copied the contents of the L4D DVD into a temp directory (as root), then did a chown to change the ownership to my user account. Then I got past the permission error, and was able to install steam. Once Steam was installed, I had it download HL2 and L4D. HL2 works out of the box, but L4D will require some tweaking. I still might try the MSI approach, since I'm not sure how stable my solution is going to be. thanks!
The Orange Box is a compilation of video game which comprises of five different games created by Valve. The games included are half-life 2 and the first-ever extension called episode one. The first episode had already been released earlier separately. Three new games were added in the compilation called the second version of stand-alone expanded, 2nd episode of half-life 2, and portal the very famous puzzle game as well as the team fortress 2.
Throughout the board, all the games included in The Orange Box are played from the perspective of the first person. Out of five, almost four are first-person players. Portal is an exceptional cases as it a puzzle game. In the game called half-life 2 and its extensions, the player has to find their way through several levels in the game that are open-ended, exploding through the human and mutant foes as the Gordon Freeman. All the games included in this compilation have very interesting gameplay which is rarely ending. The gamers are glued to the screen while they play each of these games.
Thus, out of all five games that are incorporated in The Orange Box, the maximum of the storyline emerges from half-life 2 and its extensions. The best three-game sequence is followed by Gordon Freeman who is a scientist who wakes her from a cry sleep in a wire that is governed by a devilish empire called Combine. Happening after a period the happenings of the authentic game occur, Gordon tries to appoint as well as empower a team of fighters for overthrowing the combine and reclamation of the freedom of Earth. There is an important amount of complication in the plot of the game, so the fans of Sci-fi are going to enjoy playing this game.
The popular first-person shooter/action game Half-Life 2 is now available for Mac OS X. At the moment it costs $6.99, which is 30% off the regular $10 price. The expansions of Half-Life 2: Episodes One and Two are also available to download for $5.99 each.
GoldSrc and Source games have been released and re-released in multiple regions across the world and at different times since their release. The tables below will list almost all the community have found so far. Note that download links for some versions are omitted due to concerns with piracy.
Okay. These are the templates on the high end level. Levels one and two are significant, so they're much more lengthy documents. Level three is three pages blank. Level four is two pages blank. If I have a few minutes, I will show you at least a level one blank template so you can see what that looks like. You can also download these, I'm told, on the right-hand side. Again, they're in Excel format. What I'm not going to be able to show you is we have annotations inside the yellow boxes that give guidance to whoever's filling these TMPs out. These notes help describe what we are looking for in different areas. So those notes we hope are helpful to our designers. Let me say this here. Because RIDOT got into this late in the game, this document was helpful. This is a 2005 Federal Highway document on developing and implementing TMPs. I'm sure many states have seen this. Many states helped develop this. This document was helpful. In addition to our local Federal Highway Office, they were with us every step of the way and in establishing or TMP process.
J. Symoun Thank you. We have a lot of interest in the templates. Those are available along with the example for download in the lower right corner. Question, what tools do you use for modeling in Rhode Island? 041b061a72
