Its not just the engine move, they both use higher res textures and more detailed models, and the like.

Also, retail fails, get the Steam version.

No, fuck you.

Buy the Orange Box retail so you don't have to download half the amount of shit. (then you've got TF2, Portal and all the HL2 games).

Orange box yeah, but afaik he only wanted TF2.... TF2 retail is a ripoff.

If you're getting the entire orange box package (which you really may as well because its an incredible deal) then yes do retail because you'll kill yourself waiting for steam to download all the games.

Half life 2 is another must on my list of FPS games to buy. Oh and episode 2 asuming my computer can run that. Bah, I'll just get the whole series.

It helps when you read. :p

And if he wants HL2 as well, he may as well go and buy them all like this (I imagine it would work out cheaper, and even if it doesn't he gets portal :awesome:)

You WILL be able to run all of the Orange Box. If for some reason the FX5500 is worse than my FX5200, then you won't, but you will be able to run it all.

Sorry for this bump but I’d rather not create a new topic just to give you an update. Last night I finely Downloaded TF2 (and GMod :D). I haven’t really had much playing time, as the majority of servers with people in them are so full my frame rate is eaten down to nothing. Would anyone have any recommendation for a good server to play on that does not have above 16 players? Also, I have a graphics question; while playing almost everyone has a blue like tint to them and it makes it rather difficult to decipher what team is what. Any clue as to what is causing this and how I can get rid of it. I’ll mess around more with the graphics settings to see if I can’t figure it out myself once I get home.

And last, does anyone have any game play tips that might help me turn down the suck? Things like what class dominates what or tactics to consider. The classes I’m looking into playing the most are Spy and Scout so any tips for them would be greatly appreciated. I’ll watch some montages as well to get a better idea for my classes.

Great class tutorials^

E; and these aren't so much tutorials as demonstrations, but still good (ignore the dispenser vids :p)V

Caboos, post a screenshot please to show that blue tint of yours.

Here is the picture you requested MNC, I guess the tint all depends on the lighting because it's yellow here.

I have no idea what the problem is. My friend thinks it may be my color correction option in my graphics settings which is turned off and grayed out. The funny thing is that when I play in custom game this does not happen.
