I'm in the middle of playing HL2 and I think the load times are a little faster. It could just be my imagination though...

I hope it fixed that wierd GlaDOS AI at the end of portal. The game started getting all glitchy and GlaDOS sprayed poisonous gas at me.

Valve and Epic are the best out there. Valve especially is amazing. I wish they'd have included Half Life 1 on this box. Sounds greedy to ask for MORE, but it would have introduced an audience that may not have experienced HL back in the day. I don't want to sound like I'm griping. AGain, Valve is way ahead when it comes to what they do.

PSN Patch Notes - The Orange Box 3/20/08
127,598kb

Team Fortress 2
-Adjusted Spy backstab damage. Backstabs now do 200% more damage.
-Reduced maximum Soldier rocket reserve to 4.
-Scouts rebalanced. Asking for a dispenser here will now alert nearby Engineers in the same manner that calling for a Medic does.
-Trains were deemed overpowered, and have been removed from cp_Well.

Portal
-Fixed a bug preventing some players from hearing Weighted Companion Cube "stab" dialog.
-Removed cvar cl_cake_density
-Spawning an Orange Portal no longer causes division by zero.

Half Life 2: Episode 2
-Due to player complaints, Alyx Vance no longer follows the player, but instead does a sexy little dance.
-Striders have been outfitted with Gravity Guns. After all, fair's fair.
-Launching the Gnome into space now allows players to watch the game's true ending, which reveals the GMan to be none other than a socio-political charicature of postindustrial corporate greed.
-Tweaked antlion AI. Antlions now respond to attacks with collective singing.

Spawning an Orange Portal caused a division by zero error? That's pretty funny.

Because companies don't have to finish software to release it anymore. See: Vista, Forza 2

Because the PS3 port was handled by a third party studio who were given a task and a deadline, and little else.

If it bothers you so much, get it on 360 or PC, as there aren't any issues per se.

I'm sure you're not excusing EA's absurd behavior here, Crono. Both companies should be embarrassed for letting that pile of shit out the door, and both names should be rightfully tarnished for even needing to put this patch out. Probably more EA than Valve, but that's another story. It's good that they finally got around to fixing the issues, but 4 months too late.

I've encountered an issue on the 360 version. I'm in "Our Benefactors" in HL2 and the screen freezes at the same point every time.

I borrowed a copy from a friend and I still have the same problem.

Any suggestions would be MUCH APPRECIATED as this is my first time playing it.

PLEASE & THANKS!

(It freezes in such a way that the only way out of it is to completely turn off the console, btw.)

According to the threads over in the Orange Box forum on Steam's forum, these are all fixes for Team Fortress II, and do nothing about the pathetic load times and framerate issues on the other games. FAIL.

Too little, too late.
The fact we had to wait *months* for a patch for issues that shouldn't have been there in the first place, along with Valve's *complete* FU to customers on the issue up until now by not commenting on it, is enough to ensure I will never, ever buy a Valve product again - no matter what it is.

Why does every review constantly complain about framerate issues. I own this, and I rarely get any issues. WTF MICROSOFT IS TRYING TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD... again.
