[BlueWolf72]

lolwut

this is hideous

 

[G(ordon)-man]

OB2 looks normal.

 

[Pink Scottish]

I think the huge images are a lot disturbing... I'll hide them

 

[kineaesth]

Incredible.


All of your fake screenshots are rather amateurish, as you seem to think that bumping the contrast up makes them look more realistic, which it really doesn't.

 

[Murray]

Orange box for PS3 <3

 

[PJ]

I actually really like this. This is the best one there. However, EP3 should have a bigger picture and be at the top, then portal 2 with a decent picture, the L4D2 at the bottom. You waste a lot of space at the top, so you should put the title rigth next to PC DVD, and the 2.0 centered below it. Then you have more space for artwork. Looks very professional though

The fake screenshots are pretty terrible, except for the second one, which is average.

 

[Barnz]

what is this i don't even

 

[MJ12]

^Got that image as well. I hope Valve takes note of that design.

 

[Hectic Glenn]

error gabe something poo is shit? What? I assume it is some joke aimed at the fact Valve aren't supporting PS3 anymore.

Nice try, why did you pick the purple box?

 

[Barnz]

"error gabe said ps3 is shit" that's what it says on ps3 box

 

[Hectic Glenn]

You sure that middle word is 'said' I can see a 'y' or 'g' in it I think :S

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

"says"

 

[Lizardizzle]

It says "Error Gabe says Ps3 is shit"

 

[Pink Scottish]

Yeah, "Error: Gabe says ps3 is shit", he said that he doesn't like the Playstation 3 fault of a bunch of errors, he said there will be not L4D2 for Ps3, so i can imagine the next box neither...

 

[Pink Scottish]

I'm gonna show a missing g-man audio, sadly in spanish: when Episode One was in production, they used a different G-man line! But when the game was released had some changes and the spanish HL2 team forgot to remove the translated audio line. What a pretty mistake .

 

[jet_porkins]

Up front, good attempts. Thanks for sharing.

ep3_artic03 doesn't make a whole lot of practical sense. It gives me the impression that they are standing in the middle of nowhere with working computers that aren't plugged into anything.

ep3_base01 is a little too "busy" for me. There's something about it that is just plain noisy to me.

I can kind of see how sep3_overworld05 would work, but only because that's how we the players visually see the Gman cinematically 95% of the time: a ghastly pale face with piercing eyes, standing in front of an eerie background or a solid dark canvas. So while it's not entirely creative, it's plausible.

However, Alyx's head looks like E.T., so fail.

 

[Schall]

I vaguely recall seeing a screenshot with exactly the same hallway as the second image on Google Images before, which leads me to believe that is not your work.

 

[jet_porkins]

The hallway is from Episodes 1 and 2 when Mossman is talking on the video recorder. The level design itself is not his work.

 

[JUL3]

I think you guys are being a little harsh, again.

Yeah they're all really good, except for the PS3 one, & the secret message was just gay.

PS3 is an amazing console, anyone argues I just say "At least PS3 doesn't have a failure rate of 54%"

Orange Box 2.0 was the best.

 

[Unfocused]

The screenshots are kinda meh, but the covers are better than the Orange Box cover, which was pretty awful.

 

[Gman]

I went with the purple box.I know its fake but its pretty convincing.

 

[MorganFreeman911]

Didn't like any, if I were a developer and HAD to choose one, I'd take the Purple Box.

 

[Pink Scottish]

I sent the Orange Box 2.0 and the Green Box to Gabe Newell. I don't know if he liked them, but he gave me a thanks.

 

[Danimal]

Do you know why the Orange Box is called the Orange Box, aspiring design apprentice?

EDIT: My IRL friend once traced over an image of Gabe Newell, depicting him as a crime-syndicate mob-boss; it wasn't the best picture, but he got 3 posters sent to him as a thanks.

 

[mr.chips]

this is cool, makes me feel excited for HL2 Episode Three for some reason

 

[Zubin]

Damn if there was something like that actually being released I'd JIZZ IN MY PANTS!

 

[stealth1525]

What made you think there will be counter strike 2, on any platform, even xbox?

 

[LoneWanderer]

Because Valve needs more money?

 

[TheValveNinja]

Because Valve needs more money?

The day CS goes on the xbox or ps3 will be the day of the apocolypse.
Plus why would there be a CS2.
Orange Box 2.0 is best.

 

[LoneWanderer]

Yeah, more like Counter-strike Source 2007 Orange Box Engine

 

[Pink Scottish]

21/9/09 News:

After i saw the best made box is The Orange Box 2.0, i made a poster about how it could be.

Hope you like it.

CS came out for the original Xbox didn't it?
