Will there be any problem with me not having the first Half-Life. I have never played it. It seems that the orange box offers so much that I have to try it. So what do you think? Do I need the first Half-Life to truly enjoy the orange box?

i was in the same situationa s you then i just bought Half Life 1 Anthology for like 10 bucks on amazon maybe cheaper. BRAND NEW. I recommend it. It does have dated graphics but you can still enjoy it. It also comes with Team Fortress Classic and both Half Life 1 expansions. A GREAT DEAL. Heres a link I HIGHLY recommend it. you must buy it new though. Steam is a pain the the a with cd keys and such.

I would definitely reccomend playing HL1 - this is definitely a story driven FPS franchise. It would still be fun without being familiar with HL1 - but it will be allot better if you have played it.

Orange Box = HL2 + Ep 1/2 + Team Fortress 2 + Portal. This is quite possibly the best deal ever.Staryoshi87
Yup.
Anyway, @TC: You don't HAVE to play HL1, but it's a good game if you can find it laying around somewhere.. But you pretty much get clued into what's going on in thegame anyway.

Is it only out on PC?
Unfortunately there are only 2 platforms that got HL1 - The PC (of course) and the PS2.
ya the story is very important in the half life universe, but i played hl2 on pc before i played hl1, then went back and played hl1...it cleared up a lot of stuff but i would recommend playing hl1 first to get all the story for hl2
I didn't really enjoy the first Half Life but then when i played Half Life 2 and Half Life 2 episode one i really enjoyed the graphics and the gameplay!
