On release of HL2, for $60 you got Half-life 2, Counter-Strike:

PC games used to be only $40 back then, but Valve had some amazing deals. The Orange Box hasn't been topped yet and probably won't be because Valve doesn't make games anymore.

>>380713416

Is that right?

I'm pretty sure all I got was HL2 and CS:S and I didn't want CS:S but you had to install it otherwise the installer would crash.

>>380713416

Yeah. Considering at the time you would pay $60 for just one game usually.

No because Steam was a heaping pile of shit

>>380713647
you got the silver package

>tfw no orange box II
>its Portal 2, Left for dead 2, Dota 2, and CS:GO
what happened gaben?

>>380713416
well hl2 dm and cssourse are just hl2's multiplayer, dod was free, and everyone who bought hl2 already had the "gold src catalogue." The Orange Box was a good deal.

I'm sorry, I meant Bronze. Silver was the one that contained the OP's list.

>>380713416
Sounds like a good deal to me.

>>380713895
Everyone owned HL2 and Episode 1. TF2 was just episode 2's multiplayer.

>>380714085
you're forgeting portal

>TF2 was just episode 2's multiplayer.
you're an idiot

>>380713416
>can get Valve's current entire catalog for $100
>can get the exact same bundle for $25 during major sale
Not really by today's Steam sale standards, but I can imagine it being a very good at the time when there weren't nearly as many sales on games as there are on Steam today.

>>380713416
If I recall correctly most of my friends considered it a very ok deal

>>380714898
we're talking about on launch. Of course you can get a better deal if you waited.
