Orange Box region limitations

[loom91]

Hi,

I live in India. A relative in the US wants to gift me the Orange Box. But I've heard that the US version won't work in India because of region specific versions. What should I do?

Also, is my machine sufficient to run the games at reasonable performance and quality?

I run a HP laptop with an Intel Core Duo 1.73 GHz (thinking about slightly overclocking), 1 GB DDR2 RAM, 100 GB HDD and NVidia GeForce Go 7400 GPU.

Thanks a lot.

I think this only applies to the Thai version.

should work just fine.

You are sure there won't be any problems?

Also, in terms of online multiplayer play, how do Counter-Strike Source and Team Fortress 2 compare with Halo 3. My main attraction is multiplayer, so though HL2 undoubtably has a far superior single player mission, I'm considering Halo 3 too.

Thanks.

TF2 is much more awesome and fast-paced than both of these. :D

[giant384]

please dont compare cs or hl2 to halo. they dont compare at all.

Halo > Most other games in multiplayer. But HL2 wins in singeleplayer.

Why don't they compare? They are both multiplayer FPS. Ace, why do you think Halo 3 is better than CSS? Thnx.
