The Valve team also recently confirmed (by accident) that a second Portal game is in the works (and Lombardi has since officially stated to CVG that "more Portal is coming"), so combined with the Counter-Strike sequel and Half-Life 2: Episode Three, could we be looking at the early stages of what might be an Orange Box Two?

"I just don't think that [Counter-Strike 2] would be a good fit [with a second Orange Box]," piped in Valve overlord Gabe Newell, noting that CS2 would be a stand-alone game to him.

"But if I get 15,000 emails from customers in response to this interview telling me 'Of course it should be in [the next Orange Box],' then of course we'll pay attention to that." We think he'll regret saying that...

More portal is allways a good thing

I never cared for Portal, it was a nice innovative game, but nothing I would buy alone. I never even finished the first one.

I heard Valve talking about making Counter-Strike 2 and wondering if they should make basically the same game as the older one with newer stuff like Team Fortress 2 or a whole new game from scratch.

I enjoyed portal, quite a bit actually. The cake is a lie!!! If it was longer and had different modes I would consider buying it on its own.

I also think it would be cool to throw in CS2 with Orange Box 2.

I thought the second Orange Box was gonna go by the Orange Box's first title before it was released; The Black Box.
Could be wrong though.

Either way, CS2 in a package would be good for me.
I would never consider buying CS alone, just like I didn't really give two shits about TF2 when I bought the Orange Box (But I ended up becoming obsessed with the damned thing. Beyond addicting, it is.). But if CS2 does come with the bundle, that'd be great considering I would be able to see what's so great about the series/game without actually technically buying it. I would just buy this for Ep. 3 and Portal 2.

I do think it would be a good idea to include CS2 in this bundle, if all it's gonna have without it is Ep. 3 and Portal 2. I mean, the first Box came with a hell of a lot of content, what with it having all of HL2 up until that point.
The next Box would be a letdown if it only had two games.

Now that I've put my two cents in, I'm off to bed.
Good to be back everyone.

This would be one of the greatest things ever.

This would be awesome, but we know how Valve is with promising things...I mean, last time they promised a patch for the 360 they said we would be getting it in December. We got it in March.

The only thing I liked about the first one was Portal so if there was a second one I wouldn't get it.
