    How long did it take you to complete everything in The Orange Box? From Half Life 2 all the way to Portal?

    portal: 5 hours maybe.

    HL2 + HL2 ep1/2 : idk....20 hours?

    and team fortress can't really be "completed," so i guess my total would be somewhere around 25 hours

    Can you really "complete" Team Fortress?

    In any case, probably around ten hours for Half-Life 2.  Four-to-five hours for each Episode, and then an additional six for Portal.

    I think Portal took me about 6 hours.

    Half-Life 2 + Ep 1 + Ep 2 took a long time. Maybe 20-30 hours.

    Never played TF2.

    I never did portal gold medal challenges, but I'd say around 8-12 hours for HL2, 4-5 for Ep 1, 5-7 for Ep 2, and <4 for Portal. I've spent a good amount of hours on TF2.

    EDIT: In my playthroughs, I went for achievements, which added significant amounts of time (especially the grub one in Ep 2)

    I knocked out the story mode in Portal all in one day. Probably took around 5 hours. All during New Year's Eve too. I'm currently playing the other games, and am probably half way deep in Half-Life 2. I imagine I'm like at least 6 hours in.

    Less than 4 hours for portal, 15+ hours for Half Life 2,  and about 5 hours each for episodes 1 and 2 although 2 was a little longer.

    I still haven't beaten Episode Two, mainly cause I keep forgetting. Also I haven't beaten Half-Life 2 yet just because I had beaten it on the PC several times already.

    But Portal and Episode One took me like maybe 5 hours each?

    I didn't beat Half Life 2 on the Xbox 360. I already beat it on PC a few times and even the Xbox port. But, I did beat Episode 1 and 2 in about 11 hours combined, and Portal in about 5. For Team Fortress 2, i have sunk at least 15 hours into that over the last few months. All damn fine games in their own right.

    I never played TF 2 all, but it never really ends though as many people have pointed out already. As far as the rest goes I dont really remember keeping track of it and it was so long ago now anyway. I think it would have taken me at least 30 hours all up.

    On my most recent play through (on 360):

    • Half Life 2 took 7 hours and 45 minutes. Screwed up under the bridge and forgot to hit the switch to disable the force field, so I was running back wondering why the gunship wasn't coming for me. Didn't realize what I did wrong until I made it all the way back to the top. Total head desk moment and wasted a good 20-30 minutes :(
    • Episode 1 took 3 hours
    • Episode 2 took 4 hours and 15 minutes.
    • Portal took 2 hours.

    Loved the quick load times after installing it to the hard drive. Going to miss those when I play it on PS3.

    id say 20-25 hours for the package, not including TF2. I have put over 100 hours into TF2 though.

    I still need to go back and finish it. Started out great, but got sidetracked by Portal and then a few other games that were released soon after.

    I originally bought Orange Box ONLY for Team Fortress 2...

    I really care less about Gordon Freeman and the Halfe Life series in general. :)

    Just like I bought Half Life 1 and 2 for the PC only to play Counter-Strikes :)

    I did it in a rental actually.  I dont know the exact times, but here's what i remember
    Portal was like 3 hours
    HL2 was 10 hours
    the episodes were like 3 hours a piece?

    TF2 I never beat and never played during the rental, I bought it off steam for the pc

    Overall, the orange box isn't nearly as good of a deal as people say.  It's essentially just a longer than average fps and a multiplayer mode.  Nothing to brag about... especially when 2 of those are old games

    I didn't play The Orange Box, but I downloaded Portal: Still Alive from the XBLA. I finished the campaign in about 4 hours: 20 minutes.

    As an Apature Science achievement holder, (all gold on all maps, portal.) on the 360 no less (check gamercard in bio.), imagine my answer would be the sound of a small child screaming.

    First time through Portal actually only took me an hour and a half in one sitting.
    HL2 - 11
    Ep1 - 3.5
    Ep2 - 4

    About 20 hrs for me. To be fair though I had, while not played, seen most of HL2 being played by my dad a good few years ago.
