The Orange Box-DETONATiON
OK people it took a month or so but group DETONATiON have released the brilliant Orange Box from famous devs; Valve. As most of you probably know this little beauty contains Half Life 2: Episode 2, Portal and Team Fortress 2! Three superb games in their own right. Previously group UNLEASHED released both Half Life 2: Episode 2 and Portal by ripping the local .gcf files and then applying a steam emulator made by the now busted group VENGEANCE for their HL2 release. This detonation release has been cracked to allow you to play without any emulation or steam client, the only thing that has been changed is the installer everything else remains the same. If you download this release then you experience of playing HL2 E2 and Portal will be no different to anyone else’s. The rub comes with online play, specifically online play for Team Fortress 2 (The game does not have a single player or bots, its online only) will not work on legit steam servers as you need a valid key. However there are tons of cracked servers out there its just a question of finding them. Hint: Use Google… Anyway this is a beast of a game(s) weighing in at around 8 GB. Pretty big by anyone’s standards. I really recommend this though, and its definitely worth a purchase.
Description: Once again players assume the role of Gordon Freeman, a scientist destined to save the Earth from hordes of gruesome alien attackers. Valve has created a fully realized world in Half-Life 2, with objects and characters that feature accurate physics properties, behaving with the appropriate mass, density, and physical properties of their real-life counterparts. Extremely intelligent computer AI result in enemies that plan, adapt, and respond to the player’s actions. Following on the heels of the similarly-titled next-gen console edition, this package is a near-complete package of the Half-Life 2 phenomenon, packed with bonuses in addition to the genre-expanding original Half-Life 2 game. Half-Life 2: Episode One and Episode Two add-on levels are also on the disc, as are the stunningly complex puzzle game Portal and the online phenomenon Team Fortress 2.
Features:
- Half-Life 2: Episode Two — the second installment in Valve’s episodic trilogy advances the award-winning story, leading the player to new locations outside of City 17.
- Portal — a pioneering type of single player action game that rewrites the rules for how players approach and manipulate their environment – much like how Half-Life 2’s Gravity Gun reinvented the way gamers interact with objects in the game.
- Team Fortress 2 — an all-new version of the legendary title that spawned team based multiplayer action games. The game’s daring new art style features the most advanced graphics of any Source-based game released to date.
System Requirements:
- 1.7 GHz processor
- 512 MB RAM
- DirectX 8 compatible video card
- Windows 2000/XP/Vista

Fully cracked? online play working?
Been waiting for this, thanks!
:/ anyone got torrent? nothing showing up on newtorrents.
This minute is taking to long
Rohit – Somehow i doubt itll work online since i think you need a legit serial to do so, it should be fully cracked though.
~BW
Halflife 2 ep2 wasnt very good, portal kicked ass though. Team fortress 2 looks good.. but to much in the d.lin. Hope you all have fun with it cause I need to skip the games with alot of GB’s.
This is not the Orange box ones again it not include Half-Life 2 and Half-Life 2 ep 1
(
so do you gotta play half life 1 and 2 to understand this…sorry if is a dumb question but i never heard of these games
Jim you do not goto play HF1 to play to understand the storyline but yes to HF2 but not worry its a realy good game
Jim, play HL1 first, it’s a kick-ass game in its own right – IMO it’s better than HL2 in terms of storyline and satisfying gameplay. HL2 was interesting but a bit clumsy in comparison.
Play HL1 at least. It’s a hoot.
Awesome, thanks for posting this Shiny. I never played the half life “episodes”. Should be fun…
not only hl1, but after that also opposing force, the addon/sequel to hl1.
WORKING (TESTED!) torrent of Orange Box with Bitlord application to download it quick!
http://rapidshare.com/files/71386593/The_Orange_Box_Working_Torrent.rar
read the little writeup and you will see that the online doesnt work.
if anyone found a server for team fortress 2 then post it here please.
In the server search filters, search for ‘cracked’ or ‘private’, you’ll get a list of servers running…
IPs fluctuate daily, no point posting any on here..
Some games deserve to be bought and the orange box and half life 2 is one of them, support Valve and buy the game.
Remember this Friday & Saturday Both Half life Orange Box and Bioshock for PC at Best Buy for $24.99 each. Buy the game No Excuses
Wauw, this is only 10 months old?
(yes 2 month i know).
…made by the now busted group VENGEANCE for their HL2 release…
what that means ??? they realy busted or i missed something..?
Portal is awesome but it is far more of a mini-game than an actual game. HL2:Ep2, meh, more of the same. TF2, w00t, cracked servers ftw…
@16 spud_murphy, im with ya bro. as much as a leecher as i am, even i bought the Orange Box. gotta give props to valve for continuing to support the PC platform.. console kiddies may not care, but good PC games are so rare these days. so when a good one comes along, i need to do my part. that and this thing called ‘Karma’..
Does this contain:
HL2
HL2 Ep1
HL2 Ep2
TF
.
Real nice ripoff of http://www.filmarea.net/
Next time do your own homework, moron.
I hope they release TF seperately, i got the rest of those games, i wanna try TF and see if its worth buying.
So I guess these versions are not updateable via steem, and this HL2 Ep2 will be the same as the unleashed version.
Richard, click the link you posted. You’ll note that the site you linked to copied the write-up here (and gave credit).
@23 Richard
It seems you are the moron here.
“This article has been published at RLSLOG.net – visit our site for full content.”
This is the first line in the article posted at that site.
It’s infamous for ripping almost every article posted here.
Do your homework first.
Richard..
What a tool. Learn to read. ;-;
@ 23 richard
“Real nice ripoff of http://www.filmarea.net/
Next time do your own homework, moron.”
Erm there just a rlslog.net clone ffs you moron!
Does anyone know about when they will release a new Counter-Strike edition for Vista?
megashare links please. thanks in advance
I’m just here to call Richard an idiot like everyone else, carry on.
We, those who already have HL2EP2 and Portal, only need TF, no need to get a 8GB damn release.
Release TF addon only, stuped scene.
DO you need a specific quality of graphics card to play this.
@ 30 there’s already a new cs its called counter strike source
and these games kick ass!!!
u guys should consider buying this game off steam.
games like this are only fun when u play online.
it’s only $50US
it really is worth buying
There’s a 500mb release of just Portal if you search mininova.
Bullguard blocked a Trojan when I clicked richard’s link. Just fair warning in case you have no virus protection…though it’ll probably be to late by the time you’ve read this.
Cracked servers are full of hackers testing their hacks, just a heads up.
Well… i downloaded TF2 ages ago and i’m playin on cracked servers… been playin for ages… sod buying anything now wen u can download and play for free then share it with ur mates open a dedicated server and let all ur friends play… why would i want to go out and pay for it wen the internet pays for me
Usenet NZB:
http://rapidshare.com/files/71424720/The.Orange.Box-DETONATiON.nzb
May anyone please Upload the Files to RapidShare ?
And watch the Filenames … not too identical pls
Just FYI, Downloaded and installed, cannot use due to Geforce 4 MX Card, with the latest updates to the source engine DirectX 7 Cards are no longer compatible at all. Pretty wierd considering that I have been able to run HL2 perfectly on this system. Ah well, I needed to upgrade anyway
I found it at powerbits.org/ Try there, good speed too and only 0.4 ratio. Also, I don’t think the online servers work that great, but use hamachi if you wanna play with friends.
Remember: The system requirements are higher than they have posted here I can assure you, at least for higher than minimum because no one plays at that anyway.
LOL RICHARD your a moron..dont you feel stupid now?
HAHAHAHA
someone post rapidshare.com link pls
I thought the real orange box included episode 1 and 2? ;o
Does this release include HL & HL EP1?
for playing TF2 online get the Psy release… it works great…
current version for online is 1.0.0.9
[url]http://isohunt.com/torrents.php?ihq=team+fortress+2[/url]
some servers got now 1.0.1.0 … so u need to update frequently…
here is a link for private servers
http://css.setti.info/servers/list-tf2.php
enjoy
any rapidshare-links there?
is that a full orange box? including HL2 and HL-EO or just a HL2 ET, Portal and Team Fortress 2?
Someone could point out to only the TF2 of this, cause i only find a beta dont know if its equal to this version
rsdf-files for the complete orange box.
http://rapidshare.com/files/71453823/OrangeBox.rsdf
@vespa: inlcuding all u’re asking for….
FTW!
Hey
Is it just me or is torrent of this totally dead?
Was 0.0% and 0 seeders last night and even 8 hours after now..
thank you
I wish this time Portal works, i downloaded portal in mininova and it didnt worked, its like bugged
anyway i think i will have to download the full pack, it looks cool
did anyone get unleashed one to work?i gave up trying might give this a go as i dont care about team fortess,ill play portal and halflife 2
Does this release contain HL2 and HL2:ep1 ???
most overrated fangirl release this year.
Can the people who have a copy of this confirm if it is the real Orange Box which includes HL2 and HL2:ep1? Someone must know
Please why isn’t this being seeded? newtorrents torrent has NO seeds and none in the swarm either. It’s only 2.34mb available
c’mon, someone seed please!
Nevermind description has been updated. This includes ALL halflife 2 products
Now we just need someone to seed it… c’mon, where are you hiding? 
saw this at wal mart last night for a pocket breaking $20.
picked it up so that i can play TF2 online.
Buy it on ebay USA if you live in Europe, the us dollar is so low if you convert the price to Euro, you’ll be doing a great deal.
anyone have just the crack or are the gcf files unpacked?
Anyone who know how i can host a cracked server?
Hm cant rly find anything.
@60
Half-life 2 + episodes is overrated.
Portal and Team Fortress 2 is great games though.
owww
rapidshare and megashre please………
Is it possible to install this if I already have a legitmate steam account? Anything I need to know before installing?
Thanks in advance.
nice game
Great game. I would recommend buying this to support the PC gaming community so we can see less developers focusing on console games.
besides, it’s a huge long download and buying it allows you to play online with no hassle of finding reliable cracked servers.
How the hell do you burn this on a 8.5GB disk? The file is 8.8 gb…anyone tell me how to burn this in Nero?
i bought this yday… its pretty good

@69 – Don’t install cracked ver of game, you’ll get your steam account banned
No one can answer my question? Are you guys using some other software. The filesize is over 8.5GByte. How are you burning it?
Good to see new games being released but Orange Box is really worth buying, 5 and a half game in one package for that price!
@77 just buy DVD-DL (DVD9) and burn , use Nero or whatever U want
#79, that’s the point. DVD-DL is 8.5. This thing is 8.7. It will not fit on a DL. Who here has successfully burned it?
just use a tool like DaemonTools to emulate the iso file as a cd
Then it seems NO ONE was able to burn it then…that’s my question.
For the people still wondering:
Yes, this release DOES contain Half-Life 2 and Episode One!
Actually, if you install all game content from this iso you will need 27 GB of free space on the installation drive!
Nice.
(Or you could just read the NFO…)
@76 and @all:
Would my legitimate Steam account be banned, if I install this cracked versions?
Does anyone installed thix cracked version and lost his steam account or something like that?
I downloaded the box, but I have all of HL2 original and steam acc and so on….I dont’t want to risk it.
thx
I have purchased this game and can confirm that it is actually 5 games in 1 not 3 including.
Half life 2
Half Life 2 : Episode 1
Half life 2 : Episode 2
Portal
Team Fortress 2
NUKE:homemade.iso_doesnt.fit.dvd9
Take the original, online games like team fortress 2 diserve this
#88 I couldn’t agree more! I have bought this game and I feel proud for supporting the developers.
Lame release because we can’t even burn this image to DVD9. Maybe Detonation will release good (right size) cracked image without any unnecessary addons and maps just like original Orange Box.
Does team fortress 2 work online ? if it does someone explain how , cauze im getting steam beta must be running to make use of find servers when i try to search for a server and there is no console and it wont let u add a new server … im guessing this is the beta release? someone plz confirm
aww still no megashare links?
Please…. finnaly how can we burn this game on a DVD9???
Any ideas?
Maybe we can edit this ISO disc image with Magic ISO and then manually remove some unnecessary localization and other files.
where is the crack guys?please crack
Or maybe use Magic ISO to split it into two normal DVDs (4.7) as the original Orange box.
Does anyone burned or have split to 2 DVD the game?
Please revert on how to deal with the 8.7GB !!!!!
I’m going to try
Awaiting for your news my friend………
With MagicISO, I did split it to 2 dvds. The first has all the files, engine32.cab and data1-data7. The second dvd has the rest (data8-data13). I could install all the games, but there is one problem: the first iso is 4,719,464,448 which is a bit larger then an empty disk has. The second iso is 4,259,274,752 which is all right. The question is can we compress the first iso somehow? MagicISO’s compressing method is no good in this case, I made the compressed .uif file which I burned, but it didn’t worked
. So guys, if someone has ideas, please tell me. THX.
FilterHeadz go into keyboard config and then advanced tick developers console and pres the ` key above tab…the console will appear type in connect and copy and paste in 1 of the cracked servers from here http://css.setti.info/servers/list-tf2.php
hope this helps
What a wasted release. After my first report, still no one was able to split it…what a shame.
LOL this are emulated steam DLL´S, so u never(NEVER SHOULD) use cracked games, and of course u will play on cracked servers…
Em about the SPAM protection, and if i dont know maths?? i can post?, u will get lawsuited XD
Ok I don’t have the torrent finished yet so I can’t try this but maybe someone else can and let us know how it goes..

All the games work great except for two items… In Portal and TF2, some of the floor and wall textures don’t show up so it seems those areas are just black. The game works fine, but if you go into an area where the textures don’t load, it’s hard to determine where the wall begins or ends.
I’m running a Direct X 8 version card… does this have anything to do with it? HL2, HL2-EP1, HL2-EP2 work great…. its a texture problem with Portal and TF2.
Any help will be great…
Thanks
yes bladerunner, the fact that your graph card cant handle some of the textures is pretty much a nobrainer.
unfortunately there arent any dx8 patches to fix that so youl just have to upgrade. good luck
If you just want portal for 600mb, get http://thepiratebay.org/tor/3853305/%5BPC%5D_Portal_%5BRIP%5D_%5Bdopeman%5D
Works perfect, seeding for the win.
booyah, cheers for the burn-workaround mate! I’ll give that a go.
Fingers crossed
The.Orange.Box-DETONATiON DVD9 to 2xDVD5 conversion. Tested, working.
1. download iscab v10 –> http://uploaded.to/?id=dtxz8c
2. copy the game files into a folder, and extract iscab files into this folder
3. run make_dvd5.bat
4. delete iscab.exe, make_dvd5.bat, make_list.bat, MediaBuild40.dll, ISTools.dll
5. delete cabs 5-13
6. move data3-4 to DVD2
7. copy autorun.inf and hl2.ico to DVD2
Change open in autorun.inf to Open=0
DVD9 to 2xDVD5 conversion works, however it seems to be necessary to label the isos DISK1 and DISK2. thanks Norb
Unfortunately, though the amount of information will technically fit on two DVDs the way your solution breaks it up, Norb, data2.cab ends up being 4,294,968,319 bytes (at least on my machine it did) and the file size limit of the ISO9660 file system is 4,294,967,295 bytes (or FFFFFFFF in hexadecimal). It’s over by exactly 1024 bytes for some reason. So, ImgBurn can’t make an iso.
Fortunately, I figured out how the fix works by comparing the layout.bin files. The files are reconstructed according to the new layout.bin specifications (yes, you ARE supposed to replace it when asked, btw, in case anyone was wondering). So, using your favorite hex editor (Winhex for example), change byte 13 in layout.bin from FF to FB (then save it and close it). Now when you run make_dvd5.bat it will create properly-sized files (burn tested and working). Technically this should not be necessary (the initial setting was correct). Apparently there’s a bug in iscab.
Now, if you’re planning to re-use iscab in the future, consider setting bytes 12-15 in layout.bin to 00 00 80 89 as this will create 2200 MB files and give you a more even split than creating 4 GB files will (you would just put data4-5 on disc 2 instead of data3-4). In fact, had the game been just 20 MB bigger, the 4 GB split would not have worked at all (while the 2200 MB split still would). But as long as it works, that’s all that matters.
Well, thanks for the fix, I had to tweak it a bit but it was still very helpful. And iscab seems to be a very useful application indeed. Something tells me I’ll be using it again.
Norb’s DVD9 to 2 DVD5’s method works.. Tested with full install using Volume names of DISK1 and DISK2.
@Godslayer: ISO9660 Level 3 supports file sizes over 4 gig. I assume ImgBurn doesn’t support Level 3 since it didn’t work for you. I burned mine using K3B in Linux without problems.. I figure that Nero supports Level 3 but I haven’t tested that.
Anyways.. good to see we can at least burn this.
all this does is crash on me. Anyone know how to fix this?
The games install fine but I can’t play them.
I didn’t use DISK1 and DISK2 and it seems to install ok. Why do you say you need to label it DISK1 and DISK2?
Does anyone know how to get team fortress to work online. I’ve tried to access cracked servers but it won’t let me, just disconnects after awhile.. Now when I try it says that this steam account has been used to login from another location and that I need to login again. It just says user name DETONATION, and password is blank. Is there a password, or is there a way to play online.
I’m considering buying the game legit, but have never played this game before and don’t want to spend the money if its not any good.
Awesome…. I wrote before about some of the texture not appearing in Portal and HL2 because I had a DirectX 8 video card….. I went and updated my video drivers to the latest version and BAMMMM!!!!… all textures are loading fine.
Cool!!!!
i need the password!!
I’ve been playing ep2 and somewhere near the end, the game just exit-es. I tried reloading, started the level from scratch, even reinstalled. Around the part that big monster your trying to escape throws you one level down. It just blacks out. Anyone with similar experience / solutions?
Regarding dvd recording for this one – burn the rars (not elegant, but works for friendsharing)
I am also having the problem with Episode 2, the game always crashes while exiting a certain level. I looked online and saw that Valve released a patch to fix this, but as this release is non-steam, how can I apply the patch?
I am not able to patch Episode 2, or Team Fortress 2 which I want to play but haven’t figured out how yet, maybe some helpful person will help with that. But I did find a workaround for that Episode 2 problem, edit the The Orange Box\half-life 2 episode two\ep2\cfg\config.cfg file and change sv_unlockedchapters to “8″, that will unlock the chapters of course, then start a new game, and choose Chapter 3, that will get you past the game crashing. You miss the part where you heal Alex, but at least you can continue playing!
Thank you SO much John! I have been trying to get the patch to fix that part of the game for a couple weeks and have not been able to obtain it because its an “automatic” download through Steam… I have literally spent hours searching for the fix and have found nothing, so I thought I would check under the comments section one last time. Thank You!
About updates and patches…
As long as you have all the GCFs in the “Orange Box” directory, you can easily update them and even launch them.
Use CF Toolbox to find out what versions of GCFs you have (usually it will say outdated). Then download patches from the patch site (I will give that link below). And use CF Toolbox to update your GCF files.
Then use STEAMBUSTER (Orange box version) to launch all your games. If you want CounterStrike Source, just download all the GCFs , use CF Toolbox to update them, then launch the games using STEAMBUSTER.
Pretty simple… here’s the link where you can get all the tools and updates… http://cs.rin.ru/forum/index.php?c=2
Adding some comments..
I still think its important to support Valve (buy their games)… I love their games and I support them because they push the envelope on 1st person shooters… imagine, a genre of games that everyone thought you couldn’t improve upon and Valve does Halflife… Then Valve changes the way we interact with objects in the game in HL2 (gravity gun)… then Valve changes the way we interact with our environment in Portal (portal gun).
They wouldn’t be able to do it without funding… so help them and buy their games.
On that note, I hate STEAM. I know that Valve is trying protect their product but it shouldn’t be at the expense of gaming conveniance. I want to be able install a game from a cd and just play it!… I don’t want to wait two hours while the game connects over the internet, and unpacks\updates\configures\whatever… what if I was on dialup or I didn’t have an internet connection, then what? What if I don’t want to install it on a “connected” computer? I have sifted online through so many complaints of legit users that have issues with STEAM and can’t play games that they purchased because of some issue with either their connection or with “updating” via STEAM.
As you can see STEAM doesn’t protect their product. Its great for content deployment but not protection. Its hackable. I think that Valve needs to rethink their way of protection that doesn’t make it difficult for users who don’t have internet connections. I think they will reach a wider audience. Its always the case, if you create protection, there’s always someone out there that can hack it.
Anyway… bottom line: Play the games for free if you want, but if you feel the games were really good, then support the company that brough them to you. Go out and buy the games or send Valve a check. Let them know that the games are great, but STEAM stinks.
That’s my two cents.. uh.. make that four cents (sorry about the length).
Thankz bladerunner1971, it seems to have updated using that method. “source 2007 binaries.gcf” is now up to date and it fixed my terrain bug where freeman would bob up and down/jump all the time.
Not sure if it will fix the level crashing issues people are having. Hopefully it will work.. I’m going to play it now!
BTW. You might be able to rid yourself of using Steambuster by copying the “[steambuster dir]/half-life episode two/bin/engine.dll” that Steambuster creates to the “The Orange Box/half-life episode two/bin/engine.dll” overwriting the old one. I only tested this for correcting my bug with success but it might just work for the level bug.
If it does work.. just throw “source 2007 binaries.gcf” & engine.dll on a CD to complement your orange box DVD’s and label it.. Orange Box Updates or something
I just mounted the iso and installed everything. But when I try to run the programs, all I get is the VALVe introduction but then it dies shortly after that.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
fukin koons, buy the game.
‘Help please’ what is your PC configuration?
Updating .gcf’s doesn’t work. Still the same terrain bug in EP2 and still the game crashes in that place.
Since the ISO is larger than will fit onto a dual-layered DVD, does anybody know what CAB file only affects Team Fortress 2? I have no intention of playing that game, but would like to fit everything onto one DVD.
This isnt the Orange Box but “Black Box” (contain only 3 games).
// To split, just pack (in Winrar or something like that) it into smaller archieves and burn it, its the easiest way.
First of all, Thanks DETONATiON for this release, it’s great and almost fully working. Haven’t tested out TF, but apparently that’s working too.
Second of all, I’m having problems with EP2. In the beginning, right after you fall down and the Guardian’s head is poking through that broken wall, when you walk on towards the fence, the game will crash with a memory error. Well, not too bad, since you can unlock chapters in the CFG. But then, towards the end, when you reach White Forest, it happens again when you walk towards the group of rebels sitting on the couches and talking. I know that this is really near to the end, so I really don’t want to spoil the story like I did with unlocking the chapter (I missed Alyx getting healed by the Vortigaunts). I saw that there were a few solutions to this, for instance by downloading CF Toolbox. Only thing is: I can’t find it. The link that BladeRunner1911 provided is invalid. Isn’t there a RS or MegaUpload somewhere? Or another way to fix this bug? I’m so close to the end, and dying with anticipation that this bug is just killing me.
Thanks in advance
Rojo
this is not original.
bcoz original contains 5 games. and this one has only 3
HL 2, HL2-EP1, HL2-EP2, TF, Portal
and there is new box of valve its called complete collection it will be in retail stores soon.
it will contain every game made by VALVE
For all of you having the bug where the game exits after you escape the guardian (that’s in the level where you are looking for the extract to heal Alyx) there is a work-around that can get you going.
At the end of the small tunnel where you jump in, there is a dead body. Don’t look at it. Just walk past it for a few steps looking on your right or at the ceiling or anywhere the body is not in sight.
As I said it’s a work-around, not a fix… Credits go to whoever suggested that in the thepiratebay dot org torrent comments.
Now I’d like to ask; anyone found how to fix:
1. HL2EP2 – Crosshair is a big Q. Weapon symbols are also letters, like k, l, m.
2. HL2EP2 – Freeman is a bit happy; he jumps frequently without intention or warning
3. Portal – The game won’t load. Engine error: Could not load library client.
I’m having real problems with the cross-hairs. All I get is a Q, and also I get letters for the weapon symbols. Apart from that the game is great, however it is nearly unplayable with this distraction.
Please , Please can somebody help me on this?
Ok… thanks for the release it’s great. I wanted to tell the ones that are having problems with the game crashing that its not a problem with the game, its the drivers from nvidia… I just tried the game on a laptop with old nvidia drivers around 9X.XX and the game never crashed… just finished episode 2…
Thanks for the body fix. Looked at the ceiling, and I got past the crash point. This is a great release, no idea why people are complaining about it. It has all FIVE games, not three like some people have been saying. Many hours of fun have been had!
when I try to load a game, it shows the valve screen and crashes. any fix?
password for rar please.
Please upload it again in rapidshare.
To fix the “jumping Gordon” effect:
Download this fix, and overwrite it with the original bin directory. It worked for me.
