To do:
The console versions of HL2 and Episode One have map differences from the Steam versions.

While The Orange Box launched on Steam as a simple package of separately installed titles, it exists on console as one self-contained game, with Half-Life 2, Episode One, Episode Two, Portal, and the original version of Team Fortress 2 each selectable from a common menu.

Valve developed the Xbox 360 version themselves, and the PS3 version was outsourced to EA UK. While both versions of the game encountered numerous bugs in their ports of HL2 and Episode One, which would later be encountered on PC in engine upgrade patches, the PS3 version in particular is very rough.

Counter-Strike: Source Leftovers#

The font files for Counter-Strike: Source's HUD, weapon icons, and main menu text are located in the tf\resource folder, seemingly renamed for use in Team Fortress 2.
