Track listing[edit]
* = not present in a given soundtrack.
| The Orange Box OST # | Game # | OST (Steam DLC) # | Track title | Filename | Time | Level location | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| * | 01 | 04 | Extinction Event Horizon | VLVX_song20.mp3 | 2:04 | To the White Forest: The very beginning of the chapter, as Gordon is climbing out of the train wreck. | The title is likely indicative of the impending return of multitudinous Combine forces through the Citadel's superportal, which would result in a genocide of humanity, or an extinction event, and how this, for humanity's survival, would be an inescapable 'point of no return,' which in layman's terms is what an event horizon is in regards to spacetime in astrophysics. |
| 12 | 02 | 05 | Vortal Combat | VLVX_song22.mp3 | 3:14 | This Vortal Coil: During the final wave of the Antlion attack, in which the vortigaunts assist Gordon Freeman in the fight. The song can also be heard during part of the Portal teaser trailer. | The title is a pun on both Vortigaunts and the Mortal Kombat game series. |
| * | 03 | 03 | Nectarium | VLVX_song15.mp3 | 1:47 | This Vortal Coil: When the Lone Vort finds the larval extract. | |
| * | 04 | 10 | Inhuman Frequency | VLVX_song26.mp3 | 1:50 | This Vortal Coil: During the G-Man sequence, when the G-Man talks to Gordon as the Vortigaunts attempt to heal Alyx. | |
| * | 05 | * | Crawl Yard | VLVX_song9.mp3 | 1:14 | Freeman Pontifex: Near one of the radioactive lakes. | |
| * | 06 | * | Industrial Suspense 1 | industrial_suspense1.wav | 0:12 | Riding Shotgun: Upon finding the dead rebel before encountering the Barn Advisor. | This track also appears in Half-Life 2. |
| * | 07 | 07 | Shu'ulathoi | VLVX_song23ambient.mp3 | 2:38 | Riding Shotgun: During the scene with the Barn Advisor. | This track title is a reference to the Vortigaunt name given to the Combine Advisors. |
| 10 | 08 | 06 | Sector Sweep | VLVX_song23.mp3 | 2:46 | Riding Shotgun: During the Combine ambush directly after the meeting with the Barn Advisor. | In the console versions of The Orange Box, this song is played at the main menu for the Episode Two screen. |

| * | 10 | 01 | No One Rides For Free | VLVX_song0.mp3 | 1:02 | Under the Radar: When first driving away from the junkyard after destroying the Autogun. | |
| * | 11 | 12 | Eon Trap | VLVX_song28.mp3 | 3:13 | Under the Radar: During the ambush at the White Forest Inn. | |
| 06 | 12 | 09 | Abandoned In Place | VLVX_song25.mp3 | 2:47 | Our Mutual Fiend: During the Combine invasion of the White Forest Base, during the mission to close the second silo. | |
| 08 | 13 | 08 | Last Legs | VLVX_song24.mp3 | 2:07 | Our Mutual Fiend: When fighting the second wave of Striders and Hunters during the attack on the missile silo. | |
| 11 | 14 | 02 | Dark Interval | VLVX_song3.mp3 | 1:35 | T-Minus One: Starts during the final scene and continues over the credits. | Also plays in Half-Life 2: Lost Coast, when first entering the St. Olga monastery. A section of the track reappears in the final scene of Half-Life: Alyx. |

Ah yes. The fabled Half Life 3. The answer to it's release date is actually quite simple: 1 + 9 + 9 + 8 = 27. 1998 - 27 = 1971. Gabe Newell was 9 years old in 1971. 9 + 1998 = 2007 2007 - 2 (for the projected Half Life 2) - 1 (for the prior Half Life 1) = 2004. 2007 - 3 = 2004 OR Half Life 2's release year. Following the same standard: 2 + 0 + 0 + 4 = 6 2004 - 6 = 1998 (coincidence? I think not!) Gabe Newell was 36 years old in 1998. 36 + 2004 = 2040 2040 - 3 (for the projected Half Life 3) - 2 (for the prior Half Life 2) - 1 (for the prior Half Life 1) = 2034. Obviously, the next Half Life game is going to come out in 2034. Get with the program. Sorry for formatting. Edit: Math? Yeah got a bit distracted, but lowered the release by two years!
