it's an ideal place to start. the only way you could start any earlier is to play HL1 on PC or ps2, but it's so dated it might not hold the interest of someone who didn't play it back in the day. in any case playing HL1 isn't going to impress the shit out of you the way HL2 will, so yeah, orange box is a great place to start. after episode 2 there is no more half-life until episode 3 is released.

btw i think they can fit all the games onto one disc because they all use the same engine. well, TF2 i'm not sure of, but to a large extent HL2, episodes 1 and 2 and portal all use the exact same engine.
