I liked the original Team Fortress when it came out years ago, but the new one (aptly named Team Fortress 2) looks to be a LOT more fun. Valve has released the latest trailer for the game in the form of "Meet the Soldier". Pretty entertaining stuff.

LOL... I would like to see what the game play is like.
i CANNOT WAIT for this. orange bundle for me! 3 games in one, its going to be great

Meet the Engineer:
WOW!
I don't know...it looks too "cartoony" for me...like that early Lucas Arts game Full Throttle...
Could be fun..
oh yeah cant wait for this to come out they been suppossedly going to make team fortress 2 years agao and early pictures had it being team based and it looked an awful like battle field with all the modern graphics. and it seemed to be the running joke that it was still being worked on like 5-10 years lol.
The new cartoony figures i am not sure ill like but if the game play is good then iam game( used to love an all night game of dust bowl i loved making those auto turrents.
i hope the medic has a german accent, and the sniper has an aussie accent.
The pre-purchase is open for the Orange Box ($44.9x). You get HL2, HL2 Episode 1 and 2, TF2, Portal, misc other game and the option to join the TF2 beta on the 17th. The bad news is that I already have HL2 and HL2 Ep 1. The good news is that they will let you "gift" the games that you have to a friend. I'm not sure why they can't just sell you a bundle with only the new stuff. Oh yea, I'm sure it will be out after release.
nice i might actually get that sounds like a great bundle of gaming goodness. i think it funny if they mention well let you gift something( old game) yeah try using that in court lol. oh yes your honor they let me gift just those games hehe.
HL 2 and HL 2 Episode 1 were good. That Ravenholm section would freak me out when playing in the dark. It's cool that we can re-gift them. The cool thing about Steam is that you can put in their Steam account name and it will just show up on their games list. They will be able to download and play them right away. If you haven't gotten a chance to play them (HL2 and HL2 Eps 1), then definitely check out the Orange Box.

Thanks Onji! I'm downloading the HD version on Steam at the moment. All of the videos so far have been pretty awesome.
I've been playing the beta and it is a ton of fun. I'm looking forward to have a few more mercs to fight alongside.
Well... as bad as I want to play Half Life Episode 2, I just cant see paying 50 dollars for it.. when thats all I want... I already have HL2 and episode 1... I don't care for TF.. never really played it... So it just seems like highway robbery to me.. when I only paid 19.99 for the Episode 1 release.
It just ain't right..
HAHAHAHA,Yeh... Im gettin it, my daughter has been buggin me for weeks...Quote:
OH They'll have to glue back together...IN HELL!
Hey YellowDog, give it a few weeks and they'll have it down to $30. BTW, you can regift the HL2 and Eps 1.
? What do you mean, Re-gift? like give it back to then cause I allready have it..:)
Valve is really messed up with whole Orange Box thing. I'm sure it's nice if you don't have the other games (and happen to like TF2 like me), but who is going to be waiting for Eps 2 that hasn't already played HL2?! They need to offer Eps 2 for $15 or so (you can still buy it single, but I think it is more than $15). By allowing people to give away HL2 to someone else (if they buy the Orange box and already have HL2), they are pretty much just marketing the series. It's like giving someone the first book in a series after you have read it. That gets them started on the series.
But I'm hooked on the whole Half-life story. I'm a few chapters into HL2. I want to play through that and Ep 1 before playing Ep 2.
So I take it you haven't played HL2 yet.. if not.. then your in for a treat.. and unlike me.. you wont have to wait 1.5 years to see what happened after the.. Well.. I wont say.. But, dam it was big deal to get Eps 1 after the HL2 game.Quote:

HL2 Eps 2 is $30 by itself. That's all you need to get. I'm sure it will come down in price as well.
I bought all of the games as soon as they came out and played them non-stop until I finished them. I've played HL2 through 3 times (this is my 4th) and Eps 1 a couple times, but I want the story to be clear in my mind when I play Eps 2.
Here Doc and the rest...
Now I can play some BF2!!

On a simi-related topic, Portal is awesome! It really messed up my day since I couldn't stop playing it last night. Sometime this AM, I finished the first pass through. Now I have to make another pass through to get all the achievements and then theres the advanced maps. Uber-creative little game.
Meet the Sniper
LOL nice. I'm waiting to see what they do for Meet the Pyro.
So I should buy this game?
Yep
Meet the Scout
