You guys seen the latest trailer yet? http://www.steampowered.com/v/index.php?area=game&AppId=931& It's pretty cool.
I like the scout getting gibbed. Too bad I haven't seen much of the pyro yet, that was my personal favorite in TF. I never really got many kills but I sure was annoying setting everyone on fire. I also love the art style now that I've seen it in action more. Too bad the weapons don't cast shadows yet.
Sorry to say, but episode 2 will probably cost more than ep1 because of tf2 and portal. I don't think you can call it free then can you? Eurogamer: Episode One came out at $19.95. Presumably you'll be maintaining the price structure for Episode Two? Doug Lombardi: Actually we're working on the price for all three platforms. On all three platforms there'll be on SKU [stock keeping unit] available that's Half-Life 2, Episode One, Portal, Team Fortress 2 and Episode Two. And that will probably end up being around standard full price as a console title and a PC title. And then on the PC there will be a pack that's just Episode Two, Portal and Team Fortress 2, and we're still working out the pricing for that but it'll probably be somewhere in between Episode One [pricing] and full price. http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=66973 I don't care though, I think tf2 is totally awesome, I can't way to see how it plays. It should definately be a lot more interesting than most of the games nowadays (althoug good games on their own ... incredibly boring considering you've played ton's of games like it before)
I'm personally glad they're making a goofy game like this. We don't need anymore uber realistic shooters, we need something fresh. Anyway, there's always fortress forever. Best of both worlds now :D
