I went and dug this up from the 2nd to last issue of PCXL, a no longer existant PC magazine. From the last 2 issues (the ones that I own), I browsed through them looking for this TF2 preview for you guys. I saw a Halo preview, a Duke Nukem forever preview, a Heat.net ad, a dailyradar.com ad, etc. It brought back a sea of nostalgia, that's for sure.
Since this magazine is no longer around and the article is MEGA old, I'm going to assume the former publisher won't mind my posting of this, it won't cause a loss of profit. If any mod feels to, please delete it:
(Note: This is how I found out about HL, I heard the game was free so I went searching, and that's how it all started.)
Anyways, on to the preview:

Typing up the next section, hold on...

THE SKINNY
"In the beginning, there was Doom, and it was good. Then there was Quake, and it was better. And during the years of Quake, a mod was written that forever changed multiplayer gaming - Team Fortress. The smart guys at Valve (smart enough to make Half-Life) also had enough foresight to see the potential of Team Fortress and secured the rights to TF2, and merged with developers of the original Team Fortress in '98.
The first step of this new union was porting Team Fortress Classic to the Half-Life engine, which was completed last April. [my commentary: ROFL! This article is ancient.] The second step is the creation of Team Fortress 2: Brotherhood of Arms, once scheduled as an add-on but not being released as a game on its own.
Anticipation for TF2 is at a fevered pitch because of the many features are already known by the public... scalable character models, parametric animation, 12 player classes, voice over net [my commentary: ooooh lol], interface evolution, bots, campaigns, missions, vehicles... and that's just what is "public."
Typing up the next section, hold on...

Okay, this thing is 3 pages long, and I don't want to type it all (nor do I want to risk getting sued), so heres a few short excerpts from the rest:
That's about all I felt was worth looking at, but it's a breath of fresh (yet old) information about TF2 / HL2... interesting to see they had this all planned out years ago.
