Tf2?

[ViolenceJack]

I didnt bother searching and just skimmed the thread titles and didnt see any TF2 references. I mean who cares about HL3, valves next game is TF2 or at least should be TF2.

TF2 will be valves main Multiplayer to go with HL2 like TFC was for HL, for abit. This is the next wait, at least for me. I mean if HL2 has no MP and just has CS:S then there isnt really any multiplayer to keep the game going, nothing new anyway. I really cant imagine TF2 is that far away they even said when HL2 is out more is going to be said about TF2 and thats not very far away.

Lombardi also declined to discuss the long-in-development "Team Fortress 2." The title, originally expected in 2001, has been under a veil of secrecy for nearly as long as "Half-Life 2" was. 18 months ago, Valve promised to discuss "TF2" after it finished the announcement process for "Half-Life 2."

"Right now, the same thing applies," said Lombardi. "We're on it and we're going to be releasing more soon."

Yeah, they did promise but of course we get a response back from lombardi denying to speak about it. Hopefully we will hear something this year, i just hope they are planning on releasing TF2 in the next 6 months.

hmmm wonder how long we'll have to wait for some info after the 16th...

TF sucks. As much as Unreal and Doom 3 multi player sucks. Counter Strike is the best multiplayer game period.

welcome to your own opinion.

HL2 Alpha

Anyone that got ahold of that old HL2 Alpha Build might have seen that in the included map editor, there were HL2 options, and TF2 options. At least this shows they were thinking about working on it =P

Merc (member who visited valve) tested Half-Life 2 and as they were loading from the desktop he saw a "Team Fortress 2" icon. Plus, we've heard a numerous amount of things about TF2 in the alpha leak of HL2, let's see..rick ellis saying and i quote "They'll kill me if i talk about it." I guess we will have to wait it out until they start talking about it. We all know this is like their own in house MP, so we can assume it's going to be EXTREMELLY kick ass, and hopefully surpass CS:S. I like TFC a lot, but it's nice to know TF2 is going to be a lot more realistic, with combined gameplay from CS and TFC.

I actually have a pre-order slip from circa 1999 for Team Fortress 2, which I believe I aquired prior to TF2 becoming "it's own" title... Or maybe it was just after.

Anyway, I was really into the original Team Fortress, but my 5-year-old pre-order slip and the $10 it cost are all but forgotten.

The source code had a lot of information about tf2.
I was trying to learn c++ when i read through segments.
it made some sense. Gave a good idea of the classes and their abilities.

I don't remember much. and what little i do should probably not be told

Old TF2 leak info

I keep a .doc of TF2 tidbits. Some of which allegedly leaked with the Alpha.

Some items of interest, who knows if they're true. Anybody got anything else of interest?:

Spoiler

Your team has a resource bank account, it costs resources to get techs (which tech your team buys is voted on). There will be 6 different tech levels. Different technologies can combine. You must already have certain techs before you can access new ones. Engineers/Sappers(?) can build sandbags, resource pumps/boxes, anti-mortars. Recons have jetpacks (maybe a tech?).

Some of the ammo types include: Bullets, Rockets, Grenades, ShieldGrenades, Shotgun Energy, PlasmaGrenade, Resource chunks, Limpets, Gasoline, RallyFlags, EMPGenerators. The Harpoon can impale things (even players?)

TF2 Vehicles: Battering ram, Flatbed, Motar, Motorcycle, Siege Tower, Tank, Wagon, Teleport station. 'Walkers': ministrider, strider.

RECON = Scout
COMMANDO = Demoman
MEDIC = Medic
DEFENDER = HW
SNIPER = Sniper
SUPPORT = variation of soldier
ESCORT = variation of soldier
SAPPER = Engineer
INFILTRATOR = Spy
PYRO = Pyro

^^^ sweet man a few of those things i never even heard about. I can't freaking wait to have HL2 unlocked on my pc and then hear some TF2 information. That'd be awesome if they had a teaser trailer for us or something!

 

[rammstein]

haha, this TF2 propaganda is so sweet

I really hope that it comes out.... thoose vehicles would be awesome

ministrider, strider.

Hm, could that mean that..

Spoiler

it has connections to the hl2 story?

or something?

 

[Eternity]

TF2 will also support deformation technology. That was said by a team member. (AKA, you can blast a hole in the ground.)

 

[Orange]

those look pretty much like what i saw.

Believe it or not, a friend of mine asked at E3 about TF2 and they said something among the lines of "We can't talk about it because that would reveil certain things about HL2 which we wan't to keep as a suprise until release."

I knew tokin would be the first reply or at least one of the first :E

It would be cool if it is related to HL2, How could you beat an unbeatable single player game combined with an unbeatable multiplayer. Well considering its unbeatable you couldnt. Maybe HL2/TF2 be the best SP/MP game until somin new comes along, say VR or at least a new control system. its abit far fenched i know but for me my self I really dont see FPS going a hell of alot further unless they mix with other genres such as FPS/RTS IE Natural Selection (which i believe flayra the head dev wants to make his own games in the NS universe) and savage. Also Deus Ex was a solid FPS and that was FPS/RPG combined. FPS on there own are getting abit thin. Look at doom3, most devs seem to be just living off graphics technology atm to try make the best FPS thankfully valve didnt.

That err spoiler actually seems to sound abit like a mix of mods that have been on HL, maybe valve got some ideas from them and picked the best bits if it is true.
