Awaiting the Orange Box

gamesIt's been a long time coming and it's almost here. I've been waiting years for Team Fortress 2 to make it's debut. Team Fortress 1 (the Quake mod) was a blast to play. Team Fortress Classic was a mediocre attempt to capture TF1 into a new engine and since then there's been a buzz about TF2 being released one day or another. It's been touted alongside Duke Nukem Forever as "vaporware" - but the release is nigh.

Alot of people don't like the game styling of cell animation, but I think it will make for a great game. So far, most of what we've been given glimpses of are animation shorts - but they're holding me over and whetting my appetite. So here's a few for you to watch too.
  • Team Fortress 2 : Meet the Heavy Weapon Guy
  • Team Fortress 2 : Meet the Soldier
  • Team Fortress 2 : Meet the Engineer
  • Team Fortress 2 : Meet the Demoman

    So there you have it 3 of the handful of classes available to play in TF2. Maybe if you don't know anything about TF2, here's one more video for you.

    Grendel sez: Don't forget Portal is in the Orange Box too!
    update: Added "Meet the Demoman" link. "Aye!"

    Tf2 will rule, period.

    also HL2 Ep2 is gonna be good, its a pretty large expansion to the series from what I read

    Why do they have to release all three of these at the same time? Couldn't they spread out the love so that I don't have to decide which one to play?

    I played it last night on my low-res TV. It's good I guess, but didn't blow my mind or anything. The graphics are neat, but the gameplay really isn't substantially different than any other class-based FPS, or TFC for that matter. But don't take my word for it!

    I really loved TF2 so far, clear maps, sharp gfx, and gameplay that is fast and violent
