Team Fortress 2!

Posted by Mark | Filed under Computers, Links, Software

I used to love play­ing video games and would waste entire days doing noth­ing else, but over the last cou­ple of years I’ve started slip­ping away from that hobby. The expense of keep­ing my com­puter updated to han­dle the lat­est games com­bined with the pain I’d get in my wrists just kind of killed the fun. Par­tic­u­larly since I wasn’t see­ing a lot of new games to keep up my inter­est. Well, if the game behind this trailer plays any­where close to as good as it looks; then I’ll be back to burn­ing the mid­night oil to lay waste to the enemy. *grin*

You see, one of my all-time favorite video games was the orig­i­nal Team Fortress mod for Half-Life. The class choices, may­hem and fun were an unbeat­able com­bi­na­tion¹. Then as other mods were devel­oped fur­ther; Valve announced they were going to go all out on mak­ing TF2. This was 5 years ago and was the last we heard from Valve about it. At least the last we heard until this month when they released the offi­cial trailer for TF2. The new char­ac­ter mod­els are wicked cool and oddly enough some­thing about the trailer reminds me of No One Lives For­ever (another great video game).

Just wow! I can­not think of any bet­ter descrip­tion of how cool this trailer looks. Go on, hit the link and watch it yourself!

¹ At least I’ve always thought so, but oth­ers have pre­ferred that POS called Counter-Strike.
