I love the Medic. Wait, no. I hate playing TF2 as the Medic but a good medic can offset almost an entire team. This video proves it. Meet the Medic. → Read More
Even though the movies were, arguably, abysmal, like Boba Fett and Big Trouble In Little China, we geeks hold a special place in our hearts for all things Tron. To wit: modders have created Tron-based TF2 skins in red and blue, featuring electroluminescent piping, fancy smocks, and even a tasteful but unobtrusive mod to the Spy with a full jacket and tie with just the merest hint of a glow. Click through to see the red team. → Read More
We’ve seen sentry guns before, working ones in fact, but this one takes a special place in our hearts… like everything Valve-related. This particular one isn’t a DIY project, though, it was put together by none other than WETA, famous for having done the special effects work in every movie, ever.
It seems Valve commissioned them to make the thing, and they’ve really come through. → Read More
To the creator of this Warhammer 40K TF2 mod,
Please, please, please finish your fine work and release it for the whole world to enjoy. It looks like about the best thing ever created. → Read More
It’s nearly impossible to play TF2 right now. The teams are nearly 80% engineers and min-sentries are scattered everywhere. But that’s only because Valve’s latest TF2 update turned the Engineer class into a bonafide fun class. Want in on a little-known secret about the update? Click through to see how you can now rocket jump as an Engineer. → Read More
Note: A reader sent us this interesting take on Steam and DRM, but requested to stay anonymous due to the nature of the article. We of course obliged.
Up until a few weeks ago, the last PC game I purchased and didn’t pirate was Team Fortress 2 via the digital download service, Steam. The last PC game I purchased in a retail box was Half Life 2. Yet like many, I’ve still managed to play every PC hit over the last decade. I simply couldn’t justify spending $50 on a game when pirating offers so many real benefits verses owning a legit copy.
Part of my motivation was that it’s just so damn easy to pirate a game. It’s like three clicks of the mouse to download a torrent and even less on Usernet. The files download as fast as my cable modem allows and I have the full game with simple cracking instructions a few minutes later. Why in the world would I want to drive to a store and give them $50 for the same thing? → Read More

As I just told Nicholas, who truly doesn’t care, this is big news. The Engineer is the only class in Team Fortress 2 not yet updated with new gear and Valve just released this video teaser showing that’s about to change. But what is he working on? A new sentry perhaps? Landmines? Something totally awesome I can’t imagine? God I hope so. [via Kotaku] → Read More
So, yeah, there was a short-lived TF2 bug that allowed for unlimited sentry guns and dispensers. Want video proof? We got it. → Read More
This is just sweet. There’s no other word for it. Ignore the comical knees and slightly more bulky build, that’s the TF2 Spy. He has everything from the smirky grin to his cigerate to his various masks. It’s classic. → Read More
Who didn’t love the Choose your Own Adventure books as a kid? It always felt cheating on the other books because while the stories where always lame, the books where so much fun. Just like this YouTube Team Fortress 2 interactive video that seriously captures the essence of the classic books. But at least both are great at killing time and are a good amount of fun. → Read More
Awesome. I’d rather see the TF2 version before the crap out of Hollywood. Watch the real trailer after the jump to to be even more impressed. [via JoelJohnson] → Read More
Don’t get too excited like I did. While Brink is really an upcoming game, it’s not going to be like the video above. It’s a full-featured console and PC shooting that’s supposed to come out this fall. But this trailer, made with the sounds and themes of Team Fortress 2, conjures up thoughts of how freaking cool the game would be as a TF2 mod. Make sure you watch it in 1080 fullscreen mode, too. → Read More
Forgive me, I’m back on TF2 after a short stint playing Borderlands and Dead Space. (the latter is super lame, btw) But this cartoon is not only absolutely genius, it’s also very appropriate as today’s Valentine’s Day. Trust me, stick with the video until the end. It will certainly bring a smile to your face — or at least it should. → Read More

A few of you may already know that Team Fortress 2 didn’t always look like Toy Story más violence, but for the unawares: it did. So, proof! A certain Curits Lassam, friend to all, found an old PC Gamer preview fromthe year two-thousand that described the game in its old, Counter-Strike-like art style. Yuck. → Read More
Young lads, the TF2 will be free this weekend only. Jump onto Steam right now and start preloading the awesome multiplayer game. You’ll be able to start playing this Thursday night as the new WAR! update goes live that features new special items and maps. Isn’t this glorious news?! → Read More
Quick, you have until 2:00 PDT to get Team Fortress 2 for only $2.50. That’s a deal. This could be in fact the best deal of the year. After all, TF2 is one of the very best multiplayer games every created. Period. It’s a fact and you can’t say anything otherwise. So, whip out that credit card and spend the $2.50. It’s totally worth it. → Read More
YouTube is filled with TF2 fan videos and tributes, but I’ve never seen one this well done. The video is a bit long at 8:29 and takes a few minutes to get going, but it actually has a compelling story. I think Bob Ross, the gentle painter, would appreciate the message that everyone needs a friend. → Read More
