Steam News - September 7 - BIG TF2 News

[CSN NewsBot]

This week's Steam news update for September 7, 2007 is all about Team Fortress 2. Let's cut right to the chase.

You've met the Heavy, You've met the Soldier. In a few short days you'll be able to meet the Engineer, the third character to introduce himself from Team Fortress 2. The high-definition movie will be posted on Steam early next week.



While the Heavy considers bullets-per-minute the measure of a man, and the Soldier values an unusually deep knowledge of military philosophy, the Engineer is content to solve problems. Practical problems. Click the thumbnails for a sneak peek.

In other TF2 news, stay tuned for a pretty big announcement next week. You're going to want to hold off on planning any vacations until you hear what we've got to say on Tuesday.

Oh, just some mysterious, big announcement coming on Tuesday? That's it? Pfft...



Thanks for leaving us on the edge of our seats Valve! Early release? Pre-load? Demo? Beta? Actual working weapon miniatures hand delivered by Gabe to our doors?! Tuesday is so far away now.



The new video should be amazing, especially if it's as good as the first two were. I'm personally awaiting the Sniper video. Anybody else see the mysterious shadowed figure hiding in the third picture, or am I just imagining things? I'm also quite glad to see dark/twilight maps making a return.

Tuesday's Press Release:



"WAIT MOAR LOL!" -Gabe

[-:Nighthawk:-]

Nope, I can't see a sniper crouched down in the bushes, you've just got an overactive imagination. Pretty soon you'll be pointing out elephants in the clouds, mark my words.



Definitely canceling all my flights in Q4 of 2010... I don't wanna miss the release weekend!



All sarcasm aside, I have been enjoying the "meet the..." vids and the unique sense of humor they've presented thus far. Hopefully the engineer video maintains the same high standard.

So what's the announcement going to be? We already know it's being released in a few weeks.



You know what? Maybe they're going to hold an event to playtest TF2 or release it to Cafe owners like they did with CS:S or something.



Or maybe it's just a "Gone Gold" announcement?

[fodder0]

yes, more than likely the announcement is the release to cyber cafe owners.



my local gaming center owner said the following,

"We just got confirmation today, in a roundabout way, from Valve. Looks like we should have it some time this week. We're going to look at getting it all set up this Monday."

Gabe's on Jenny Craig.

Or he's become the new Subway spokesperson

Come to think of it, I remember one of the guys that works at my LAN center made mention of setting up TF2 soon, but I couldn't hear well him over the roar of gaming.

[Threeboy]

The announcement is wait for the announcement.

This was already released, a few months ago - for people in the Seattle area.
