Team Fortress 2 Update Released

Fate

This build of Team Fortress 2 was completely scrapped. Nothing in this version would appear in the final version of Team Fortress 2. Instead, the team took a completely different direction when they began making the next build; instead of trying to make a large, RTS-like FPS game, they went back and streamlined the classic Team Fortress games for a new generation of gamers, then added a unique art style.

It seems possible that this build’s complexity is what killed it. One of the Developer Commentaries in the final Team Fortress 2 mention that they had made the game too complex, so as the make the Commander option from the first build useful. From what has been seen, the Brotherhood of Arms design was not very complex, but Invasion was. Its possible that Robin Walker, the dev that made the commentary, mixed up Brotherhood of Arms and Invasion.

Operation Starched Silliness

May 4, 2020 — TF2 Team

Rick May, the inimitable voice of the Soldier for thirteen years, many shorts and countless updates, passed away this April at age 79. We were lucky enough to work with Rick many times in the studio over the past decade. A quick-witted and kind-hearted collaborator, Rick endowed the character with a trademark bellow and bootfulls of idiotic charm. The Soldier wouldn’t be the Soldier without him.

We are honoring Rick during the month of May with an in-game Soldier statue that will play some of Rick’s signature lines. He will be missed by the Team Fortress dev team and community, and remembered for the indelible character he helped bring to life for so many years.

Merry Smissmas, Everyone!

Team Fortress 2 Update Released

Тест: вспомни все СНГ-команды, которые играли на мейджорах по CS:GO

Игроки и критики невероятно тепло восприняли долгожданную Team Fortress 2. В рейтингах различных серьезных изданий она получала от 86 до 100 баллов, ее Metascore – 92.

AceGamez: «Сочетание высоко стилизованного представления ретро-шпионов, мощного и энергичного экшена, глубоких и разнообразных классов с блестящим юмором делает Team Fortress 2 куда большим, чем просто фрагфест. После того, как новизна графики уходит на второй план, у нас остается изысканная многопользовательская игра, одновременно развивающая новых игроков и в то же время достаточно глубокая, чтобы удержать даже самых стойких ветеранов».

Team Fortress 2 Update Released

Gameplay

This build of Team Fortress 2 would be based on collecting an object known as Resource. Resources could be obtained by killing enemies, destroying enemy buildables or by getting them from a Resource Pump. When collected, Resources would be added to the team’s Resource Bank, which would be used to create and upgrade buildings.

There would be a heavy emphasis on buildable objects. All classes would be able to build at least one object.

Teams could also upgrade their buildings by investing Resources into creating upgrades. Some upgrades include Self-Heal, which automatically repairs a damaged building, and Vehicle Boost, which makes a vehicle slightly faster.

Vehicles were to play a part in the game. A special building called the Vehicle Bay could be built, which would then be able to build vehicles. However, the building of these vehicles would need resources.

It is unknown how a team would be able to win. Most likely, a team would have to either gather a certain amount of Resources and/or destroy the enemy’s Resource Bank.

The setting for the game would be Humans vs. Aliens. However, we do not know what the actual maps looked like, as the only art resources for the game known are two player models. Also, this build did not take place in the Half-Life 2 universe, despite rumors stating otherwise.

Based on the importance of buildings and collecting Resources, it seems as if this build would essentially be a real-time strategy game, but with classes (based on the Team Fortress classes) that are directly controlled by the player from a first person view.
