Linoleum Knive Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 June 23, 2011â??Valve, creators of bestselling game franchises (such as Half-Life, Portal, Left 4 Dead, and Counter-Strike) and leading technologies (such as Steam and Source), announced today that after four years and over 200 updates, its popular and critically-acclaimed online action game Team Fortress 2 (TF2) is now Free To Play (F2P). The F2P announcement comes as part of the "Ã?ber Update". Released today, it is the largest content pack delivered to TF2 since it shipped in 2007. New players interested in experiencing what PC Gamer calls "the most fun you can have online" will have access to training and offline practice modes, so they can hone their skills before jumping into the ever-expanding TF2 universe. To celebrate the launch of the Ã?ber Update, Valve has released "Meet the Medic," the latest in its series of TF2 animated shorts. TF2 is now Free to Play for PC & Mac players via Steam. For more information on Free to Play, please visit http://www.teamfortress.com/freetoplay. For more information on the "Ã?ber Update" and "Meet the Medic", please visit http://www.teamfortress.com/uberupdate. TL;DR: TF2 IS NOW FREE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOMNOM Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 it's not, it means that the company is slowly crashing down to nothing Or that they clearly have something much better coming around the corner soon and are trying to build a larger TF2 fan base before releasing their next project. TL;DR - TF3 is coming out soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rapt0r J3sus Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 VALVe cant count to three. Left 4 Dead 2, HL2 Ep. 2, etc ^this. Well, they didn't release HL2 ep 2 or L4D2 for free, have they? But is there going to be some sort of compensation for the money paid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa John Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 inb4 mass amount of hackers. i want my money back, not hats. this ^^ The only reason VAC bans worked is because you had to rebuy the game, now all you have is IP bans and we all know how well that works...

r3dm0nd Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I think this is a good thing as its lets more people enjoy the game without having to pay for it, but there is a huge flaw to this system (which is now the way that the gaming industry is switching to). With any game what you pay for should be what you get, but the industry is changing into this mentality that we will make certain items available from the start for a purchase, or even just giving them away as preorders at certain store (more console games). By doing this it hurts gamers as I can go to best buy pick up a game and by getting it there get a great gun from the start but you went to wal-mart and recieved nothing with your purchase so now I have an advantage.

Princess Luna Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Meet the Medic was the most kick-ass thing I've seen since Rocky IV's last round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Derp Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 I bought it a few months ago, all i got for buying it was a level 1 hat named "Proof of Purchase" Looks just like the soldiers hat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluHorse Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 I bought it a few months ago, all i got for buying it was a level 1 hat named "Proof of Purchase"Looks just like the soldiers hat don't forget a premium account as well which allows trading!

troy1794 Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 i guess because so many people buy hats and items and the game has been out for so long that they hope new players will do the same. I am happy to see more people on a great game but now a hacker can just make new steam accounts and he isnt wasting any money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
