TF2 release date

[DeafOfficeWorker]

So, the latest rumor is Oct. '07. Maybe this one's for real.

[l3eeron]

I'll keep my fingers crossed

[three_gunn]

it'd be the only thing i'd want for christmas this year

[ProudWhiteTrash]

I don't think Valve has ever made a release date for anything.

Saw the other day that TF2 will allegedly ship on 10/9/07. We'll see.

I really dont think Im gonna be that interested in TF2. It is nothing to what it was originally gonna be, and looks to cheesy now

I see a divide coming between the TF2 gamers and the FF gamers, I think ill be on the FF side, looks more like TFC:S lol

[DeafOfficeWorker]

Yeah, but FF seems to be identical to TFC with a new paint job. What's interesting/fun about that?

[three_gunn]

it won't be hard to play both versions...the only reason i'd see a divide happening is because someone had to choose one version over the other due to finances (which is completely understandable).

"Electronic Arts is distributing the games at retail as a package entitled Half-Life 2: The Orange Box, which also includes the original Half-Life 2 and last year's Half-Life 2: Episode One."

That's great. Go to bed with EA (aka The Great Satan of Gaming). The next thing you know, they'll scrap STEAM (which sux) for the EA Link (10x worse than STEAM, no kidding). I guess they just want all of us to buy consoles.

From planet half-life:

"Team Fortress 2 has one of the most complicated histories of any game ever made. Originating in April of 1997 as a planned sequel to the hit mod Team Fortress for Quake 1, the game was initially intended to be an add-on for Quake 2, but shortly thereafter made a switch to the Half-Life engine instead. After a few months of development, Valve decided to make TF2 its own standalone product rather than an add-on, so Team Fortress Classic was created to tide the fans over while the new game was developed from scratch."

I didn't realize TF2 originated in April of 1997!!! Ten years! That's gotta be a record!

I first heard of TF2 in '98 or '99, I think (the Brotherhood in Arms farce). There were screenies, pre-orders and everything then *POOF*

October can't get here soon enough!

No, that's lies.

Look up DukeNukem Forever. It beats TF2 for bizarre and lengthy history. But TF2 and DukeNukem Forever are in a class by themselves when it comes to how long they have been "in the making".

WORD for both:

Vaporware!! [Until I actually see the product!]

[regis]

Duke, They're still working on DukeNukem Forever?? I thought they had given up on it..

[DukeNukem]

That my be true Regis. It would certainly be no surprise to me that they finally faced the truth.

BUT!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is a link to the current 3DRealms website about it:
