TEAM FORTRESS 2 "BIG NEWS" ANNOUNCED!
AngelsDontBurn | 1:20 PM on 09.11.2007 12 comments


**UPDATE: dyslixec and I posted it at the SAMETIME practically. Hahaha. OH WELL! IT'S WORTH TWO C-BLOGS!



So I'm happy but at the sametime I'm sad. Basically the preloading starts today and there's even a special deal going on Steam! But the BIG part of the news is that the Team Fortress 2 beta starts on the 17th! You read right. The 17th! JUST like Fortress Forever! UH OH! I'm excited about it! So mark your calendars! Preload if you want! JUST BE READY FOR IT!

You complain more than an old woman, jesus.

I really hope this beta thing will catch on with many other games to come.
AngelsDontBurn's Destructoid Blog
@Snaileb: It definitely seems like it is!
RICHARD BLOCKER's Destructoid Blog
I was hoping the big news was going to be that it was going to be released next week.
AngelsDontBurn's Destructoid Blog
Yeah, I'm kind of let down due to the fact that they said what they said and gave people hope in thinking it would be released today. Oh well, that will just make Monday get here sooner. I wonder if anyone actually took work off for it. :O
balth's Destructoid Blog
This whole 'beta' thing sounds like an interesting marketing ploy. My only question is that since it's unfinished software, will people actually play it?

Methinks not.

that is all.
AngelsDontBurn's Destructoid Blog
Well then you're horribly incorrect sir. Considering people have waited a decade to play this, they definitely will. Even if it wasn't a decade they still would. Look at the COD 4 beta, Halo 3 beta and Quake Wars beta.
Phist's Destructoid Blog
I'll give you a preloaded beta. Balth, this is the trend now and we are such suckers, so it works. But at the end, they end up happier (and richer) than we do.

I would do this... but chances are I'll be playing Orange Box on my 360.

My computer needs an upgrade. Which I will do eventually! (When I get money!)
