Team Fortress 2 Engineer is as smart as he is insane!

First we were introduced to the Heavy Weapons guy. Then we saw the Soldier in action. Today, Valve brings us the Engineer. One thing that seems to be a common trait among every class in Team Fortress 2 seems to be that they are all bat sh*t insane! Seriously, how can anyone play the guitar with bullets landing inches away from their face?!

Don't forget that you can get in on the Team Fortress 2 beta starting up next Monday too. Also, I had some hands-on time with the game during the EA Showcase that will be up tomorrow. Here's a preview: I didn't really like it ... DUN DUN DUN!

Awesome video. As I recall, CTZ, you had un-nice things to say about sniping in COD4 as well, which I haven't really seen a problem with. MAYBE YOU SHOULD JUST GO PLAY QUAKE 2, OLD MAN.

I'm not sure if I want the orange box on PC or 360. I know if I buy it for pc I will never do multiplayer.

@ArrestedDeveloper

Then buy it on 360. Why would you play TF2 on single player?

Clearly that means you should get the 360 version, like every democracy loving American will do.

God damn these videos are so awesome! I can't wait for this thing to come out. I spent many a night playing the original TFC.

Wonderful video. Not quite as fun as the other two, but still great.

@robotplague

TFC isn't the original though, that's why it's called Team Fortress Classic.

The original is still my favorite, nothing beats a well-made Quakeworld TC!

If you don't buy Team Fortress 2 for the 360, you're helping to finance Osama bin Laden's next haircut. Think about that, won't you?

You mean this game is finally coming out! *gasp* I loved Team Fortress when it was a mod for quake... loved the mod of the mod, Mega Team Fortress too.

Any of the console versions support mouse and keyboard? Otherwise, here I come PC version!

Please do the Scout next. I just know he's some type of over-caffeinated speed freak that talks a mile a minute.

@casual: Oh god! He'd probably talk like the Micro Machine Man o.o! But this video was pretty good. Kinda wish they'd get around to showing off the Spy soon. I loves me some stealthy-disguisy spy goodness.

These teasers are a cavalcade of violent delights, and I hope their charming charisma doesn't get wasted on the unoriginal class-based FPS time waster TF2 may turn out to be.

Be honest with yourself; if it weren't for the Orange Box tie-in and the Pixar visuals we'd probably let this dip under and out of the radar. I look forward to giving it a whirl anyway.

Personally, I think everyone should buy the Orange Box because it's so damn cheap. It's like, how can you not get that much for that price? Who knows. Maybe it could start a trend. $50 games FTW?

These trailers are excellent! Making a movie out of this would be... well come to think of it... quit lame 'cause I'll be PLAYING the game for years.
