Team Fortress 2 (TF2) is a multiplayer team-based first-person shooter with strategy elements, being developed by Valve Corporation.
The game started life as a sequel to the original Team Fortress mod for Quake, but has since been through various concepts and designs. In 1999 the game appeared to be deviating from the original Team Fortress (and Valve's own Team Fortress Classic) by heading toward a more realistic and militaristic style of gameplay, but the design metamorphosed further over the game's seven-year development. The final rendition of Team Fortress 2 appears to bear more resemblance to the original Team Fortress and Team Fortress Classic games, and sports a cartoon-like visual style, following a popular trend in recent CGI films.
The lack of information or apparent progress for six years of the game's development caused it to be labeled as vaporware, and it was regularly featured in Wired News' annual vaporware list among other ignominies.
As of 2007-08-23, four trailers for Team Fortress 2 have now been released and are widely available on various gaming-related Web sites and Steam, Valve's content delivery system.
On 09/17/07 a Beta for those who pre-purchased the Orange Box was released. Upon release, the game couldn't start up. The issue was resolved within the hour. There is no word on when the Beta will end. It is still going on as of 9/22/07.
Trivia
- There's now a "Meet the Engineer" trailer. GO POOP IT NOW.
