Big TF2 Announcement next week.

In this fridays steam update news VALVe said they were going to make a big TF2 announcement next week. People have been speculating and thinking about a demo, pre-release or a try-out version for everyone who buys and preloads the orange box.

And as everyone know FF needs to be released before TF2, or else it will just be a faint mod(for most average gamers) in the shadow TF2. So how are you going to handle this, if TF2 gets a pre-release or the like?

I know how hard you've been working on this mod(probably i don't). And i really want to see it be successful, on the behalf of everyone who has contributed to it. And personally, i think FF will beat TF2, but that's not just what the average gamer who has been fed with TF2 hype will think. FF has to be released before TF2, for it's own sake.

Yea I certainly hope its a pre-release so that server OP's can go live with it before hand, otherwise they'll be a load of players and nowhere to play!

Microsoft now own Steam?

I think it's a preload beta type thing, you buy it now and you get to play it (limited to 1 map).

Either that or a free-weekend type promotion.

I've only read something like next update, engineer Steam, so I guess what I said could make sense, but...why the hype.

I'm going to resist calling you ignorant Mangetsu, but it's not easy.
In the news update they informed us that they we're releasing the engineer video next week, and in addition to that they had a big announcement. Please read thoroughly before you post. http://www.steampowered.com/Steam/Ma.../message/1187/
Read the news one more time, and try making sense out of what you just said. Aint easy, huh?

"In other TF2 news, stay tuned for a pretty big announcement next week. You're going to want to hold off on planning any vacations until you hear what we've got to say on Tuesday."

They are going to announce that all the tf2 stuff so far released is a joke, and TF2:Brothers In Arms is really coming out.

*You guys are SO going to shit if I am right about that....

That's just speculation. Lan Center pre-release wouldn't be "big news".

I never said it wasn't speculation heh. Nonetheless, the email from Valve to the lan centers isn't speculation at all, they said they would most likely get the game into the lan centers ahead of the release date. And I don't see how the game being out and lan centers having it wouldn't be news, though it very well could only be part of what Valve is doing.

Oh, I know what it is.

They're going to tell us that they've actually been behind the production of FF and TF2 doesn't truly exist, and then they'll release FF.

no i think the big news will just be that , after they are all done they are going to take a BIG vacation and then when there back they will decide if they want to release it or not... in other words they will give the proposed release day.. wich will be 2 months from now, and it will come in several cardboard box flavors, orange , purple, and ,chartruce , and now plad
