Meet the Medic - Team Fortress 2

Now I feel like the Orange Box was pointless. :frowning:

Wat… it’s 5 years fucking old

Yeah, I bought TF2 a couple years ago for like $10 or $20, and I’ve logged over 900 hours of gameplay so far. I’d say I got my money’s worth out of it. Couldn’t care less if you can get it free now, just means more people might play. Personally I think most everyone who wanted to play it has bought it by now, but I guess there might be some who didn’t want to plunk down the cash for it. I know people are saying there will be more kids in there now but as long as I can mute people and disable chat when I need to, it’s just more easy targets. :slight_smile:

More kids - more fun gangraping them and hear them crying in the mic - until you mute them.

Wow, that video was a whole lot better than I thought it’d be.

Yeah, I just realized that. Man, I wish I could see the funding statistics first hand at the Valve office. It would really be interesting to see.

He isn’t blind and wear eye patch just to look badass.

No, it’s just because he’s both scottish and black

Great video, Valve is just getting better and better at this.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Episode 3 is just a movie that closes the HL2 story arc and then acts as a transition into HL3.

Actually that would be massively retarded.

I didn’t think I’d like Meet the Medic as i was never a big fan of the Medic as a character but wow that was by far the best one yet.

Portal was the whole Orange Box to me.

God, I feel like it was only yesterday that I stared at the steam screen unaware of what game on the Orange Box to play first. :rolleyes:

Pretty Awesome, but I kinda preferred Meet the Spy.

That one is really tough to beat.

And as weird as it may sound, this video kinda puts the medic in a different light for me. He’s always seemed kinda bland and unknown to me, but I think this adds a lot to his personality.

Brilliant!!!

That’s how I feel with all the class vids really.

It gave Sniper parents and a personal life outside of the game. It gave Heavy creepy affinity for his weapons. It gave Demoman (for me) that ā€œI’m too racially diverse so where the fuck do I belong?ā€ aspect that I really respect because of all the characters I relate to that the most. It didn’t really do anything for Scout because he’s basically all out there. Fuck, meet the spy was just as much the Scout’s as it was Spy’s.

Who the fuck was your maths teacher?

lol’d?

DAMNIT I wrote a big review and forgot to press the Post Quick reply button
Now the damn thing is gone. SHIIIT.

By making TF2 F2P, they’re not just making a good deal, but they’re making it a platform itself.

When Gabe Newell talked at E3 last year about converting entertainment as a product to entertainment as a service, this is what he was talking about. With Mann CO, there are unlimited possibilities for gaming experiences, so its not a bland online game like CoD or CSS where you buy it, and play it.

They said they did they’re 200th update on TF2 a few months back, so the game is always being edited, and experimented with. Unlike other game developers, they don’t wait until a Team Fortress 3 to fix all the problems that players didn’t like. Steam revolutionized this entire area of gaming for Valve.

On topic, I laughed for about half an hour at the Spy’s head in the fridge. ā€œKill me.ā€ ā€œLaterā€¦ā€
