Team Fortress 2 Revealed for Real this Time
Valve unveiled shocking news at a Electronic Arts function that the much delayed Team Fortress 2 will finally come out as the multiplayer feature of Half-life 2: Episode 2. The graphics have been over-hauled to be cell-shaded and Pixar Incredibles-like. Half-life 2: Episode 1 was only $19.99, so it would be one sweet value if the second iteration launches at the same price.
Valve also announced that the day it is released on PC, they will have a version of Half-life 2 with the original game, both new episodes, Portal, and Team Fortress 2 for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. The target date before this was December, however with all these new additions, this could easily be delayed.
