TF2 article in this months PC Gamer

[Solo]

dunno when it hits news statds but as a subscriber i already have the October issue and p.52 has a TF2 article on it (caption on front cover) I haven't even opened the magazine to read the article yet but thought I'd mention at least that it's there.

[Bp-2X]

best news since the human walked on the moon. :]

Go open it and tell us if there is real screen shot

[smurph]

*goes to mailbox*

Just came back and it wasn't there, thanks solo, you made me go outside. :mad:

Haha!

To sum it up: **WARNING* SPOILERS LOCATED IN BLACK TEXT BELOW!*

- *NEW* Release estimate: Spring 2007*
- Gravity gun will get new functionality
- Alyx is alive
- Vortigaunts will be more fleshed out
- More details about GMan will be revealed
- New vehicle will be introduced made by some guys in the woods. Will serve as enemy rammer =P
- You will cover the same amount of locales as in hl2 and the new locales will have a much more realistic feel to them since they are based off real locations (missile silo, mine shaft, etc.)
- Eli and Kleiner have set up base in the missile silo and you have to get the packet to them
- We'll see the UBER and most difficult physics puzzle to date in episode 2
- New weapon known as Strider buster
- Strider and Hunter now has a weak spot *could change*
-Big battlefield-esque combat engagements with lots of enemies and allies fighting. Woods provide plenty of cover
- OH! And new yet-to-be-announced multiplayer game will ship with episode two...might it be TF2 set during the 7 Hour War?
- ... (Any parts I forgot =P)

PM me for scans!

Episode Two sounds very juicy...though sucks to see the release date havign slipped already =\.

*Just to make something clear, the release date is NOT pushed back! It's still slated for a Holiday 2006 release! Please take a look at smash's topic for further details!
edit: This might not be the new article? It's what turned up when I googled "pc gamer tf2 article" figuring I could find a scan somewhere, but some of this info seems old.

[MitsuMan]

Yeah that thread was posted back in june, so it's not the new article

[Seneka]

just saying sup to solo, DG, and phish. g



god please don't make me play this game when it comes out!

[DarthGreg]

Seneka! How have you been bro? It's good to see you - been worried since you disappeared after all that business with the hurricanes, if you have it in you drop by IRC sometime!

[Solo]

Seneka you whore the Gators suck!

The article is worthless. It essentially says they're trying to turn it into a cartoony look and they think some of the purists will be disappointed by that initially.

They have screenshots of 2fort... doesn't look even remotely like 2fort... it's about 4 paragraphs long and made me hope FF beats the TF2 release. (I think first one out gets the community)

[Count]

Yeah just read that a few days ago..didn't seem to have much new news though.

[Kyosuke]

someone scan in the magazine and show us!!!! :)

[smurph]

I'll scan it as soon as I get it (prolly tomorrow). Just need someone to upload.

[One Winged Angel]

ack I haven't finished EP1 yet, damn you!Seriously, the last thing I expected in a TF2 article thread was spoilers to a story line I have yet to experience.

yeah no shit thank you darthgreg for the spoilers

[DarthGreg]

Don't thank me, thank PC Gamer.

[CHIPMAN]

Spoiler = located in black text now.

[Janus]

I can scan the article when I get home from work. Doesn't say a lot, just the same stuff pretty much. Oh and from what I can tell the 2fort bases are not going to be symmetrical if I remember correctly!

[Direhit]

Scan away.

[dys]

I too believe this is DarthGreg's fault.

[Janus]

bah, i forgot i left my scanner with my roommate last year. anyone else able to do so?

If you can't read it, I have close ups, however I think it's pretty visable. Best I could do with a digital camera and horrible lighting.

[Cobalt]

Smurph, I'll still ul for you. Just find me tommorow - I won't be up much longer and you lagged outta irc

[schwaBAM]

Nice.

I reinstalled TFC about a week ago and played a few times. Dunno if anyone remembers |N0|Axis, but we played for a couple hours last night. We forgot how much fun it was.

Can't wait to play TF2 and FF.

[goldplatypus]

non-symmetrical farm 2fort? very interesting

[Dogysamich]

Go open it and tell us if there is real screen shot
They had a real screenshot of it about 7 years ago or so when they first announced tf2. I still have that PCGamer layin in my room at home somewhere, and i saved it specifically becasue of that.

[smurph]

BTW I cut off the top part because its the Group Photo we've all seen.

Just scanned this. I thought some of you out there may want to keep this for old times sake. PDF- right click and save target as. Or just click and wait for it to load in your browser. (http://www.tfc247.com/pdfs/tf2article.pdf)

I hate tf2 already. I won't rest until better models are discovered for it.
