Team Fortress 2 Message Board older than one year ago

A new league is starting up via ETF2L. A grand total of $2000 is up for grabs in the prize pool! More details on unlocks and format are available here. The league kicks off February 6, 2012.

It's official -- Notch, the creator of Minecraft and all-around Swedish dude, has made it big. In his most recent blog post, Notch describes his intense love for Valve's TF2 and then shows off the custom-made fancy hat that Valve made for his characters exclusively, called Top Notch. It's basically a cardboard box with square-ish pasties resembling Notch's Minecraft avatar worn over a character's entire head, and it's the sweetest gift we've seen in a long time.

Notch agrees, writing, "Hooooly cow. Thank you, Valve. You wouldn't believe the amount of medic I get now. Also, spies."

In the world of today yesterday's videos are old hat. Wishful thinkers have put an end to all that and launched Team Fortress TV! Dedicated to live streams of matches from Europe, Asia, and North America you'll never be caught talking about the past.

#teamfortress2 If you'd like a free insane costume for the Heavy in Team Fortress 2, you have about two days to pick it up. It also helps if you want Saints Row: The Third on PC, as that's what you have to preorder to grab it. More »

To be a generic character in Team Fortress 2 nowadays is a constant humiliation, we're sure. But if you're a Heavy kinda guy -- er, rather, you like to play as the Heavy in Team Fortress 2 -- then you may wish to know about the gear that sparkly chap above is rocking.

Valve's skills of synergy have culminated in a new Saints Row-themed Heavy outfit. If one were to, say, pre-order Saints Row: The Third on Steam, then, say, their Heavy could wear a diamond-encrusted Luchador mask and wield giant, diamond-encrusted boxing gloves in Team Fortress 2. Actually, that's exactly what Valve is saying. That's the deal. That's exactly how this works.

Oh, we forgot to mention the tasteful sweater vest, too. You know, in case all of those diamonds didn't properly convey the classiness of this ensemble.

In honor of the meticulously researched, true-to-life events dramatized in the educational video game Saints Row: The Third, we visited the library and came up with three equally historically accurate Heavy items for those of you who pre-order: a faithful recreation of the ceremonial dress of General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union Mikhail Gorbachev. Note the dedication to mirroring every historical detail, from Gorbachev's signature diamond-encrusted lucha libra mask to his cartoonishly oversized boxing gloves to the fleur-de-lis badge given to all former heavyweight champions, all of which Gorbachev famously wore to accept the Nobel Peace Prize in 1990.

First order of business: Some DAMNED WEBSITE is asking any no-nothing mope with a keyboard and an opinion the preposterously self-evident question of whether I can BEAT UP A DOCTOR IN A FIGHT. Let's stick to the facts: I have PERSONALLY MANSLAUGHTERED 1,593 physicians in various forms of unarmed and/or unwilling combat, and let me tell you, that statistic carries a lot of weight at the doctor's office. Let's just say a "Beaten to Death in the Head by Fists" can turn into a "Natural Causes" on a coroner's report PRETTY FAST when you're cracking the right knuckles at the right people.

If you've ever wondered why fanatical Valve devotees are so fanatically devoted, this is exactly why. The company's titles have an excellent sense of humor, sure, but its fun, intelligent stuff like this that endears the development studio to the hearts of gamers everywhere.

In celebration of everyone's favorite cosplay justification, Valve has released a free update for their free-to-play free-for-all Team Fortress 2, which promises an "ENORMOUS HAUNTED EYEBALL," as well as fresh 'chievos and costumes for each class. There's even a comic to provide a little backstory, which is worth checking out strictly for its artistic merit, even if TF2 isn't your jam.
