Team Fortress 2, Now Free!

by Bloard Featured 31 Comments 35 Votes 1283 Views 24/06/2011 Back to News

Valve today revealed that the highly acclaimed Team Fortress 2 is now available for free. Forever.

Thanks to the power of microtransactions, you can now play the popular shooter without even opening your wallet.

Valve’s Robin Walker has told Develop that Team Fortress 2 won’t fund its continuing development with advertising or subscription fees. Rather, current items -- such as clothes, weapons etc. -- will remain attached to a fee, with profits shared among community members that create TF2 content.

Have you played Team Fortress 2? If you haven't, now is as good a time as ever.

I played it once over a free weekend, I failed at it epically. But since it's more free than that weekend now, I might have to try it again.

1) I said that I don't like FPS purely because the majority of them are realistic and about World War II or something. I don't like realistic in my FPS's. This looks more cartoony and suits me better.
2) It's free. I'd be willing to give almost any game a go if it was free. :P

Yeah I know, it will be a sad day.
It is seriously my favorite non drama (Lost, the Sopranos, Dexter) tv show of all time.
Michael, Dwight, Stanley, Andy, Kevin and Creed are all just hilarious.
