Team Fortress 2: out for Mac and Free-to-Play weekend
Yesterday was the big day: Valve released their highly successful classbased multiplayer game for Apple’s Mac. Ofcourse we are talking about Team Fortress 2, originally released back in 2007. I started playing it since April 2010 or something and I love it, let my 50+ hours on record vouch for that. Valve has ported the Source engine to OS X using OpenGL, and Portal, Half-Life 2 + episodes are already released & playable. CounterStrike: Source is still in beta and other new Valve games will be released simultaneously on Mac and PC. Read all about the Mac release here.
The developers also brought some new updates! Among them are the new menu layout, offline training modes and, if you play on a Mac before 14th, a free pair of earbuds (iPod style) to wear as a hat on your player. Cool thing with TF2 is that your ‘loadout’ (weapons, hats, achievements, items) are persistent and available on all servers that you play on. So, you can now immediately recognize ‘us’ Mac players by the white earbuds! Isn’t that neat?!
Segregration is a bitch! Oh well, these earbuds are still nice
Ofcourse I still prefer my Windows 7 desktop (with 20″ screen) over the MacBook for gaming, but it’s great to know that I can also play it at my notebook now. I’ll have to connect a USB mouse though, as playing a FPS online with the Trackpad is not cutting it. Well, I’m already replaying HL2 at the Mac – with the trackpad, and that goes surprisingly well!
Heh Niggus what is this TF2 stuff all about? I have never heard of it?
Shame on you! TF2 is my favorite online FPS and it has it’s own distinct art style, humor, classes, etc. Also if you’ve never really liked games like Battlefield 2 / Call of Duty, then you might love TF2. Infact, I do! You can try it out for FREE this weekend, and you can also purchase it with a 50% discount. Click here to get started!
TF2 (like other Valve games) comes with the Source SDK, which includes Hammer, the map editor. I’ll have a crack at that later. Anyway, happy TF2′ing. This game is awesome.
