Team Fortress 2 Update

24 Mar, 2007, 3:00 pm IST | Avinash Bali |

Thanks to a post made on Steam forums (who got the info from a German magazine) we get word of a slight update on Valve's much awaited cel shaded MP based Team Fortress 2.

There won't be "normal" grenades anymore. Valve thinks that they unify the different classes too much.
Unlike in Fortress Forever, teleporters are kept in Team Fortress 2. The ammo dispenser will make a comeback as well.
There will be a personalized statistics system. For example, you could see an in-game message like "Hey, you've never played your class as well as today - keep it up!"
Valve thinks that classes in other games are a joke. "Where's the difference between me choosing a M16 or an AK-47 rifle?", asks Robin Walker.
It would be technically feasible to let owners of a PC, XBOX 360 and PS3 play against each other. Whether this feature makes it into the final game is still uncertain and depends on Sony and Microsoft.

Valve received very few threatening letters because of TF2's comic design.
Owners of multicore processors will get additional, undisclosed, graphics details.
There will be completely new maps for the game mode "Territorial Control". It will be randomly decided which area of a map is supposed to be conquered and the team in possession of that area will assume the role of defenders.
There will be trains rolling through the map Well, which should be avoided by players.
Capture The Flag becomes Capture The Documents. Instead of capturing a flag, you'll have to capture a briefcase from the opponent's base.

Now if they would only release this soon...

It's quite short and it doesn't have any sort of versus multiplayer but The Darkness II is a polished and brutal shooter you should definitely check out, especially if you like ripping dudes to shreds.
