Team Fortress 2 beta!!!!!

[st0lve]

Do you have to buy the orange box? or is it possible to buy tf2 alone?

[Psy]

You have to buy the orange box at the moment. They will release each game separately at a later point.

Who's up for recreating cross the border? That was one of my fav maps from quakeworld TF.

I don't know how you would go about it coding-wise.

[Mazy]

Deeeeecrypting steeeeam fiiiiles!

[Zacker]

Anyone who knows what the "Expanded HDR" option in TF2 covers?

[skdr]

It works!

It's beautiful!

Oh man, stuck here at work for the next eight hours.

Looks amazing, and theres so many details when you look up close, yet it still has a really cool simplistic cartoony look. Brilliant.

Also I checked out the first commentary, really good stuff. The addition of being able to skip to the next node makes it so much easier to use, instead of forcing you to find them.

Too bad that we cant play outside the building here, stupid firewall. Had a 1on1 tho

Oh and the papers flying from the people who has the briefcase = brilliant! Both cool looking and practical for the gameplay.

Hrm looks *ok* I prefer the look of fortress forever. The hud itself makes me want to rip my eyes out. (yeah I am not a big fan of cartoony stuff in games).

[Hipshot]

Looks awful. Don't like the cartonish graphics, not at all.

[Pericolos0]

look goddamn awesome from that screen, but the chrome-water looks weird though.

[Zyn]

Phew, just purchased The Orange Box and downloading TF2

Kind of weirds me out that some people are so opposed to stylised cartoon graphics in games (although I'd say this is more designed to resemble a CGI movie than a cartoon). I mean, there're a million games out there that do the grittier look and do it well.

I have to agree that the water looks weird there, though. I could have sworn it looked different in earlier promotional material. Maybe it looks less weird in motion.

[Mazy]

Aye, the water does tend to look a bit too "chromish" from certain angles. Looks good when you look at it top down though.
