About freaken time!!! For all of you people that have played original Half Life and the original mod called “Team Fortress Classic” or how we lovingly called it TFC. Finally, a remake of this game for Half Life 2: Source will be released sometime this month in September. If you never played this game or never heard of it…well, crawl back under the rock where you came from. Everybody else that been waiting for TF2 to come out for the last almost 10 years, this is like a dream come true. Because of TFC and its popularity with players Counter Strike exists now or DOD or even Half Life series. If it wasn’t for TFC players, Valve would’ve gone out of business by now and never released Half Life 2 or came up with Steam software distribution system for all of their games.
The following was posted on http://www.fortress-forever.com/ forums today:
These next few months are going to be great for TF fans and halflife2 gamers alike. It is with great pleasure that we announce Fortress Forever will be released this September, and of course it will be free to all halflife 2 owners :). The game will release with 10 core maps featuring 6 different game modes centering around capture the flag, and capture and defend gameplay. Spread the word and get ready for action!
Fortress Forever expands on the classic team fortress action as well as introducing elements to improve accessibility for players new to the genre. If you ever find yourself antsy waiting to get back into the action in other multiplayer games, then this is the game for you. It's not all instant gratification though; within the game there are classes to suit every player's style, be it stealth, finesse with movement, precision aim, the joy of weilding a ridiculous amount of explosives, or simply brute force :P. Even within these classes (9 in total) you can go about developing your own playstyle.
We hope to get out some simple no frills gameplay clips in the upcoming days to show the kind of experience players can expect the first time they fire up the game, but there is no real substitute for experiencing it firsthand. We hope to see you in the server on release day.
Another reminder to those who plan to host servers on release: Send an email to
This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
with your server or mirror information. If you already sent your info we still have it on file, so no need to resend; thanks!
Also we are still looking for a programmer and character modeller/texture artist for post release enhancement and support. If you have any other talent you'd like to lend, we will be interested so let us know.
On a final note: Thanks to the halflife2 community for all the support (and criticism) during development. We've listened carefully to feedback around the general community, and are confident that it has helped shape the first release for the better, and will continue to help shape the game through its lifetime.
Cheers,
-The FF team
I’m actually jumping for joy right now. I probably will be packing most of my games and putting them into storage, muhahaha….
