Team Fortress 2 (Trailers)
11-04-2007, 03:38 PM
Okay. I just have to add a plug for the OTHER fun game in the Orange box that isn't Half-Life 2.
Team Fortress 2.
This game is hellaciously fun, incredibly well balanced and sometimes very -very- funny.
Art style makes the world look like you're in the world of The Incredibles. All I can think of when trying to describe the concept and reason for the two groups fighting is that you have two supervillain minion teams going at it hammer and tongs. ^_^
Especially when they give you cool intros to the characters like the following -
Team Fortress 2 Teaser trailer
Watch this gameplay trailer for an overall idea of the various character types weaknesses and strengths.
In addition to which, there are 4 (so far) individual character intros that I have found that are laugh out loud funny!
The Heavy - Big Heavy Russian (Austrian?) Dude. "People think they can outsmart me. Maybe. Maybe. Yet to see one can outsmart BULLET. HAHAHA!! Cry some more!"
The Soldier Doing his best Patton impersonation.
The Demoman One-eyed Black Scotsman - "Och laddie they'll have to glue you back together noo! IN HELL!!"
And my personal FAVORITE of the ones that have come out so far -
The Engineer Soft spoken Texan with a penchant for low key humor.
"I solve practical problems."
"The answer: Use a gun. And if that don't work, use more gun." (pause)(smile)...(BOOM) "AAAH!! My arm!"
Extra special credit goes to that last one for LIBERAL use of "The Wilhelm Scream" (or something that sounds VERY much like it. ^_^)

I cant wait till they get to "Meet the Pyro"
If you haven't plaid the game, the guy who runs around with a flamethrower wears a gas-mask and all his voice emotes are comically muffled.
So they will either have to have him take off his mask, or more likely do the whole thing with it on, which would be hilarious.
This comes close:

I'm waiting for the Medic and the Spy, myself, but I laughed mightily at the Demoman.
"I've got to make it. I'm a Black, Scottish Cyclops; they've got more than they do o' me!"
Steam also has the Heavy Weapons guy done in Russian, which is slightly different and entertaining just for the novelty.

Having gone and read up on Wikipedia...
I am unspeakably disappointed to find out that The Spy does not sound British.
