Looking back, the signs were there. The doves lining the webpage before it was redesigned. Steam supporting F2P MMO titles. Team Fortress 2 itself being free-to-play the entire week. (And maybe an interview with Robin Walker by Develop.) But now, it’s official: Team Fortress 2 is completely free-to-play!
This reveal came along with the official release of Meet the Medic, the latest in the Meet the Class videos. And I’m probably not the only one in saying that it’s the best one yet. It’s got humor. It’s got action. It’s got exploding hearts and talking Spy heads. And, of course, it has the confirmation of TF2 being F2P.
Check out the video below for all the delicious, free, medicy goodness.
Update: Valve has updated the website with more details surrounding TF2 going free to play. Check it out here.
Can I get a woot? WOOT! I just downloaded my copy! /happymandie
Happy to see this game has gone free. I've owned it since day one being a fan of the original mod.
I don't much care for players being able to purchase items to give them an edge in the matches though, that seems cheap.
