looks frickin awesome - I LOOOOVE this shit! now that is some seriousl nice art direction, the look is so appealing and they even use the cartoon look on animations...

only thing that bothers me: the minigun muzzle flash doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the fx

If Valve did with TF2 what they were originally talking about we'd have a BF2 ripoff.
I'm so happy with the direction they went. awesome.

Looks fantastic. I'd much rather see stylized art as opposed to the quest for photo-realistic. However, THE GAME PLAY LOOKS EXACTLY THE SAME! Arrrrghhhh. We got TFC in a new dress on Source. Don't get me wrong, TFC is great, we just already have TFC. Atleast there is Portal....

Here's another video for PORTAL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgPIGCmLjbA

Nice Valve, now show me conc jumping. Thx :)

I'd like to see someone create a 2fort_extended where you can go to all those exciting rooms that you can see behind the glass in the trailer.

Looks great. Seen the new Ep2 trailer though? Looks pretty sweet, although, note to Valve: I'm SICK of fighting gunships, helicopters and striders in the same old ways. The strider buster sounds interesting, but we REALLY need a new play dynamic here. If I ever have to do the same exact rocket thing again, I'll scream: and gunships are basically exactly like more mobile striders. The heli is interesting, but again, we need more gameplay dynamics here. How about striders and foes that actually run away and get repaired when they are hurting? How about they get more interesting defenses (like an energy sheild akin to the ones in the citadel?) that we have to figure out how to get around or temporarily disable with something?

And how about some REAL new weapons that are actually creative on the level of the physics gun? The black hole effect included but not used in Ep1 comes to mind. Or adding the SLAMs to the game. Or a gun that truly feels meaty, like the OICW from the trailers?

Or how about a gun that sprays oil that you can light on fire with gunfire so as to set traps (not a flame thrower, that's too conventional)? Anything. The possibilities for fun stuff are limitless. Shotguns are... boring.

From the trailer: Man. Could the scout be any cooler?

ROCKET JUMP! WHEEEEEEEE!

I thought it looked cool. Though I was never into TFC and was kinda excited about the realism direction Valve was originally going for. I guess this looks fun and if its free I cant complain. Though one thing that bothered me was the muzzle flash on the minigun. It was all cartoony....I guess it matches the atmosphere but something didn't look right to me. Hmm

when are we gonna be treated to this new trailer?
