"TF2 Arena keeps the class diversity of Team Fortress 2 while focusing goals around combat between two teams. Where other game modes lean towards a broad overall strategy for the team over a number of lives, Arena concentrates on the specific tactical choices the teams make in a single fight.

Arena features smaller maps that play out in shorter periods of time. The round ends once one team has no players left in the arena, or when the central capture point has unlocked and been captured. Ro..."

"Do you ever get jealous at the amount of free updates Valve delivers for “Team Fortress 2″ on the PC? You might be a console gamer.

Few people would blame you. “Team Fortress 2″ has yet to receive a content update — free or otherwise — from Valve. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t thinking about it.

In response to the recent reveal of new maps, modes and character tweaks for “Team Fortress 2,” I asked the studio if console owners could look forward to this, as well."

"Valve has just released new details on their latest update to Team Fortress 2. The new update will be "the largest update to Team Fortress 2 since it was first released as part of The Orange Box last October." Gamers can expect to see new unlocable weapons, achievements, a brad new gameplay mode and some new maps. The new update will be available next Tuesday, August 19th."

Ton Khodee, aka TiTON has conjured up some extremely comprehensive case mods to celebrate Team Fortress 2, Iron Man, and some other games, of which the mods are currently in the works.

For all the detail, it's almost more impressive he got at least the Iron Man one done in just three weeks!

Check out the site for some posts on the construction of each - fascinating stuff if you're into it.

"Next time you're on a multiplayer server, you might want to ask everyone who's a Canadian, and then ask who among them are dudes. Because according to a Microsoft survey, every fifth one of them (in the long run) has gamed in the nude, and might be doing so now.

Microsoft commissioned a pretty serious poll up in the Great White North, asking Canadians all sorts of questions that sound like a Cosmo bedside astrologer survey, if "game" is used as a euphemism for "sex." Do you game at work? (..."

"I’m sure a lot of us have our hands full helping out Niko with all his unlawful missions, but who can pass up a free game? All this weekend, Valve is giving out Team Fortress 2 to anyone who wants to try it out. Did I mention it’s free? And it’s not only the basic TF2 experience, either. You’re getting the whole enchilada with this offer.

It comes complete with the latest TF2 add ons such as the Gold Rush map and achievements for the Medic. Of course those achievements will also unlock a n..."

On another tab is 'achievements' which give in percentage how many users have obtained it. The top obtained achievement is Hard to Kill (Get five kills in a row without dying.) @ 62.4% and the hardest achievement being With ...

"After playing four maps and testing out all nine classes in Team Fortress 2, it seems this game should be another of this year's entertaining arena shooters. It comes as part of the Orange and Black Box packages, which both contain Half-Life 2: Episode 2 and the first-person puzzler Portal. Like any team shooter hoping for longevity in the online space, the game needs an emphasis on teamwork. Valve seems to be on the right track in this department, with many of the classes complementing each ..."
