Team Fortress 2! Yay, It's free!

May 03, 2008 in News comments 5

You heard it right. Team Fortress 2 is free. Well, at least it's free until the 4th. That's right, time is running out, so go there and get it for free!
Keep in mind that the game comes with all the extra content such as the Gold Rush map as well. ;)

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 new slew of weapons for the Medic.

This giveaway from Steam is definitely a great way to get newcomers a taste of what they’ve been missing in TF2. It’s for this weekend only (ends Sunday May 4th at 1:00PM PDT) so if you’re going to get in on the action, do it now. Don’t worry, Niko will be there when you get back.

    They did more of these in the past, it'll be nice if they bring the free weekends back though as many gamers are reluctant to put down the money for the game when it could be hit or miss to their tastes.

    I noticed a lot of new players making use of the freebie, it's been nice seeing a whole slew of new faces across the servers even if I've been locked out of some of my favorites.

    I thought it was a real giveaway. Two days for free isn't much. But it's good for everyone that wants to try for free and then decide if they want to buy it or not. I tried it and didn't like it much. Glad I didn't spend money on it.

    I did get two friends to try it out, and they said they'd buy it...but then again, that can take them forever, heh. Can't wait for the Medic additions, then I'll hop back into it.

      The medic achievements are already running in the game code now, if you check your game you'll notice the UI changes are there so you can customize what your medic has when you go in game. (After you've unlocked the new weapons)
