Waiting for a Team of Heroes
It appears that my pre-ordered copy of The Orange Box won’t be arriving until Wed. at the earliest. This is exceptionally unfortunate for me because of how much I’ve been looking forward to it. I was thinking earlier today how there’s never midnight releases for games that I’m honestly excited to get and would love to spend a couple extra hours with. But no, it hardy ever works out that way for me.
In case you’re reading this and cocking your head slightly wondering why I can’t just pre-load the game and at midnight launch it (or even play the beta for that matter). Well, that’s simple: there’s no way in hell I could run the game on my computer. So I have to settle for the next best (and most comfortable) thing, my Xbox 360. Hoping that I’m not alone in my lament I’ve collected a list of articles relating to Team Fortress 2 which are all good reads and will keep you busy when your hands aren’t doodling analogue sticks:
The Complete Go Team Fortress
Part 1: The Heavy.
Part 2: The Medic.
Part 3: The Demoman.
Part 4: The Pyro.
Part 5: The Sniper.
Part 6: The Engineer.
Part 7: The Soldier.
Part 8: The Scout.
Part 9: The Spy.The Rock, Paper, Shotgun Team Fortress 2 Interview
The Rock, Paper, Shotgun Team Fortress 2 Interview - Part 2
In case you didn’t notice, all this writing came from the exceptional (newish) website: Rock, Paper, Shotgun. I highly recommend the rest of the site as well, but this should keep you reading when you’d rather be killing tomorrow night.
geez-o-pete, a whole two more days!
i’m looking forward to this, though, after reading the rock, paper, shotgun features (which are marvelous). this is the first online shoot man game i’ll be buying for the xbox that isn’t off live arcade. i will probably end up being the doctor who chases your ass around while you leap blindly into danger. wouldn’t that be just typical.
Yeah, the medic, engineer and pyro seem to be calling me for some reason. I’ll probably mess around with all of the classes, but those seem like some excellent support classes and I’m much better in a support role.
Since a friend of mine owed me $50 or so in past lunches, I had him pick me up a copy of the PC version. I probably won’t get a chance to mess around with the game until the weekend, but I fully expect the engineer to appeal to me the most out of all the classes. Given how so many of my friends are split between the PC and 360 versions, I very well might end up buying both if TF2 proves to even be half of what I hoped it would be 7 years ago.
