Team Fortress 2 preview

3DGN heeft een korte preview geschreven van Team Fortress 2. Dit spel lijkt bijna te mooi om waar te zijn... Check de preview voor de rest, en 3 screens van de game.

As cool as it would be to be a ninja (I suspect pretty much every gamer and their mother will use this class), the commander has to be the single most intriguing addition to the tried and true Team Fortress formula. The commander will be a character that can fly anywhere on the map and see anything he wishes, including the women troopers when they're in the shower. There's obviously more strategic use to this position than just that, and it involves coordinating attacks against the enemy by seeing what you're up against and figuring out ways to counter it. The commander could make or break an attack in the game, so it's important you pick someone more adept at the role than your cousin Billy Bob who's sure he can do it fine… The game will revolve around working as a team. Part of this will be achieved by having gamers wear the headsets that ship with the game so they can communicate with real time speech to teammates. In the game, the character's lips will move perfectly in sync with the speech… cool. I guess this means you can whisper stuff to snipers far away like, "I'm going to ram that rifle up your ass if you try and shoot me," all the while hoping they can read your lips. Everyone can hear your speech however, so if the enemy is closing in, it might be wise to whisper. You can also try shouting, "INCOMING!" to see if anyone dives to the ground.
