Set Hidden Frogs on Fire in Team Fortress 2: Prop Hunt

2Tired of 2Fort? Bored with Badwater? Is Dustbowl Dullbowl? Why not try the hide-and-go-seek "Prop Hunt" mod for Team Fortress 2, which has Pyros hunting down parts of the scenery that might be the other team in disguise?


I've actually played this mod before, completely by accident. The above video shows that the mod itself A.) is totally silly, B.) is a good deal of fun, and C.) works really well in conjunction with the music from Banjo-Kazooie. As described in the thread on the Steam forums [http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=926622], this mod pits BLU as Pyros against RED ... disguised as random props.

Some RED players get to be cows. Others get to be office chairs, or stacks of tires. Still others get to be... little remote controlled frogs or something, I don't know. The objective for the hiders is to blend in with the surroundings and survive for two minutes. The objective for the seekers is to set everything on fire. It's actually quite a bit of fun, and as the video shows, leads to some rather ridiculous scenarios (we agree with ShackNews [http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/60778] - 4:25 is the best part of the video).

I know what I'm playing more of this weekend!

The Banjo-Kazooie music made the video even better.

The mod is cool, but I don't have TF2 anymore. >_>

We've actually got plans for this concerning next Wednesday. Keep tabs on the TF2 User Group [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/The-Escapist-Team-Fortress-2-Group-PC] for details.

Also, join the steam group [http://steamcommunity.com/groups/EscapistTF2] for actual event reminders and announcements.

Red Chair's epic win at 2:50 was amazing.

 

[Jamous]

Wow. Looks freaking awesome.

 

[Gunner_Guardian]

I saw this video earlier.

Prop hunts are always fun. I also thought the "GET HIM HE'S A FROG" part was the funniest

 

[HardRockSamurai]

Oh my...I simply HAVE to try this out. Thanks for sharing it!

 

[QuirkyTambourine]

Oh my god that was the funniest ten minutes of my day.

I really must have TF2 on my computer. NOW.

I've played this. it's pretty fun, but sometimes the props can get into places Pyros can't reach. m And some of he maps are terrible.


But nothing is really more hilarious than a pile of wood screaming "FIRE! FIRE!" and jumping around in a desperate attempt to escape the Pyros.

 

[TheNumber1Zero]

It's truly weird when coupled with the song Akatsuki

Looks pretty cool, you Team Fortress guys are gonna have some fun.

 

[sgtshock]

Oh god, I loved this mode in CS:S. Looks even better in TF2.

 

[Lukeje]

You haven't lived till you've seen a bunch of pyros chase a control point round a map...

 

[sheic99]

I've played the CSS version of this. Man was that some good times. I am definitely going to have to try this one out.

 

[uppitycracker]

nooo, yer just ensuring the servers are always full posting it here!! nooooo! i wish they'd release the mod to the public already.

 

[Teh_Doomage]

That looks like epic fun...now if there was only room in the servers for me to get in on the fun.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

That is hilarious. I need to find a server with this on it.

 

[Aqualung]

I've been trying to play this all day and haven't been able to find any empty servers. :[

Ladies and Gents, in 6 days (that's next Wednesday) the Escapist TF2 group has a PropHunt server all to ourselves, keep an eye on the groups that Danny posted above, details should be up in the next day or so, and I'll post a password to the same group (and on the Steam group) as soon as I get the go ahead.

Look forward to seeing you there!

 

[Kuchinawa212]

*laughs* that looks really fun I gotta try that some time XD

 

[Somethingfake]

That whole video was hilarious! For me though, rewatching it, the control point suddenly running past going "waaough!" cracks me up. It's so bloody surreal XD
