Is Team Fortress 2 Coming to Mac Today?

Is Team Fortress 2 Coming to Mac Today?

Valve is trying to tell us something about Team Fortress 2, something involving tree fruit.

Aside from making games and running Steam, Valve is a master at keeping secrets. For example, take the following post on the Team Fortress 2 official blog [http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=3923&p=1]: "Big things are happening RIGHT NOW at Valve. Things involving cultivated tree-fruit. BIG things. Things that rhyme with "grapple." Things that rhyme with "Speem Gortress zmavailable on the Babac."

Obviously, there may have been a teensy bit of sarcasm there, but the post seems to suggest - if I am decoding it correctly - that Team Fortress 2 [http://store.steampowered.com/app/440/] will soon be available on the Mac. The post, which went up yesterday, promises big things today, but whether that means that TF2 will actually be available on the Mac today, or we're just going to hear about when it's coming, isn't currently clear.

"Speem Gortress zmavailable on the Babac."
That made me laugh.
OT: Awesome

I guess some things are more important than, you know, releasing the batches of updates the Xbox 360 version is missing.

Blame Microsoft, who won't let Valve distribute the updates for free.

 

[DazZ.]

Dare I get my hopes up for an engie update as well?

 

[Random Argument Man]

Spoiler: Happy RAM!!!! I'll finally be able to kill all the guys who said (mac sucks) with a headshot.

Ninja'd. Microsoft are being dicks.[/surprise]

They're gonna be all released in a bundle for a small price, I heard, though it's unlikely Microsoft will let it go for under 1000 points. :/

Finally, something other than Sam and Max for me to play. @_@

Now the real question is:

WILL IT BE CROSS-PLATFORM COMPATIBLE!?!?

I know nothing of these fruit-filled machines disguised as laptops, so I have no idea if we will soon be able to carry out the Mac vs. PC war in a much more literal fashion soon...

(You just KNOW Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are whipping up an underground TF2 tournament with some magical doohickey as the prize.)

Hear you can see the original "press-release" on the offical side, that the article forgot to link
They also have the image in high quality

Valve sure knows how to send out a press release.

 

[HK_01]

Great! That means it'll be reduced in price!

If Killing Floor can do it, considering its origins, Team Fortress 2 will be able to do it.

I can't figure out what he's trying to say, either. This is one tough code to crack...

Hope they make some blockage so that people without 2nd mouse button can't log in on the same server as normal people? So we don't have snipers who can't snipe, heavies who are inferior in ambushing, medics without ubercharge, scouts without the ability to stun people with bats... okay, bad example, but demomen without the remote nades?

 

[Explosm]

I might just hate macs but.....

No im going no-where with that. Mac's annoy me and i bet its annoying steam to configure these to run on Mac's.... when they could be making episode 3?

 

[Deofuta]

Wait a moment...are you trying to tell me that Speem Gortress zmavailable on the Babac!???!!?

I need to go tell my friend, he bought a Babac Ro, the silly tyke!
