Suitable response. *giggles like a little schoolgirl*Neverhoodian said:I believe this is appropriate:
That is pehaps the best "Meet the Team" short yet. Now all that's left is to wait for the game to update.
Also, free to play = lots of newcomers for me to backstab. Sounds good to me.
So, I am a free account then...?Midnight Crossroads said:That video pretty much made my day. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.

Premium accounts, which include anyone who has bought items off Mann Co and original purchasers, get an expanded backpack (300-1000 items from 50), access to rare item drops, full blue-prints, and full access to trades. Free accounts basically just get a stripped down version of what everyone has had so far.

TF2′s switch to F2P was rumored and expected, but perhaps not this soon. Walker says that Valve had been exploring the idea since September 2010. ?We?ve been toying with the idea of making Team Fortress free-to-play ever since the Mann-conomy update,? Walker said. ?The data we got back from that update leads us to believe that TF2 would be more successful as a completely free product.? Read the rest of the interview with Walker at Develop-Online.
Prior to today, Team Fortress 2 was in the middle of a ?free week.? The game?s Über Update should deploy later this evening.
What have you done Valve?! WHAT HAVE YOU DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE!?
