Yep, just as we predicted in yesterday’s post, going off nothing but the Team Fortress 2 blog’s not-so-cryptic post, Team Fortress 2 hit Steam clients on Macs everywhere today, around 4:30PM EST.
For anybody who has purchased it in the past for Windows, or has purchased The Orange Box for PC, this will be available for you as a free download, just as with any other cross-platform Steam games. If you have yet to pick up this wonderful game, you should do so now. There’s a 50% off promotion going on, making Team Fortress 2 only $10, of which it is worth every penny and much, much more.
And hell, if you just want to check it out without spending a dime, hop on it. Now. TF2 is having a free weekend for both Mac and PC, making it freely available for anybody at all to play until… Well, Monday, I presume.
As an added bonus, anybody who logs on from a Mac by Monday get a free pair of in-game headphones that look suspiciously like Apple’s headphones that come with iPods. You could think of it as a neat little gift for your character, or you could think of it as a way to separate yourself from the heathens of the PC world. (Or, alternatively, the PC players can view it as a reason to make you a prime target. Wear with caution.)
As an ADDED added bonus, there’s also now a training mode, to allow you to make yourself familiar with the game without making yourself look like a fool online. There’s also an offline practice mode that allows you to play with bots, which is a pretty awesome addition and can help you get in some artificial experience before hopping on the servers.
Regardless of your OS or situation at this point, this is definitely something to check out. There’s new stuff in store for both PC and Mac users alike, and it’s free to play until Monday.
Here’s to hoping we get Counter-Strike next week.
EDIT: Sorry for the delayed post. Pretty sure I published, but for some reason it had saved as a draft. A few days late on posting this, but it was all written the day of release.
