Team Fortress 2 knocked to $2.49 ... for the next two hours [update: it's over]
by Richard Mitchell 
{ Oct 29th 2009 at 3:35PM } 
Update: The sale is over. We hope you managed to grab TF2 -- for yourself or a friend -- while the getting was good.
Original: Actually, it's less than two hours now, so what are you waiting for? It's two dollars and fifty cents! It's usually twenty whole dollars. Go buy it. Now. Go!
If you grab it now (or if you already have it), you can enjoy the first annual Team Fortress Haunted Halloween Special, which will bring new haunted maps, exploding pumpkins and update-specific Steam Achievements. We'd write more, but that would only waste more time. Time you could spend buying Team Fortress 2.

If you don't already have this wonderful piece of MultiPlayer gaming, you'd be stupid NOT to pick it up!

I heart Valve.

My PC is a pile of shit so I don't PC game. That together with my inability to play any games, that aren't RTS games, with a mouse and keyboard.

I don't have a credit card T_T

HOLY CRAP!

Going to be playing TF2 all week just to get those limited items.
They'll have to pry my mouse / keyboard from my cold, dead hands.
Demerge @ Oct 29th 2009 3:51PM
Dibs on the keyboard

Question: Would it run on my netbook?
$2.50 is even cheaper in my country
Steam:Lennoko| Whats PC Gaming? @ Oct 29th 2009 3:41PM
Hate to say it, but i highly doubt it would run on a netbook, and if it did, it would be more of a Slideshow then game.
CaramelZappa @ Oct 29th 2009 3:45PM
You have to jump through a lot of hoops just to get it to run, and even then it's not really playable.
NitroMikeo @ Oct 29th 2009 3:47PM
WHO CARES, buy it and sell it to someone later or something.
giantenemycrab @ Oct 29th 2009 4:00PM
No, it wouldn't run on your netbook.
MRLN (The Comment God) @ Oct 29th 2009 4:01PM
Yes it will run on a netbook with ION.
Like, an HP Mini 311. Otherwise Intel GMA945 can't do shit.
asdfghjkloo @ Oct 29th 2009 4:46PM
I'm Zing, my country's economy doesn't suck, but I still can't afford a good computer!
nhcdrybones5 @ Oct 29th 2009 3:39PM
I went to the update when it first came out. The scout with the bag was on there. Now there is a heavy with the gibus top hat D:
I'm alerting my gaming friends to buy it now, and how they have 2 hours left to do so.
PR0F3TA (PSN - PROPHETA) @ Oct 29th 2009 3:40PM
considering how late Joystiq can be with the news sometimes, did this happen yesterday?
TexRob @ Oct 29th 2009 3:44PM
lol, not far off. This was posted 45mins ago, so only a little over an hour left at the point of me posting this.
MLWW @ Oct 29th 2009 3:41PM
goddammit I don't have enough money on my paypal transferred yet! it's supposed to come on my paypal account tomorrow :(
(Note, I don't have access to anything else except paypal on the list of payment options)
NaeemTHM @ Oct 29th 2009 5:00PM
Dude! No idea you were the same MLWW from PotD. Get your ass back there
*smack your bum*
Misanthropic Gamer @ Oct 29th 2009 3:41PM
Very smart. This is how to combat piracy.
MLWW @ Oct 29th 2009 3:42PM
Oh wait, I'm retarded, I can buy it without using paypal >_>

Don't insult the mentally challenged: you're just stupid.
Peter Moore [Planeteer | Power of Fucking Your Mother] @ Oct 29th 2009 3:49PM
Why did you use a colon there?
Jerk Face @ Oct 29th 2009 3:55PM
So now the Joystiq community downvotes people for not being an asshole?
Keep up the good fight, Jose.
MLWW @ Oct 29th 2009 3:59PM
lol
MLWW @ Oct 29th 2009 3:59PM
btw I didn't downvote him >_>
Jose [Steam & PSN: Assmar] @ Oct 29th 2009 4:05PM
The colon separated two related independent clauses, although Icould have used a semi-colon I guess. Both are correct. Have you ever taken an English class? No, seriously, are you foreign or something?
Kevin @ Oct 29th 2009 4:05PM
Censorship is not the correct way to deal with "offensive" words.
Jose [Steam & PSN: Assmar] @ Oct 29th 2009 4:11PM
Censorship is not, but being insulting works like half the time.
Draco @ Oct 29th 2009 4:15PM
Jose,
Why did you write "I could" as one word?
just messin'
Jose [Steam & PSN: Assmar] @ Oct 29th 2009 4:20PM
@Draco
Jerk... *sob*
Orion @ Oct 29th 2009 4:37PM
Retarded means slow. Go buy a fucking dictionary. I'm so sick of people being so fucking easily offended about everything you say. I'm sure he wasn't thinking of a mentally disabled person when he said it. He meant he was slow in the head for looking past an obvious roadblock to his plan.
Geez...
MLWW @ Oct 29th 2009 4:44PM
What Orion said is true.
eliottnicholson92 @ Oct 29th 2009 4:46PM
@Jose said "are you foreign or something?" So you are saying stop saying "Retard" but you are stereotyping / making fun of foreigners?
Jose - You sir are a fail... Go take your retard / tree hugging / dumb@ss back to retard-ville...
CaramelZappa @ Oct 29th 2009 3:42PM
Seriously, if you don't already own this game, you have no excuse now.
Uncontrol @ Oct 29th 2009 3:42PM
i have a mac
Peter Moore [Planeteer | Power of Fucking Your Mother] @ Oct 29th 2009 3:50PM
Boot Camp.
No Excuse.
CaramelZappa @ Oct 29th 2009 3:50PM
Parallels, boot camp.
Juan @ Oct 29th 2009 3:43PM
STALKER just finished downloading as I came across this... Umm... Steam, I love you.
Casey Vincent @ Oct 29th 2009 3:44PM
And if you want a great server to play on add No Hassle! 66.225.194.132:27015
We welcome everyone - as long as you arn't a jerk. For 2.50, hop on and play with some cool people!
Omega2k3 @ Oct 29th 2009 4:21PM
I hope 4chan invades your server.
MLWW @ Oct 29th 2009 3:45PM
You're retarded as well :D
Zing @ Oct 29th 2009 3:50PM
I think this show's who the real retard is, hey dont worry, the internet is hard, you'll get used to it one day. Practice champ :)
Ordeith @ Oct 29th 2009 4:03PM
"I think this show's who the real retard is"
@Zing:
Joystiq's Java programmer?
Tofu-Sama @ Oct 29th 2009 3:47PM
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY? I don't have $20 US, only $17 CAD on my account, so it won't let my buy it >.> NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Tofu-Sama @ Oct 29th 2009 3:51PM
PayPal now makes Tofu sad...
Kevin @ Oct 29th 2009 4:07PM
Not sure what the problem is. $17 > $2.49. Why can you buy it?
RogueJedi86 @ Oct 29th 2009 5:10PM
@Kevin
$17 Canadian does not > $2.49 US. He's saying he's Canadian and his currency doesn't work on Steam.
To quote Watto: "Republic credits are no good out here."
Tofu-Sama @ Oct 29th 2009 5:53PM
Wrong, it turned out I needed to have enough money on PayPal to authorize the full $20 US purchase, even though I'd only be charge $2.50. Dumb idea, that is.
