The game sports six different character classes, a create-a-class feature and two gameplay modes, the co-operative Blitz mode and the competitive Crossfire mode. This one really came out of nowhere, but if it's anywhere near as good as the trailer makes it out to be, we could be in for a real treat. Expect it to arrive later this year.

That entire time I thought that girl was going to be a class. Now she's just a stripper.
Also, will people EVER come up with some new classes?

Meh.
They should've just used the time and effort to do a Smash TV sequel.

You have got to be kidding me, it's a total rip-off of Team Fortress 2.

Talking about Team Fortress 2 and XBLA have Valve ever hinted at a possible XBLA release for the game?

Why? You can get it for 20 bucks along with a shit ton of other good games in one box. Besides, I'm pretty sure TF2 would be too big for an XBLA game.

They have blatantly copied Smash TV. On their website it says BIG MONEY! BIG PRIZES! Isn't that exact same slogan used in Smash TV?

If by blatantly copying Smash TV you mean its set in an arena, then yes it is. Other than that, Smash TV is an outdated piece of shit. But why is everybody up in arms about this? Team Fortress 2 is fun and all but as Yahtzee puts it:
"You get to decide between territory control in a desert environment, territory control in an industrial environment, or just to mix things up capture the flag in a desert industrial environment."
At least with Monday Night Combat you get a similar gameplay style with a different map. And I would also say that it looks like a combination of Team Fortress 2 and Unreal Tournament which isn't such a bad thing.

They released Portal by itself with some addition content, just thought that releasing Team Fortress 2 with all the updates could happen. It would be a good way to revitalise the community and considering MS will most likely make Valve charge for the content updates on 360 Valve could release an XBLA version of TF2 w/updates to make the price worth it.

Portal has a lot less in the way of art assets than TF2 does, so it's much easier to Arcade-icize it.

Or you could just play it on PC. 360 will never be updated at this rate. Stop carrying, it'll make you feel better.

Lol, It looks like somebody took Global Agenda, TF2, and a little known arcade shooter called The Grid and smashed them all together.
