Team Fortress 2 available on Mac Steam tomorrow

by JC Fletcher on Jun 9th 2010 6:20PM

The Team Fortress 2 blog has revealed the impending arrival of one of Valve's biggest games to the Mac platform. Tomorrow, Mac-owning gamers will be able to join the Team Fortress 2 ... team.

Well, Valve didn't even confirm that it is Team Fortress 2 that is being released tomorrow. Sure, it was on the Team Fortress 2 blog, and the post was topped by the above image of Team Fortress 2 characters, but really it could be any game whose title rhymes with "Speem Gortress."

Per the Steam store, TF2 will be offered as a stand-alone title for $19.99. If you've already purchased the PC or Mac version of The Orange Box, it will be made available as a free download.

Damn scoot stop staring at me.

ENEMY TEAM IS BABIES

I'm soooooooooo happy :D

'Cause today I found my Steam friends, I shot them in the head...

Heavy's are so ugly, but that's ok 'cause so are scouts

as a mac user, and avid console player, im bad with the "wasd" controls, but id be tempted to try this at a smaller price point

You should TF2 is an awesome game

and once you get used to a mouse and keyboard you will wonder how you ever played an FPS without them :)

Well, you should have picked up the Orange Box, which was $20.99 the week HL2 hit Mac.

Orange Box includes all 3 HL2 games, TF2, and (probably unnecessary now due to the free two weeks) Portal.

Having said that, all the Orange Box games put out for Mac so far have been on sale the week they come out: Portal for free, and HL2 series for 30% off.

thanks guys. i do have portal, and i didnt get orange box because the engine or something about HL2 gives me motion sickness. i tried playing it on xbox and its the only game to ever make me queasy. i will think about it.

Motion sickness in games is caused by the Field of View setting most of the time. The PC version lets you adjust it from 75 and 90 degrees. Just increase it in the options and that should stop the sickness.

thanks for the tip Dives. so i would want to put it at 90?

Smaller price point? Your wish is my command!

So, impending free weekend and $2 sale?

it seems like the general trend is 30% off when Mac versions are released

valve had said that the $2 sale would be the last ever tf2 sale

Yes, because a company can never go back on what they say. Especially Valve!

So, does this grant access to all the mods and new maps, too? Will Mac users be able to make their own maps?

Isn't Apple and Steve Jobbs concerned of the profanity that is multiplayer gaming? I don't think hardcore Mac users are mentally capable to withstand the bad language that is found in the chat in any multiplayer game.

Are you trying to make a joke, be serious, or start a flame war? In any case I think you failed on all three fronts.

I think you're thinking about Nintendo...

$20? I'll pass. Didn't think it was that great when I played it a while back, but glad to see we get an online game. Now give us CSS!

The Orange Box is $30. Which nets you TF2, Portal 1, and Half-Life 2 (with both expisodes). Still a superior deal.

@BPMOmega:
But if you were smart, you would have gotten Orange Box last week when it was $20.99 for the HL2 sale.

I already have HL2, all the episodes, Portal and CSS. Got them before the Orange Box came out.

I'm 85% sure they'll do a sale on TF2 tomorrow. Patience.

The amount of hours I've poured into this game since the Orange Box has released, though... (266.3 hours). It's easily the most hours I've put into any game ever. It's incredible how much a deal this game is. For me I'd say this game is worth $60 in and of itself.

Of course, I've gotten to experience the game as it grew. You're coming in on the tail end of it.

@Dustin

Seeing as how Episode 2 and Portal were both released with Orange Box, I'm going to go ahead and call bullshit

O Happy Days!!!!!

So does this mean massive Joystiq event? All of us getting together and playing some TF2 to celebrate its release on Mac? Just saying.....sounds like a good idea....

Join the joystiq steam group and track some folks down! I play almost every night anyway.

What is the joystiq team?

http://steamcommunity.com/groups/Joystiq
Here you go, that wasn't so hard to find, was it?
Searching Joystiq under groups...

Has it been available for pre-load or beta or something, or just as a placeholder? It's been on my games list for over a week, but Ij ust never got around to trying to install it.

That's quite a suppository, doc.

I'm excited. My friend gifted me the Orange Box when it was 30% off

...if only I didn't have finals next week

Uh joystiq... are you sure it will be $20 tomorrow?

as someone who has been following the steam store in regards to mac for a while I'm almost certain it will be 30% off that price

50% off now!

Apple has created a pime taradox.

They traveled back in time to the 1950s to give TF Industries free iPods, forever changing the face of portable meda in the future.... err... present.

Damn you, Apple. Damn you to Hell!

Vince offer?

What's up with all the Rhyme joke?

Man furismo Jive?

looking forward to sniping some hipsters. Thanks for standin still, wanker! ( just discovered the awesomeness that is the sniper, just need the patience to make most shots count)

Oh you. Assuming that mac users won't make you their bitch.

well i've got a good three and a half year lead

Not necessarily if they've been playing on Boot Camp or Parallels or somethin.

What happened to releasing games on Wednesdays? I don't think anything of consequence was released at all last week, and now we don't get anything until . . . Thursday? :|

Valve delayed it a day because...

...

...

...well, how much do you want to bet tomorrow is Day 1 of the Engineer Update?

It costs $400,000 to fire this weapon, for twelve seconds.
