» Team Fortress 2 To Get Unlockable Weapons

A new article on the Computer and Video Games web site reveals that Valve plans to put in unlockable weapons for each class in new versions of their multiplayer shooter Team Fortress 2. The new weapons features will be rolled into the game gradually beginning with the Medic class in future upgrades. In addition a new gameplay mode, currently unnamed, will be released as well. The mode is described thusly, "One team must escort a small mining cart through a series of Dustbowl-like map segments. The cart moves faster the more Blue players are near it, but stops entirely if even one Red player is in range. Blue have to escort the cart all the way to Red's headquarters within a certain timelimit."

Looks like they're trying to copy CoD4.

lmao. copy what? dumb on-rails shooting? spawn camping? COD4 isn't even in the same league as TF2.

You're right. CoD4 is way better.

News flash: CoD4 didn't invent a damn thing new to the genre.

Pfft, all you cyber-humanistic scum wanting to spend your cyberlives healing others. I prefer to be a parasite; sapping sentries and weakening teams within.

Cool!!

TF2 is so fun. I wonder how the new weapons will affect the game balance.

My thoughts exactly. I love TF2 and at the moment, it's the most balanced MP FPS you can get. now since they're going to add unlockable weapons (a la BF2) It can be hurtful in the long run for the newbies and it may be unfair in general. I seriously hope they don't try to cram too many new features at once, otherwise they may very well end up messing up the existing good ones. *fingers crossed*
