Apparently Valve is going to let anyone with a Steam account download and play Team Fortress 2. I've got the box lying around here to check system specs, and if anyone wants to join me, just let me know and I'll try to help get people set up on a server.

EDIT: Here are the requirements.

MINIMUM
1.7 GHz Processor
512 RAM
DirectX 8 Level Graphics Card
Windows Vista/XP/2000
Mouse
Keyboard
Internet Connection
DVD-ROM Drive

RECOMMENDED
Pentium 4 Processor (3.0 GHz or better)
1GB RAM
DirectX 9 Level Graphics Card

The only hardware thing my laptop may have trouble with is the processor, as I'm runnin 2.13 GHz, but it's also a dual-core. My internet's been a bit buggy here, but I also haven't been able to play TF since we got it reconfigured.

EDIT: If you have a StemID, and are planning on playing this weekend, post it so that we can find each other. I'll compile them all in this first post for easy access.

For free?

Yup. However, it's only for this weekend. Afterwards I think you'll have to have a CD key or Steam authorization to continue playing.

Hey guys (at least Xera). Remember to post IDs.

Also, the Pyro pack is pretty fun, and the achievements aren't impossible like the Medic pack was.

What new content does the Pyro pack add?

Pyro-oriented achievements, three of which are milestones that unlock different weapons. They also added a secondary fire to the standard flamethrower: the Compression Blast. It's basically a blast of compressed air that reflects explosives and personnel.

This has the new weapon breakdown, as well as the achievements.

My Prayers have been answered!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(27 exclamation points)
Hot Damn. I love Nintendo and hate PC shooters, but Team Fortress is too full of Win.
Tell me when they hand out Portal on a silver platter.
*people at Nintendo staring at the ground in shame*

Edit: Those bastards messed up my sprite! scream
Allright. Just eight more hours now.
Allright, guys. Tell me what class I want. In Battlefront 2, I'd choose a Technician because they could kill people in a second around corners with their shotgun, got bonus points for shanking vehicle users, and could help others and themselves survive with their extra supplies.
Would I enjoy using a spy?
Oh, and if somebody needs a sniper, call on me. I did that too.

Apparently Valve has given Portal away free for users with nVidia cards. They showed that sometime last week.

Anywho, here are some key points on the classes:

Attack Classes
Scout: fast, can double jump, and takes CPs as if he were two players.
Soldier: Slower than average, but has extra hit points, and can rocket jump by shooting at his own feet. Did I mention he uses a rocket launcher?
Pyro: His flamethrower sets all non-friendlies (including cloaked/disguised spies, excluding pyros) on fire, causing more damage over time.

Defense Classes
Demoman: Aside from being hilariously Scottish, his first weapon is basically a grenade launcher with bouncing grenades, and his second weapon shoots pipe bombs that stick to surfaces, then detonate remotely using right click. This also lets him access high places.
Heavy: REALLY SLOW, but REALLY HIGH HP. His minigun takes a second to get to speed, but it's very powerful at short to medium range. Using right click, you can keep the moving so you do not have to heat up your gun -- he'll be even slower, though.
Engineer: Here is my preferred class. His weapons are nothing special, but he can build sentries that can be upgraded two times, dispensers that dispense health and ammo to friendlies, and one way teleporters (two parts).

Support Classes
Sniper: Just what the name says. Stay zoomed in to make your shot more powerful. Always aim for the head.
Medic: Second weapon heals friendlies, and after their health is full, it will continue to fill to 150% (making them a particular friend to Heavies). As you heal, your Uberchage will fill. When full, you use right click to deploy ubercharge, making you and whoever you are healing invincible for ten seconds--just don't get separated.
Spy: On all weapons, right click makes you invisible. You can also disguise yourself as any class on the enemy team, keeping you safe from sentries so long as you don't fire your gun or swipe your knife. Your knife is an instant kill if you stab someone in the back. Your sappers sap health out of enemy buildings (engineer's) shutting them down. They can, however, be broken off by the engineer's wrench.

Well, I'm using a spy now. If there's a particularly annoying 1-1 match or stage, though, I'll abuse the engineer.
I just might buy the actual game to keep it after this weekend.

Me as well, thought, I'll have to figure out away to escape all this slowness.

Damn you Intell Chip Set.

Two spies in the guild? ninja Stay on the other team, man. There aren't enough snipers for two spies.

Don't worry I'll pistol whip you once in a while so you don't get lonely.
