Team Fortress 2: Meet the Medic has Dropped, and TF2 is Now Free to Play

After many months of waiting, Valve has officially released the second to last of the “Meet the Team” videos. “Meet the Medic” is one of the longest “Meet the Team” videos and has been creating a buzz all over the internet.  And rightfully so, gamers have been waiting for this to drop since May 2009 when “Meet the Spy” came out.

Also, in this update Valve has made TF2 free to play, with tiered Free and Premium accounts.  If you have “ever spent money on TF2, you have a premium account.  This includes purchasing the game before it was Free-to-Play, activating a retail version of the game, or making a purchase in the Mann Co. in-game store.” It seems like this was hinted at with new free games showing up on Steam last week; this will help keep TF2 one of the most popular war-themed hat simulators since 2007.  Check out the video below!

Not every mad doctor lives in a castle surrounded by villagers with pitchforks. Sometimes they live in the trenches, where there’s plenty of spare parts flying around and a pressing need to get inventive with them.

Valve has released a FAQ about the new accounts and you can read it here.
