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!

Posted by: |

The countdown on MekTek Studios’ website is counting down the hours to the release of the FULL MechWarrior 4 (plus all expansion packs) … FREE.

MW4 Countdown

From a quote left by the forum admin:

“In honor of BattleTech’s 25th anniversary, Smith and Tinker has authorized MekTek.net and MekTek Studios to distribute MechWarrior 4 (along with its expansion packs) completely free. For years, MekTek.net has been the central point for online distribution of MechWarrior 4 expansion packs. Now they can provide the core game free to the fans as well. Keep an eye on BattleTech.com — the free download will be available soon!”

He also noted about the new franchise reboot coming as well:

“MechWarrior fans have been hoping, praying and anticipating a new game in the famed franchise ever since the last expansion pack for MechWarrior 4 was released in 2002. Now, seven years later, their prayers have been answered. IGN has the very first details about MechWarrior reboot that is currently in production at Smith and Tinker and Piranha games. Yes, that’s right, reboot. Instead of this game becoming MechWarrior 5, the developers have decided to completely re-launch the entire franchise, calling this new title MechWarrior.”

Personally, I can’t wait :D

Dr. Pepper’s website will be hammered all day today due to the free soda promotion they are doing.
