We all knew the Team Fortress 2 was coming this week, at least in beta form. It’s now available to all those who’ve pre-ordered the Orange Box, which includes HL2 and both Episode’s and also Portal and of course, TF2. The game will be officially released in the second week of October, but now’s your chance to jump on in for an early peek, and even potentially discover a few bugs along the way.
After what appears to have been a few hiccups, the Team Fortress 2 beta is now available to play through Steam. Or rather, it’s available if you pre-ordered the Orange Box through the PC download service. Otherwise, you’re out of luck. “No dice,” in the parlance of Damon Runyon-esque gangster culture.
