TF2 Blog: Guard Dog

A day or two ago, fake TF2 update fliers circulated various Team Fortress 2 forums including the official Steam Forums, and Facepunch Studios. Nothing too out of the ordinary, aside from the fact that this update includes a weaponized dog. Forum goers as usual brushed it off as another fake, and for good reason.

But in a very recent blog post, the crafty demons at Valve published a TF2 Blog post featuring a patent pending paper regarding the Guard Dog.

What are you up to, Valve?

It just sounds like they're applauding the creator for his creativity.

I hope so. Dogs definitely don't fit in with the TF2 mantra.

And Valve's known for screwing with its TF2 fanbase, whether it be hiding Easter-eggs in update posts for unlockable medals, or totally dangling the Pyro gender question.

Or they might be pulling another 'Jarate' on us. It was originally an April Fool's day joke, but ended up being a weapon in TF2.

It's fake, but still awesome.

Confirmed by Robin Walker through e-mail.

Maybe fake isn't the best word.

It's a fan made project which Valve liked so much that they're posting it up on their blog.

Team Fortress 2 'native VR port' could be coming to Steam after Valve releases source code

After Valve released the Team Fortress 2 source code, developers and modders are reviving TF2 VR, making it bigger and better than ever.

Seems dumb, multiplayer fast paced VR... Sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Source 2 versions of the games they had, remakes or sequels to their games should've come out like a decade ago, now they'd need a heavily upgraded Source 2 or just Source 3 to be up to par with current engines tbh..

The TF2 SDK has arrived

Valve: "Mod makers, rejoice! We've just released a massive update to the Source SDK, adding all the Team Fortress 2 client and server game code. This update will allow content creators to build completely new games based on TF2. We're also doing a big update to all our multiplayer back-catalogue Source engine titles (TF2, DoD:S, HL2:DM, CS:S, and HLDM:S), adding 64-bit binary support, a scalable HUD/UI, prediction fixes, and a lot of other improvements!"
