As this Steam Forums thread points out, the latest issue of PC Action has some new details about TeamFortress 2, which has been translated by Halflife2.net, where they have details on maps, classes and gameplay. Here’s the scoop:
- There won’t be “normal” grenades anymore. Valve thinks that they unify the different classes too much.
- Unlike in Fortress Forever, teleporters are kept in Team Fortress 2. The ammo dispenser will make a comeback as well.
- There will be a personalized statistics system. For example, you could see an in-game message like “Hey, you’ve never played your class as well as today - keep it up!”
- Valve thinks that classes in other games are a joke. “Where’s the difference between me choosing a M16 or an AK-47 rifle?”, asks Robin Walker.
- It would be technically feasible to let owners of a PC, XBOX 360 and PS3 play against each other. Whether this feature makes it into the final game is still uncertain and depends on Sony and Microsoft.
- Valve received very few threatening letters because of TF2’s comic design.
- Owners of multicore processors will get additional, undisclosed, graphics details.
