I love Team Fortress but I have never been able to pull myself away from 2Fort.

It does not "confirm" it exactly, but the Scout referred to the Pyro as a male. "Is HE here?" Again - that is not a 100% lock, but it is pretty close. The tone of the voice, the structure of the body, and the Scout's reference. The Pyro is a dude.


Actually, check the closed captioning. The Scout says "He's not here, is she?" The gender is still ambiguous.

Gotta love Valve.

I caught that too. Should have used "they", which keeps gender-neutral, but also suggests a duality of personality, which helps the mystique.


Oh, and I DO believe in magic.

Cheers for the quality!

The only thing that irks me is we still don't know the Pyro's gender. That being said, HOLY FUCKING KITTEN WISKERS, BATMAN!!! Also, buhbye GMOD, Hello Source Filmmaker?


Dear god, I don't want to know...

I think it is clear that Valve is not going to make it clear. But it has been hinted too many times that it's not a dude.

Tbh, I'm quite glad they left the gender ambigious. The joke is that nobody knows - revealing it wouldn't be much of a punchline.

Think its great that Valve are releasing this software for free AND it seems as though they intend to support it with tutorials and updates. As for the video itself...fucking brilliant as usual.

Expect news later this week from AdultSwim. They announced there was some sort of partnership between Valve and themselves and I think this sourcefilmmaker is probably the connection. Looking forward to seeing what comes of that.

The publishers tried that with Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, but they F ed it up realllllly bad and killed the franchise in one fell swoop. So I don't think that'll be happening any time soon.
Besides, there is no need for an overhaul of old Enemy Territory because other games have already surpassed its legacy. Modern Warfare, Call of Duty, Far Cry and Team Fortress 2 have taken Enemy Territory's concept and have surpassed it far and beyond.


Yeah, I didn't like ET:QW.

Meh... at the gameplay level, this game looks to do NOTHING to improve or make more interesting the old style of turn based strategy. You have a resource that limits your actions per turn, you can move, move shoot.. retreat.. ect. Cover is destructable which is a big thing when almost everyone has range attacks.

So where else could it improve? The graphics! Sure this may be decades ahead of the original, but compared to current day it is VERY VERY WEAK. The game uses a more simplistic style but the only way they could pass with that is if it had an artistic level in character and designed. WoW and Team Fortress offer up some low poly models and maps, but make up for it in a style that is truly their own and works. This... this looks like generic army guy shoots at generic looking alien on generic looking movie set.
