The free weekend of Team Fortress 2 beginsTODAY on Steam if anyone is interested in the game, but hasn't had the courage to buy it. I very much recommend to at least try this game, as it is amazingly fun and regularly updated with free content of maps, gamemodes, and weapons. It will begin Friday August 22.

Steam website

Free Weekend site
This link will allow you to preload the game so you can instantly play it once the free weekend begins.

Yeah, this is very true. You gotta hand it to Valve, they give us massive free updates, then do whatever they can to enhance the community with stuff like this. Sure, it gets people to buy the game, but it still benefits us who play the game.

Be careful, frugal Bombers- I didn't really have any intention of buying a new game, but I played the last free weekend and got sucked in. You *will* purchase Team Fortress 2. :-P

TF2 is free to download and play, updates and all, for the weekend. After the weekend, you can decide to buy it or not.

That sentence there was very hard to comprehend.

But GameSpy isn't involved in TF2, just so you know

Ok bassically any PC game that has the "Gamespy Arcade" logo on the box, I can't play online because of some weird thing with my Router even though I have perfect connection to Xbox Live.

Aw sweet! I'll finally get to see if the game can run smoothly on my comp without my damn computer crashing on me. (i.e. Spore Creature Creator usually runs alright on my comp but like clockwork my comp always crashes to a blue screen before rebooting every time I exit the game and try to start a new program.

Just be prepared for the aftermath of the recent Heavy Update. You'll probably see more Heavies than you usually would in a normal game.

that reminds me of something funny I did today. I named myself "Rocky Balboa" and spammed the Rocky theme while only using my fists in games.

Holy shit, I fixed my online thing! Now I'm seriously considering upgrading my Dell, it can run Valve games like cake (which is no lie) but I would like to play Crysis too.

Good to see a lot of people are trying the game out, TF2 is an easy game, the only overwhelming thing about it is trying to find a good server to play on.
And to some people confused about the title, it starts today August 22. This thread was made a day before.

I might have wanted to add that this game is free for ONLY THE WEEKEND, once Monday comes around you will either have to buy it or stop playing.
