Team Fortress 2: Difference between revisions

The game was first announced in 1998 as a sequel to the ''Team Fortress'' Quake mod, but has been through several periods of development. The game was originally followed a modern war aesthetic, as shown in E3 1999, called Team Fortress 2 Brotherhood of Arms. Design continued, with a Half-life 2 source code leak in 2003 showing what could have been an alien inspired iteration of Team Fortress. Finally after 9 years of development, the final rendition of the game follows that of the original Team Fortress and Team Fortress Classic games, and also features a cartoon-like visual style based on the 20th century commerical illustations, as well as art of Dean Cornwell, J. C Leyendecker, and Norman Rockwell. Team Fortress 2 followed a popular trend in CGI films at the time, in particular, films made by Pixar, such as The Incredibles.
