I don't really believe this
It's uncharacterist for them to be promoting a major release. The adding of an achievement also seems suspect, and the items are horribly out of style. And how distinct is a really out of style alien swarm parasite hat in Rift, to TF2? Why bother including it when you could have included the Eyelander or Targe or something and have it actually look like a TF2 item. A lot of things just don't add up, and it's not from an official source.
If this does end up being true, I guess, sadly, my streak of owning all the weapons will have ended, since these items will likely go for a ton of stuff because of how expensive the game is.
49.99 AND a monthly fee? I feel sorry for the poor fuckers who buy this shit for the items.
Actually, I feel bad for anybody who buys this.
I don't think people would have to worry about seeing it much unless it's a reskin of the Axtinguisher, Powerjack or Back Scratcher.
The Scout's weapon on the other hand could be questionable, he already has a reskin of the bat arguably in the form of the fish, and I can't see that weapon working like the Sandman.
I think being moved to Valve's TF2 team is equivalent with the order "go nuts."

I can`t believe someone feels sorry for the TF2 community.
I'm actually in disbelief, these items looks to unfitting to ever be put into tf2. I won't believe it till I see in-game screenshots or an update for Team Fortress 2.

It's caught on (finally).
Adding items for TF2 to x game results in a MASSIVE boost for x in sales equal to the amount of people who play TF2.
For a game like Rift it's god profit.
$49.99, monthly fees, WoW clone, MMORPG, unfitting...
I can't find more words to describe how I dislike this.

So does saying you're putting in TF2 items, though
I wonder how many people went and bought Rift after hearing this? Even if they don't actually put TF2 items in the game, the first day or two of the news will have people buying the game just for the potential items.
There also isn't an official source for any of this, other than a fan blog.
Does anyone have the Rift Beta? Is that bug hat already in the game? Maybe someone just made a fake press release to try and get attention?
Oh cool, I love mmo games...

Fuck that
[QUOTE=HazzaHardie;27834070]It's there fault[/QUOTE]
Their***
Also, if these weapons don't have any stats on them (which they most likely won't), I don't see a reason to replace my current weapons. Especially that axe. Why would I get rid of my Axtinguisher for an art style breaking axe that doesn't do shit?
Edit: Nevermind. They have unique stats. FUCK.
Anyone actually playing this game won't even have enough time or care to "enjoy" those items in tf2
lame, I liked collecting all the weapons.
hnnnnng, must use reaction gif...:saddowns:
Wow. This is getting ridiculous. I mean. They don't fit AT ALL! Seriously, the brain slug fits more than these piece of craps...

Honestly, we have too much evidence to support this being true.
It claims there will be a new achievement in TF2, and the pictures in the "New payload map" thread reveal that there will be five new achievements.
Though it may be an event, who knows.
Like I said, CROSSOVER UPDATE! :P

It's on joystiq so it's proably real.
I hope it forces people that buy it for the items to play for atleast a few months, let them shell out everything for the monthly fee.
As long as they do another crossover, with a good game. Not an MMO.

I guess I just don't want this to be true because I have weapon OCD (I must have all the weapons, even reskins) and I know the TF2 trade hoarders are going to want like 3 unusuals for these items, and I just can't do that.
The golden wrench already pains me enough
[QUOTE=Chilean;27833933]Those pictures are the items as they appear in Rift, Valve will have slightly better ones. Slightly.[/QUOTE]
Bu-BUT THAT WOULD TAKE EFFORT. Not only the effort of modelling, but moving your hand to move the mouse in the sea of money.
and there goes my tf2 installation going up to 16gb

SURE LOOKS LIKE A HEADCRAB TO ME.

Seriously?
Isn't enough we have a Parasite for all class?
This shit doesn't fit to TF2.

The hat is for Rift, the weapons are for TF2.

Still weapons doesn't fit.
