Team Fortress 2: Brotherhood of Arms

[Korolev86]

I remember Valve saying that there were 3 iterations of Team Fortress 2. The first was Brotherhood of Arms and used an enhanced version of the Half-life 1 engine. (lip syncing, scalable detail characters, and integrated voice comm) The second was centered around an alien invasion, maybe a tie-in to Half-life 2. It was probably on an early version of the Source engine. Virtually nothing is known about this version. The 3rd iteration is what we have today, except there were grenades in the early versions and it was harder to tell who was on which team.

This should become a realism mod for the Source engine.

Look up Team GabeN's abandoned TF2 project.

Invasion, from what little info we have, sounds fun.

from what i can tell the version of tf2 we have (the third version you mentioned) is based off of a port of tfc to the source engine. there's textures for the tfc rocket launcher's world model and the resupply turrets inside the files. the icon used for tf2 on the taskbar is actually tfc's, which wouldn't make sense unless they ported tfc to source then went on from there.
