    My guess is by 5pm PST = 8pm EST = 3am GMT. After 5 it's not so much "late in the day" as "early in the evening". :)

    Well there's a lot of people here that have been waiting for TF2 for years, and now that the day's finally here, valve's taking their sweet time releasing it. I'm not one of those people who've been waiting for years, but I can understand why some people are pissed.

    Seriously..Valve are idiots sometimes. They make good games, but some of their business decisions make no sense at all. They should have released it at like 12am or something

    I would expect it around the time we usualy get steam news posts, which is anywhere in the next 4-5 hours, the CSS beta came out around that time before HL2 aswell, it just seems to be the trend.

    Seriously it be soooo awesome for them to just release the game without the DS it would be soooo FUN... :rolleyes: I'm sorry but I rather have dedicated servers up when I want to play the game and not listen servers. Their "business decision" makes perfect sense,.

    This is retarded.

    "TF2 BETA ON MONDAY!"

    If they're going to release at midnight then why the hell did they announce it for today?

    LOL Steamforums is getting crawling today. Haven't seen this much activity since HL2 was released. Think Episode 2 is going to be a good thing for Valve financially. Good for them.

    Is Fortress Forever a worthwhile substitute to the moments waiting for TF2? Is it that good of a mod to begin with??

    Can't wait for TF2, want to start taking out those sentry guns.

    FF is quite well done for a rushed release. There're balance issues and some scoreboard bugs, and I've heard some people complaining about lag (no problems here), but it's not a bad substitute while you wait for the beta. :)

    TF2 will be fun because it's gameplay is modern while FF is based on the, imo, SHIT TFC.
