Hey, with a few days coming up until v21, I thought this would be a good time to let anyone know who didn't already know, TF2 is free!
What does this mean for us at Respawn?
Anyone who is interested can play! (..woot)
At the moment, I have 3 pub servers planned.
First is a general TF2 server, with full map rotation for official Valve maps and a few custom maps that will be used in the comp.
Second is a MGE Mod server, this is a 1 vs 1 deathmatch mod for TF2 based on some of the more common map areas. Wanted to prove to your friends that you are better than them in 1 vs 1, here's where to do it!
And finally is just a fun server because I want to see how this modification works.
This modification is a randomizer mod, it's hard to describe, so here's a video on how it works.

If you have 4 friends playing and are just looking for a 5th, Peepshow was looking for a team in this thread

If anyone has any other server mods they are interested in, let me know, and I will see what I can do (quite a few I have looked at are apparently broken post-uber update).
Note: The game files for TF2 will be hosted at the LAN. This will prove to be extra useful if Valve follow their tradition of having updates on the Friday or Saturday of Respawn... Damn time zones...
