Valve has released another vignetter in their 'Meet the' series of promo-videos for the upcoming Team Fortress 2 - part of the Orange Box set including Half-Life 2: Episode 2
and Portal. 




The Engineer is one of nine playable character classes in the game but don't let the volume of class-types scare you off.  Team Fortress 2 is nowhere near as difficult to get into as Shadowrun and the gameplay is almost every bit as fun as the promo-videos...ok, well, almost.

Name: Engineer
Role: Defense
Weapons: Shotgun / Pistol / Wrench
Contraptions: Turret / Dispenser / Teleporter
Favorite Equation: Omitted to protect the children
Bio: This amiable, soft-spoken good ol’ boy from tiny Bee Cave, Texas loves barbeque, guns, and higher education. Natural curiosity, 10 years as a roughneck in the west Texas oilfields, and 11 hard science PhDs have trained him to design, build and repair a variety of deadly contraptions.
 
About Team Fortress 2
Team Fortress 2 (TF2) is the sequel to the game that put class-based, multiplayer team warfare on the map. This video showcases TF2’s implementation of the Source engine’s advanced facial animation technology, which enables real-time, in-game, in-engine facial animations that can now surpass the facial animations used in feature film and broadcast television production.

Team Fortress 2 is coming this fall (October 10) as part of the Orange Box, which also features Half-Life® 2: Episode 2 and Portal and includes Half-Life® 2 and Half-Life® 2: Episode 1.
