Comment on Half-Life 3 Reportedly Delayed Due to Steam Machine Price, Leak Claims

Team Fortress was not an “extremely popular existing franchise” even among dedicated PC gamers. What the Orange Box did was let Valve experiment with marketing materials like the teaser videos for Portal and “Meet the Heavy.”

TFC was one of the most-played mods for HL1, there was plenty of anticipation around it

man… I really wish valve would go back and make new Meet The videos… or just TF2 videos in general. The first ones, like Heavy, got so ripped off compared to later ones like the Pyros

    Comics were great too. Wish there was more of those too.
    
    There was almost a TF2 show on adult swim, too… I dont remember all the details, I think it fell through cause Valve refused to listen to any input the CN execs had?
