Valve Completes Orange Box on Mac Tomorrow With Team Fortress 2 June 9, 2010

Valve is expected to release Team Fortress 2, the final part of 2007’s The Orange Box, to the Mac OSX platform tomorrow.  This joins Portal and Half-Life 2 (with Ep 1 and 2), which are all already up for purchase and download.

Bringing these classic games to the Mac platform has been quite benificial to PC users.  When Portal was released at launch, it was given out for free to all users who wanted it for a week.  When Half-Life 2 was released for the Mac, Valve updated the PC version of it and Episode 1 to support the Steam Achievements and Steamworks system, bringing it on par with the Xbox 360 release (and therefore making me play it for the tenth time!).

Team Fortress 2 Mac is expected to be compatable with it’s PC counterpart for Mac user vs PC user play.
