  • August 14, 2014 - TF2 Official Blog updated. Submissions Now Being Accepted for TF2 Merch Ever feel like today's fashion trends are lacking a little something? Like there aren't enough t-shirts with drunken ramblings printed on them? Okay but not drunken Demoman ramblings. Then come this way to submit your designs to the brand new Merchandise section in the Team Fortress 2 Workshop, and then buy them. Guaranteed to make you look 295% cooler.* (*no guarantees)
  • 2014年6月5日TF2 官方部落格更新。曼恩企業工廠部門。讓人意外的是,製作新武器並不是每次皆有著預期結果的精確科學。有時會失敗,有時更會超級大失敗。瞧一瞧 TF2 團隊和各位分享的,在設計武器時腦袋裡出現的錯誤(有時正確)的各種考慮吧。
  • 2014年5月2日TF2 官方部落格更新。用絕地要塞漫畫補足背景故事吧!各式各樣的遊戲相關知識可以累積七年喔。不了解從管理員噗皮喬的事情嗎?或者在承受著因不了解背景而頭暈目眩、腦袋困惑、被陽光照到眼睛會更糟的眼花撩亂以及和多具放在床下的木乃伊一起睡覺的同時,能做到的只有看官方部落格查看有無更新?那麼,看官您走運啦。拿著這本漫畫和兩顆阿斯匹靈,所有事情都會好轉der。
  • 2014年4月2日TF2 官方部落格更新。新漫畫以及我們目前正著手進行的事物!數學的根本法則已經扭曲,二已經變成四啦。絕地要塞漫畫第三彈:嚴冬地獄(A Cold Day in Hell)已經釋出啦!我們同時也可以讓你們看一眼之後會釋出的更新長什麼樣子:是一座在月球上的基地以及 Steam 工作坊對嘲諷動作物品的正式支援喔。
  • 2013年7月10日TF2 官方部落格更新。快將那更新往前移!經過了一個星期的預告,更新終於要出現了!將你所持有的夏季貨物提領證,拿來兌換裡頭放著最新社群物品的夏季冷藏箱,也請享受新推出的地圖、改良過的舊地圖,以及使用你以前從不會想考慮使用,經過最新調整的武器!
  • 2013年7月9日TF2 官方部落格更新。快將那投票往前移!曾經想過 Valve 是如何審核在工作坊中等著在遊戲中正式推出的投稿物品嗎?他們這次拿出了一張列出許多審查標準的單子,當然,你的意見也是考慮的重點。此外,可以搶先一窺預計要在這次更新推出的 64 項物品的其中一項。
  • 2013年7月5日TF2 官方部落格更新。快將那些地圖往前移!所有讓玩家獲得極大優勢的漏洞應該要補起來了。一個即將要釋出的更新,會修正多個官方地圖(包含地圖 Badwater)中存在的漏洞。此外更新也會推出兩張正式成為官方地圖的社群地圖:ProcessStandin!請期待更多消息釋出。
  • 2013年6月27日TF2 官方部落格更新。幫助我們繼續付下去。沒有任何物品是只靠一名創作者,沒有其他援助就能產生的。為了感謝他們,Valve 決定讓那些工作坊創作者可以將他們販售物品所得到的利潤,分給其他有提供幫助的人。更棒的是,這些給其他人的錢是由 Valve 販售物品的所得中提供的,所以現在沒有任何理由不讓幫助你的人從銷售利潤中分一杯羹囉。
  • 2013年6月13日TF2 官方部落格更新。我們剛釋出了些金星物品!讓 Valve 自身也感到驚奇的是,工作坊的創作者們真的有注意最新消息,將他們的物品用提交工具重新上傳以換得金星認證。所以這次 Valve 決定一改作風,叫 Valve Time 滾蛋去死,然後在兩天後的更新時運進十個經金星認證的工作坊新物品!同時,請多加關注即將釋出的超級神祕更新。
  • 2013年6月11日TF2 官方部落格更新。現在是投稿的絕佳時機。目前總共有超過一千萬美元已經付給了超過四百位的社群物品投稿者,而且光是這次的機器舞社群更新的投稿者我們就預定要付給他們將近二十五萬美元了。如果您想試試由自己賺來那些血汗帽錢,那麼現在就把你設計的物品提交到Steam 工作坊吧。遊戲內建的物品提交工具已經大幅改善,使用提交工具投稿物品的玩家,可以獲得一枚金星以證明自己的物品和 TF2 相容。
  • 2013年5月1日TF2 官方部落格更新。SteamPipe:告知各位一下。SteamPipe,一種改善遊戲內容下載、更新和儲存的全新系統,現在正式啟用啦!雖然轉換成新系統的過程會花費幾分鐘,但之後享受的快速且不中斷的下載過程,時間更短的啟動時間和更簡便的遊戲模組位置分配、安裝和管理,等個幾分鐘是值得的。請參閱這篇問與答以獲得更多資訊。
  • 2013年4月2日TF2 官方部落格更新。別喝那罐瓶手道。我們通常不會在部落格上放 Cosplay(角色扮演)的消息,原因有兩個:第一,我們很快就會變成 TF2 Cosplay 專門網站,以及第二,我們的心會因為怨恨忌妒而乾枯萎縮。但是,有一群令人驚訝的絕地要塞 2 角色扮演者今天在部落格中登場了,你可以在這裡找到更多跟他們的 Cosplay 有關的圖片。
  • 2013年4月1日TF2 官方部落格更新。商業時間。TF2 團隊成功欺騙了社群網站 Reddit,讓他們以為自己把整個絕地要塞 2 都買了下來,這樣就可以神不知鬼不覺地回頭買下 Reddit 自己啦。為了慶祝這次偷偷摸摸的購買行動,以 Reddit 為主題的物品會新增至遊戲中。但是,可別太興奮喔,這次的事件可能跟上一次一樣是個愚人節笑話。
  • December 19, 2012 - TF2 Official Blog updated. New Adult Swim Gear Are you a fan of The Venture Bros. or Aqua Teen Hunger Force? Ever want to show everyone in the game just how big of a fan you are? Now you can, with some new gear arriving from the folks at Adult Swim! Check it out here.
  • December 11, 2012 - TF2 Official Blog updated. Well, Now I'm a Statue "I wish I'd read the fine print, since Mann Co. now owns my likeness rights until the year 7039." Gaming Heads has turned Sniper into a statue, and you can find more info from here.
  • October 17, 2012 - TF2 Official Blog updated. Attention, Cowards! Saxton Hale has taken time out of his busy day to address you - that's right, you - and your cowardice. If you are not a coward then this is not addressed to you, but otherwise you are in for a world of theoretical hurt.
  • August 16, 2012 - TF2 Official Blog updated. Introducing the TF2 Game Hub. Ever wanted to have TF2 screenshots, videos, discussions, news, blog posts and Steam Workshop submissions all mashed up in one place? No? Well, that's too bad, because Team Fortress 2 just got a game hub, which is part of the Steam Community update. While the entire update is only available in a closed beta, anyone can check out the new TF2 hub and get a taste of what's coming to Steam soon.
  • August 12, 2012 - TF2 Official Blog updated. Blood Brothers. In just 12 hours, the community has unveiled TF2's most complex ARG so far, which revealed a new comic a few weeks less than Valve had planned. Nice job, TF2 Community.
  • June 21, 2012 - TF2 Official Blog updated. How a Gun Gets Made. If maps are not fun enough to make, Jalcober still made a tutorial for other users on how to model, texture and submit your weapons for TF2. Meanwhile, the community discovered that if you craft two Banana Peels together, you get a secret message unique to each user. These codes resulted in this image. Find out more and keep up to date on the ARG article.
  • June 1, 2012 - TF2 Official Blog updated. How a Map Gets Made. Ever wonder how TF2 maps are made? Then you'll enjoy this breakdown of the thought process that goes into making a popular map. See how Gorge came about, from initial concept as rough sketches, all the way to the final product.
  • April 7, 2012 - A new Valve-related encyclopaedia, the Ricochet Wiki, is launched by our community! Start editing it now, but be careful to not fall off your pad or get hit by an incoming disc while editing!
  • March 28, 2012 - TF2 Official Blog updated. You Are Quite Welcome. Nothing beats a hat. Except of course, maybe hats that show off how great you are, or hats that only last one day. Well you're in luck, because the Per Diem Perk has just begun! The players with most duel wins, Map Stamps purchased, and gifts handed out are going to receive special one-of-a-kind hats that last one day each! Now you too can own a one-of-a-kind hat without having to win an art contest or invent Minecraft! Plus, if you thought Strange weapons didn't track enough stats, that's about to change! All you need is to do is use a Strange Part on your favorite Strange weapon and you'll be ready to use math to explain exactly how much better you are than other people!
