Valve was going to make an announcement about TF:S and/or TF2 after HL2's release. Has anyone heard anything?
My biggest regret with HL1 was that I never got to make a TFC map, so I was hoping to get a jump on things with HL2 and start a Source TF map now. I'd kinda hate to make a TF map for an non-existant mod/game, though.
ps: this look like a good start on a flag room?! 
pps: going to work, so I probably won't respond till tonight

looks good, You ought to make those pillars that go to the middle of the roof into displacement surfaces and subdivide them to make them round and organic looking. it would be COOL.

*valve is working on TF2 (but wont give more info like dates etc)
*an indepentent group is working on TF:S, under the name "Fortress Forever". They've been on it for a year, and using their previous work and extensive research as a starting point, and given the HL2 SDK's release, the Fortress Forever team is now pushing forward in full force.
Seems they're not really looking for an extra mapper but im sure high quality submissions will be apprectiated, so go for it

[addsig] the more reason to try to convince them of your work 
well he didnt have unlimited room for creativity as its a remake of the original openfire, so i think he did a pretty ok job, but indeed not mind-blowing.

. They look pretty good. Though I can
see why someone wouldn't be impressed; not enough static-mesh
stuff/junk littering the entire level.
Team Fortess was never about pretty graphics. Hell, most TFC maps were downright UGLY, because TF is all about the gameplay
I'll check out that mod, looks interesting. I'm not interested in working ON a mod team right now, though I might submit maps to one independently.
cause there might be a chance tf2 wont have the same gameplay as tfc. i think the FF team is after only taking the "classic" out of tfc, i.e. modern maps, models,... but still with conc, limited-BH,... Also they seem to be very community oriented (with their roots in the uktfcl community), close to the ppl, listening to ideas...
ps: im glad they're not after the nowadays-popular "junk littering the entire level"-approach, grav gun doesnt fit in tfc imo

now would that be a shame..

Although I later played mostly Action HL and UT2k4 Onslaught, TFC is still my favorite game of all time really.
What I saw of early TF2 looked a lot more like Battlefield 1942 etc. than the original Team Fortress, so I think there's definitely some value in a mod that seeks to recapture and enhance the original's style of gameplay.
In other news, I now have my 'old' computer up and running- Athlon 2700+, GF4800se 128mb, and 1GB pc3200. Having two gaming pcs is so fun bwahahaha
Why, its not really like you can be playing both at once
