The Red and Blue teams of Team Fortress 2 now have a new enemy they both share, the machines! An update 2 years in the making, Valve has announced the new Man vs. Machine content patch which brings a new computer controlled "faction" and a new co-op mode to TF2.

Six players are pitted versus waves of robots, some of which are built to look like machine versions of the iconic TF2 classes. There are heavyweight heavy robots who love to brawl with their fists, robot snipers who shoot jarate filled darts, and bombs with legs who...are just bombs with legs.

There are also giant robots which come every few waves, such as Rapid Fire Soldier, who uses a rocket launcher more akin to a machine gun. Other "boss" style robots include a heavy who can shoot down projectiles and a super scout who moves lighting fast and can pick up bombs used to destroy the Mann co. Facilities you are trying to defend.

The update goes live August 15th which is tomorrow. In the mean time you can check out the trailer for MvM above or head on over to http://www.teamfortress.com/mvm/ to find out more about the update. Do you think the Man vs. Machine update will be a forgotten novelty mode or will it last in TF2? Let us know!

"Team Fortress 2 adding new co-op MANN vs. Machine Mode" FTFY

I'm updating my TF 2 atm, long time no play, hate all the free to players who go there and ruin the fun :D (feeders, pff) But it seems like this is a new kind of "zomblu". Like cyborgs or cyborgmen in Doctor Who ^^ This'll surely make things in TF 2 more exiting.

I'm curious if you can actually get items/crates from the co-op too, or do i still have to play vs Players? Stay tuned and I'll answer your questions!
