Meet the best Team Fortress 2 fan-films

6 July 2012

It’s been less than two weeks since Valve launched the Source Filmmaker (SFM) beta, and – no surprises, really – there’s already been a pretty huge response from the community. A chance to make your own movies with Team Fortress 2 game assets? Everybody wants a go.

In an update over on Steam, the SFM team has posted a bunch of fan-made films, with Meet the Heavy spoofs apparently being the big thing right now. I think my favourite one has to be “Meet the Modern Heavy”, because it rather brilliantly en…cap…sulates everything that Team Fortress 2 is all about these days. I MAKE FUNNY, YOU LAUGH.

In response to, well, the response, Valve has also decided to release more beta keys, so check your Steam account and see if you’ve made the – wait for it – director’s cut. I MAKE FUNNY AGAIN, YOU LAUGH. Man, I should just turn this stuff into a movie or something.

Those interested in creating movies and games in parallel can sign up for an SFM beta key and start shooting on location inside the world of TF2. Head on over to the Source Filmmaker website to sign up.

In the meantime, though, here’s the best of the best:
