I seriously hope Valve is making some progress on this project which has been in development since 1998! Of the features Valve touted for TF2, most have been implemented in the form of patches for TFC, which for all intents and purposes, should be considered a beta test bed for TF2. There are at least 2 more features yet to be implemented(lip-syncing and commander mode). Still, I find it hard to believe that the end result will justify the frustration heaped upon fans of Valve due to the numerous delays. More frustrating, I think, is the near complete news blackout that Valve has put up regarding TF2.
