==Overview==
 +
Team Fortress 2 Invasion is a "steampunk", Tesla and War of The Worlds inspired [[wikipedia:First-person shooter|first-person shooter]] developed by [[Valve Corporation]], one of the proposed sequels to ''[[Team Fortress Classic]]''. Like with multiple other early designs of TF2, it was cut for varying and unclear reasons.

==Gameplay==
 +
There are two teams, the Humans and the Aliens. Gameplay is primarily based in collecting resources<ref>[http://www.teamgaben.com/gaben/index.php?title=Team_Fortress_2_(GabeN) Section based on GabeN wiki]</ref>, which are gained through collecting from Resource Pumps, killing enemies, and destruction of enemy buildings.

毛泽东是中国共产党创始人之一，中国人民解放军和中华人民共和国的主要缔造者和领导人，其终身担任中国共产党中央委员会主席、中国共产党中央军事委员会主席，被尊称为毛泽东主席、毛主席。在经济社会等方面，毛泽东于1949年起逐渐推行计划经济[3]，1950年起推进了扫盲运动，1953年起推动社会主义改造和工业化，1954年主导制定了第一部《中华人民共和国宪法》，1958年提出开展“两弹一星”工程；毛泽东时代的中国人口总数由5亿多增长到9亿多，人口生育率高于世界平均水平、人口死亡率呈波动式下降[4][5]，期间中国政府并未严格实行计划生育、曾一度鼓励生育[6][7]。与此同时，在政治文化等方面，1949年至1976年间，毛泽东主导或发动了土地改革运动、镇压反革命运动、三反五反运动、肃反运动、反右运动、大跃进、人民公社、四清运动、文化大革命等一系列政治和社会运动，中国国民经济及科教学术受到巨大冲击[8][9][10][11][12]，中华传统文化及道德沦亡[13][14][15][16][17]，民主、法制及宪政遭到严重破坏[12][18][19][20][21]，据各方估计造成了数千万中国人的非正常死亡[22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29]，亦有数千万中国人受到批斗和迫害[30][31][32][33][34]。

Invasion does not have rounds, but Acts, which besides the name is basically the same thing.

1976年9月9日，毛泽东在北京病逝，终年83岁，遗体安放在毛主席纪念堂至今。世界各地对毛泽东的評價历来褒貶不一、充满争议，而毛泽东时代的朝鲜战争、中苏交恶、越南战争、中美破冰、红色高棉夺权等也是冷战期间世界各国博弈的显现。中国共产党、中华人民共和国官方将毛泽东定位为党和国家的缔造者以及党和国家第一代领导集体的核心，毛泽东思想被列为中国共产党的主要指导思想之一。支持者认为毛泽东在中国工业化、反对帝国主义和霸权主义的运动中作出了重要贡献，降低了中国人口的文盲率，并促进了中国妇女地位的提升[35][36][37][38]；反对者则批评毛泽东的独裁、极权和推行个人崇拜，谴责毛泽东时代的诸多运动造成了大量人员和财产损失、文物古迹的损毁以及给中国社会带来的浩劫和精神创伤

Maps revolved around classic Team Fortress gameplay setups, such as attack/defend and control points. Often the focus of maps were Control Zones, which function pretty similarly to Control Points in the final game. However Invasion had side goals that helped fuel the "core" objective of attacking/defending Control Zones.
 +
 
 +
Resource Zones usually are areas that both teams focus on. This means that in attack/defend, attackers could have a few allies trying to keep control of the Resource Zone so the team has a constantly flow of resources to help fuel the objective. This means that players who may prefer defensive action could defend something even without being on the defending team. This made sure that regardless of which team you're on, you will always have to keep control of something.
 +
 
 +
===Classes===
 +
There are several classes present in this incarnation, most of them are evolved versions of their respective counterparts from Team Fortress Classic.
 +
 
 +
The Recon: (Evolution of the Scout)
 +
Only has one weapon, Dual Semi-Automatic Pistols. And right-clicking would launch a stickybomb.
 +
Focused highly on being incredibly mobile, at the cost of not having very accurate weapons or anything to build besides the basic Resource Pump and Respawn Station.
 +
It's the fastest class in the game. It can double-jump and stick onto the sides of walls, but you can't climb them or double-jump while sticking to walls. Usually good for getting a nice position over the enemy.
 +
 
 +
The Commando
 +
===Buildables===
 +
There are some buildable objects, including
 +
 
 +
Resource Pump
 +
A device used for harvesting resources from a resource zone. Gives one-hundred resources every twelve seconds, and divides this amount by the amount of players on your team, and then distributes it to each teammate.
 +
 
 +
Dragon's Teeth
 +
Used for blocking vehicles from driving into areas.
 +
 
 +
Sentry Guns
 +
An sentry gun that comes in two types; plasma, and rocket. You could unlock technology that would upgrade it's AI and make it more accurate, increase trigger radius, and faster response to the laser designator.
 +
 
 +
EMP Generator
 +
A device that disables any enemy equipment it is attached too. An offensive building.
 +
 
 +
Sandbag Bunker
 +
A weaker version of the bunker that was meant to give players minimal cover.
 +
 
 +
Bunker
 +
A defensive building meant for giving cover for players.
 +
 
 +
Resupply Station
 +
A device that could be used to resupply ammuntion, health, and grenades in exchange for Resources.
 +
 
 +
Respawn Station
 +
A replacement for the teleporter. Crucial for a huge attacking push or getting defenders on the Zone quickly after they have respawned.
 +
 
 +
Vehicle Boost
 +
When applied to a vehicle, it would boost the speed of the vehicle which it was applied too.

==Releases==
 +
===2003 Leak===
 +
In [[The 2003 Leak|2003]], a German hacker gained access to and released the password for Valve's file server and took Valve's development files, which reportedly included a full build of TF2. In the leaks, he unintentionally released some of what he had to the public, which amounted to the Human and Alien Commando models and the full source code at the time.
 +
 
 +
Although the only two models that remain released to the public to this day are only the Human and Alien Commando models, a look at the source code clearly hints that many more models were done during the development of the game. Such model references, include, for example:
 +
* models/objects/vehicle_battering_ram.mdl
 +
 
 +
* models/objects/obj_manned_plasmagun.mdl
 +
 
 +
===2012 Source Engine Leak===
 +
In Adamix's 2012 leak of the Source Engine's source, there is still a large amount of code leftover from this incarnation of TF2. The code is changed and modified, showing that Invasion was worked on a little after it's code was leaked. Most of which are dated 2005 in the headers.
 +
 
 +
It's very similar to the 2003 variant but has several code fixes or some better code.

===Moby Francke, ~2005-2008===
 +
Sometime between April 4th, 2005 and June 14, 2008, Moby Francke created a new portfolio to replace his earlier HTML-based one. It is not entirely known what was contained within, as the Flash-based introduction page seen at the start prevented web crawlers from getting past it.
 +
 
 +
Though normal web-archiving services failed to grab it, the Half-Life wiki has some images from before the later portfolio with "mobyfrancke.com" as the stated source.<ref>http://half-life.wikia.com/wiki/File:Medic_concept_1.jpg</ref><ref>http://half-life.wikia.com/wiki/File:Armor_concept1.jpg</ref> A few of these are not seen in the later portfolio.

After more exploration, War of the Worlds TF2 was getting some traction. We had a steampunk flair to all the designs. This version had a truck with a big battering ram driving around. And we were using Striders from HL2 as the Tripod aliens.

===GabeN===

From around 2006 to 2008, Team GabeN actively attempted to remake this game from the code. A direct release was never made, but a large amount of information about it is present on their [http://www.teamgaben.com/gaben/index.php?title=Team_Fortress_2_(GabeN) wiki]. The TF2 page was last edited in 2008<ref>http://www.teamgaben.com/gaben/index.php?title=Team_Fortress_2_%28GabeN%29&action=history</ref>, so it can be presumed that the project fell into inactivity around that time. An early build from 2006 called the "X-Mas build" is the only build that was ever released, which is incredibly early and unpolished.

Revision as of 06:04, 19 June 2020

Team Fortress 2 Invasion is an FPS/RTS hybrid that combines RTS elements with classic Team Fortress gameplay. It was developed mostly during 2002 to 2003, and a little bit more in 2005 before eventually being cancelled. It's code lives on through games like Day of Defeat: Source and Team Fortress 2.

Overview

Team Fortress 2 Invasion is a "steampunk", Tesla and War of The Worlds inspired first-person shooter developed by Valve Corporation, one of the proposed sequels to Team Fortress Classic. Like with multiple other early designs of TF2, it was cut for varying and unclear reasons.

Gameplay

There are two teams, the Humans and the Aliens. Gameplay is primarily based in collecting resources[1], which are gained through collecting from Resource Pumps, killing enemies, and destruction of enemy buildings.

Invasion does not have rounds, but Acts, which besides the name is basically the same thing.

Maps revolved around classic Team Fortress gameplay setups, such as attack/defend and control points. Often the focus of maps were Control Zones, which function pretty similarly to Control Points in the final game. However Invasion had side goals that helped fuel the "core" objective of attacking/defending Control Zones.

Resource Zones usually are areas that both teams focus on. This means that in attack/defend, attackers could have a few allies trying to keep control of the Resource Zone so the team has a constantly flow of resources to help fuel the objective. This means that players who may prefer defensive action could defend something even without being on the defending team. This made sure that regardless of which team you're on, you will always have to keep control of something.

Classes

There are several classes present in this incarnation, most of them are evolved versions of their respective counterparts from Team Fortress Classic.

The Recon: (Evolution of the Scout) Only has one weapon, Dual Semi-Automatic Pistols. And right-clicking would launch a stickybomb. Focused highly on being incredibly mobile, at the cost of not having very accurate weapons or anything to build besides the basic Resource Pump and Respawn Station. It's the fastest class in the game. It can double-jump and stick onto the sides of walls, but you can't climb them or double-jump while sticking to walls. Usually good for getting a nice position over the enemy.

The Commando

Buildables

There are some buildable objects, including

Resource Pump A device used for harvesting resources from a resource zone. Gives one-hundred resources every twelve seconds, and divides this amount by the amount of players on your team, and then distributes it to each teammate.

Dragon's Teeth Used for blocking vehicles from driving into areas.

Sentry Guns An sentry gun that comes in two types; plasma, and rocket. You could unlock technology that would upgrade it's AI and make it more accurate, increase trigger radius, and faster response to the laser designator.

EMP Generator A device that disables any enemy equipment it is attached too. An offensive building.

Sandbag Bunker A weaker version of the bunker that was meant to give players minimal cover.

Bunker A defensive building meant for giving cover for players.

Resupply Station A device that could be used to resupply ammuntion, health, and grenades in exchange for Resources.

Respawn Station A replacement for the teleporter. Crucial for a huge attacking push or getting defenders on the Zone quickly after they have respawned.

Vehicle Boost When applied to a vehicle, it would boost the speed of the vehicle which it was applied too.

Releases

2003 Leak

In 2003, a German hacker gained access to and released the password for Valve's file server and took Valve's development files, which reportedly included a full build of TF2. In the leaks, he unintentionally released some of what he had to the public, which amounted to the Human and Alien Commando models and the full source code at the time.

Although the only two models that remain released to the public to this day are only the Human and Alien Commando models, a look at the source code clearly hints that many more models were done during the development of the game. Such model references, include, for example:

  • models/objects/vehicle_battering_ram.mdl
  • models/objects/obj_manned_plasmagun.mdl

2012 Source Engine Leak

In Adamix's 2012 leak of the Source Engine's source, there is still a large amount of code leftover from this incarnation of TF2. The code is changed and modified, showing that Invasion was worked on a little after it's code was leaked. Most of which are dated 2005 in the headers.

It's very similar to the 2003 variant but has several code fixes or some better code.

Moby Francke, ~2005-2008

Sometime between April 4th, 2005 and June 14, 2008, Moby Francke created a new portfolio to replace his earlier HTML-based one. It is not entirely known what was contained within, as the Flash-based introduction page seen at the start prevented web crawlers from getting past it.

Though normal web-archiving services failed to grab it, the Half-Life wiki has some images from before the later portfolio with "mobyfrancke.com" as the stated source.[2][3] A few of these are not seen in the later portfolio.

From around 2006 to 2008, Team GabeN actively attempted to remake this game from the code. A direct release was never made, but a large amount of information about it is present on their wiki. The TF2 page was last edited in 2008[9], so it can be presumed that the project fell into inactivity around that time. An early build from 2006 called the "X-Mas build" is the only build that was ever released, which is incredibly early and unpolished.
