Team Fortress 2 gets new 6 player co-op: Mann vs Machine

As of tomorrow August 15th, Team Fortress 2 will no longer only pit players against other players in a desperate bid to move minecarts and win hats - it will also pit players against machines - large, grey hulking robots intent on blowing things up with bombs. After an ARG for the game recently revealed Gray Mann - Redmond and Blutarch Mann's long lost brother, the Team Fortress 2 official website updated to unveil the new upcoming Mann vs Machine mode.

In Mann vs Machine, teams of 6 will defend various Mann Co. strongholds and fight off waves of robots in an attempt to stop them setting off a bomb and destroying the compound. Players will get a chance to upgrade their weapons and abilities between waves - and if they manage to defeat the ravaging robot hordes they will net some sweet loot.

Embedded below is the trailer for Mann vs Machine, which you can also watch in our videos library - going full screen for HD of course. I haven't played TF2 for ages, since shortly after the hats began (I kind of wished I'd stopped before then so I wouldn't have to deal with people bugging me for the ones I have) but I like the idea of a straight up co-op vs computer version of the game and might jump back in if I get the chance. How about you? Let us know in the comments below!
