Animated Team Fortress 2 Short Shows Off New Medic Powers
Team Fortress 2 received an update recently that grants The Medic some new powers, and Valve has put together an animated short to show it off.
As part of the Two Cities updates, which uses the timeframe of the Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, as its thematic inspiration, The Medic has a new set of powers. He now has the ability to project a shield and revive the dead. More exciting than the update, however, is a new animated short with The Medic using his new powers.

Our Take
Even if you don't play Team Fortress 2, the animated shorts produced for the game are always worth getting excited about, and it's been a while since we've seen a new one. I would happily watch a whole feature film starring the cast of Team Fortress 2, if you're listening, Valve.
