I want to see how a three-team mode would play out. Will alliances be formed by two team to take out a third? Will it be followed by backstabbing (literal and/or otherwise)?
Yes. Just like any other threesome.

The Mann will, written at the same time that picture was taken, says he had at least resurfaced to his father. But it could easily be someone else. At the very least, if its not grey, the person is not in the will at all:This picture has been posted already...

That can't be Gray, Redmond and Blutarch didn't know they had a third brother at the time, unless they didn't know who he was at the time, and he was just watching...
Lastly, to most trusted Elizabeth I leave the entirety of my "miracle" gravel cache, uncovered with Barnabas during a trip to Terra Australis. My weakling son Gray resurfaced last year and has threatened to blackmail me for it. I give the gravel to you and swear you to utmost secrecy in its keeping
Yes. Just like any other threesome.
Gray Mann
G. Mann
G-Man
Right was the Halloween update.
Is someone suppose to do all of this to unlock something, or is that something already unlocked?
I think the G-Man thing is just a happy coincidence. It makes no sense.
They have been working on this since 2009.
I don't think coincidence is a word in Valve's dictionary.
K, the main blog header has been like that forever, only the blood stains are new.
The G-man similarities are probably Valve's artists having fun. Gray Mann is not the G-man.

First concrete teaser was in the Foundry update around Christmas, though, and they've been planning since long before that - I wouldn't discount it being intentional.
It's pretty amazing what kind of narrative Valve have managed to build around a simple class-based MP shooter.
Masterful stuff for any marketing class.

the heavy was imprisoned at a young age in a gulag with his mother and sisters after his father, a counter-revolutionary, was executed by the soviets. three months later, the gulag burned to the ground, with all prisoners escaped, and all guards tortured to death. he eventually was trained in a military camp for children where he watched a sparrow die. he went to college and earned a degree in Russian literature, and later became a high-priced assassin, charging thousands of dollars for his services so he can feed his family, who he still supports. he lives in a small remote log cabin in the dzhugdzhur mountains in eastern siberia, where he sleeps next to his gun, which sits in a smaller bed next to his.
i did not make any of this up

If Gray just revealed himself to the brothers a hundred years later, doesn't that mean he's not the mystery man in the torn photo?
God I'm dying at this. That Valve team....
So hyped for this and I don't even know what it is.
What makes you say this?A TF2 update three years in the making
And probably one of the last super huge mega-updates TF2 ever has, if not the last one

Don't get all worked up guys.
It's probably just the Hallowen update. Remember the Portal 2 ARG? When solved, it ended up being nothing.

Good God.
Engineer builds life extender for Grey, hundreds of years into the future to the years of Half Life. He becomes the G-Man.
Lol maybe not.
Imagine this : TF2 update with horde mode. Valve announces "When 1 mil. players play they will announce/reveal something. Goal is reached in 10 minutes. Valve release a video. U see gray mann coming saying "U did well" then u realise its the voice of gman. Then he goes off screen. Everything goes black. Then u see a landscape with a street. And then suddenly u see the HL2 buggy with the gnome on its back. The wait would be over.
I always thought the Half-Life story is crafted in such a way, those universes could definitely belong within each other's. All Valve games do that, but can you imagine if in Half Life 3 you come across an item or character from TF2, with TF2 graphics but the rest of the game is Half-Life graphics... Could be the freakiest thing ever.
I agree. It's insanely good stuff.Valve's animation team is godly.
Seriously, any of you who aren't even fans of MOBA should check the game out just for the animations.
