The long wait is finally over folks as Valve releases Team Fortress 2 for the Mac via Steam.

The long wait is finally over folks as Valve releases Team Fortress 2 for the Mac via Steam. Like the previous titles released on the OS X platform, TF2 will also utilize Steam Play that allows one purchase to play the title on both Windows and Mac. In addition, TF2 on Mac will also support cross platform play, which allows Mac gamers to slug it out with other PC competitors.

Moreover, Valve has also revealed some surprise goodies for the Mac update:

“Those who purchase TF2 for the Mac will receive a free set of “earbuds” for their favorite player character. Purchase the game this weekend can save 50% off the regular. Or, try the game now via the Team Fortress 2 Free Weekend happening now on Steam. In addition to all the TF2-Mac goodness, a new single player training mode has been rolled out for both PC and Mac.”

Along with the Mac announcements, the devs also rolled out a new patch for the game.

Patch notes:

• Added Mac support.
• Overhauled the main menu, and added help to Loadout, Backpack, and Crafting screens.
• Added Training, with support for General gameplay & Soldier class training for now.
• Added Offline Practice mode, with support for KOTH maps and Dustbowl.
• The “Open Character Loadout” key will now go to your future class if you’ve requested a class change, but haven’t respawned yet.
• Community Requests
  • Added “mp_forceautoteam”, a server convar that forces all joining players to autoteam.
  • Added “mp_stalemate_meleeonly”, a server convar that allows melee weapons only during stalemates.
  • Added “ExtinguishPlayer” input to tf_player for map makers.
