Team Fortress 2: The best Halloween cosplay ever
In honor of Halloween and Valve’s multiplayer masterpiece Team Fortress 2, GGL Wire decided to compile some of the TF2 costumes we’ve seen floating around the web.
The skill that went into making some of these costumes is great; what’s better, though, is that people are having such fun wearing them around. TF2 costumes differ from other “cosplay” by being … well, less geeky.
Of course, it’s tough to beef up like the Heavy Weapons Guy or get that Engineer’s lantern-jaw just right, but all of these are much, much better than some unfortunate video game costumes of old (here’s looking at you, Kratos).
Hats off to these dedicated gamers. We’re sure they’ll have a blast in their costumes this week. Note that we don’t claim any ownership of these pictures; they’ve just been collected from forums across the web.
You can see one of the awesome group shots above. Now check out a couple of Heavy Weapons Guys; the one on the right looks like a genuine psychopath.
Now for the Scouts. One of these Scouts is a babe; the other is on the attack. I think I’ll take the one on the left …
Some of the major classes came only from one group of people. The Soldier, Sniper and Medic (another lady gamer) are found below. It seems the Sniper didn’t get the memo that he wasn’t supposed to wear jeans. No worries — the Spy punishes him below.
A couple of sneaky guys decided to dress up as the Spy for Halloween, leaving us to wonder who’s side they were on anyway. One of them also went on an apparent backstabbing spree, killing such diverse victims as the GEICO caveman (African-American, no less), Elvis, and the guys from 300.
Some Demomen and Pyros (one of the Pyros is especially awesome) got in on the action, too.
To round out the class list, some Engineers with varying lengths of beard hair pose for the camera …
Finally, the group shots. Both of these teams look great, and one blue Scout is about to get owned.
Happy Halloween!

Im actually thinking about making a Spy costume, however, I think I will use latex, it seems more like the game’s spy.
Latex as for the mask I mean..

Most people believe helping the needy is very important, it is not the deedthat you provide but how many times. Use the power of the internet to search for more ways to help out, as having a lot to offer is always good.

I have realized that over the course of building a relationship with real estate proprietors, you’ll be able to come to understand that, in every real estate purchase, a commission rate is paid. In the end, FSBO sellers will not “save” the payment. Rather, they try to earn the commission simply by doing a strong agent’s task. In doing this, they spend their money as well as time to complete, as best they are able to, the duties of an broker. Those jobs include revealing the home via marketing, offering the home to buyers, creating a sense of buyer emergency in order to trigger an offer, booking home inspections, handling qualification assessments with the mortgage lender, supervising maintenance, and aiding the closing.
