Valve Gets a Team Fortress 2 Sentry Gun in Office
Bad news if you're wearing blue.
Anyone who has played some Team Fortress 2 will know all about the Sentry guns that the Engineers build. They can be an appreciated ally or a hated enemy, depending on your alignment.
While those sentry guns appear to be just works of imagination, the movie magic wizards at Weta Workshop make it their business to make imagination a reality. The folks at Valve visited Weta Workshop down under in New Zealand and they were impressed enough to commission them to make a real life representation of the Sentry gun.
Judging from the pictures and videos, it looks spot on. So, Weta, got a spare one for us?

Valve visiting Weta? Seems we're getting ever closer to that Half-life movie.
OMG! I so want one!!! Level 3 though please!!!
Cool, does it track motion and makes bang bang noise?
sliem, add a Kinect and I'm sure the motion tracking would be a walk in the park.
That would make for some fun pranks.
That is pretty awesome!

Sounds more like a TF2 movie if they made a sentry gun.....I nominate Vince Offer to play scout. Just type that into goggle to see why.
I want to see a total conversion:

Stop playing around and get the next Half-Life done already.
Wow, they actually made it out of metal too; it's not just some cheap movie prop made of plywood and plastic. Nice job, now start making more and throw them up on eBay.
First the valve. Then the Golden Crow Bar. Now the Sentry. Their offices will soon become a fortress. I am guessing they know how the events of L4D occur and are beefing up their offices for the apocalypse.
I like the sentry gun
I just don't like to read something as old as last week.
In media, the first one who has the news wins.
Tom's unfortunately lose on this one(And many others)

Yet you come here, read articles, and post on the forum.
Tom's Wins!!!!
Well it's not a mini lvl3 sentry, but it's still fracking fantastic
They've gotten it to traverse, but not elevate? Weaksauce for Weta!
The Weta Workshop makes everything cool...
I think they should have least made the upgraded one.
They should have made it shoot Nerf bullets.
This is really amazing!
JK lol That's just the fanboy in me speaking
what made them angry was when someone started bashing it with a wrench and shouted "IT WONT UPGRADE!!!"
Okay Valve - this is kinda cool. Now get back to work and finish Half Life 2 for Gods Sake!
This.
Cool.
But it would have been even cooler if they made a model of the Portal turret, and have it talking just like in the game.
What if we could buy one and put in our own home.
Someone should dress up as an engi (hardhat, overalls, sunglasses) and run up to it and stack whacking it with a wrench.
Need a dispenser here!

Tom's hardware has a somewhat-easy feature with experianced users for their forums and articles to post which makes it favorable. I agree though, they end up being late on alot of media, it's like they can only add 3-5 sets of info per day.
