Valve Gets a Team Fortress 2 Sentry Gun in Office

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
