Part of Valve's genius marketing! There are more funny videos with Team Fortress 2 but my favorite has to be the one with the spy.

That's some crazy bullcrap hype marketing as it still uses the CPU thoroughly for the simple vertex flex keying that is the Source facial system. Source is a CPU sucker, it makes me wonder if it's even using hardware T&L these days also. Some claim Pixel Shader 3 makes the faces move better too, but that's also silly too. Consider that TF2 has simpler morph targets than HL2 did, it makes it look even more ridiculous

IT'S JUST VERTEX MORPHINGS
