So, I was digging through the CS:S alpha files and came across a folder with Commando textures for TF2 Invasion period. Out of curiosity, I looked into this folder. Predictably, there was a texture for Commando class, both for the human and the alien teams. But there was also a third variant.
He looks very different from the Commando that we know. He is wearing different, more technological clothes, his head looks realistic, not cartoonish, in general he seems to be from the future. I remembered that we one of the
leaked renders with him. Well, I thought that most likely I found an early version of the Human Commando, like, nothing wrong with that, not only HL2 has its own "Eras" of development.
But this is not the most important thing. The folder contained 2 variants of clothes for this class: one painted red, the other blue. I thought that the developers were choosing the best costume for the character, but then I remembered that Team Fortress is the series of games where RED and BLUE teams are constantly fighting. In addition, the textures themselves is called "t1_body" and "t2_body" where "t" is most likely means "Team". It turns out that in the early periods of TF2 Invasion humans had to fight against each other or what?
I am writing this here because there is literally no information on the Internet about this, and here are people who probably know about this in this site. That is, I am now saying the right things or I misunderstood something. Because with these confusing things of the Valve you can't figure out what is what.
