TF2 With New Engine
Maarten Goldstein

Cold-Ice has an interview with Gabe Newell of Valve on TF2 that's pretty standard, untill the last question in which Gabe mentions Team Fortress 2 will ship with a new engine instead of a reworked Quake2 engine.

5. Has the graphics scaling (detailed up close, bland from far away, for smoothness) just been implemented into a much overhauled Quake 2 engine, or did you design a new engine from the ground-up, or from a different game?

TF 2 will ship with a new engine.

This is the first time I've seen that mentioned (although Gabe could be mentioning new Q2 engine features and not the ones used in Half-Life plus new ones, it's kinda sketchy), but as it's only 8am in the Pacific time zone I can't get it confirmed right now but hopefully in an hour or two we'll see some more on this.
