TF2 made into an RTS game?

[Armored Baron]

So I was in class today and this idea hit me, think about it for a second, you can design your own base (spawn) and you can make and control multiple classes from bird's eye view and even group them into squads (?), you can customise them with different weapons, hats and miscs and every class will have special abillities (like soldiers can rocket jump to places, pyros can airblast stuff, engineers can build buildings, demos can lay ambushes and traps and so on) that it can use and every class will do what it does, I mean the gameplay will be just the same except you can control a whole team from bird's eye view and maybe CP could be resource points or something like that (btw taking this idea from Company of Heroes)? I know it sounds kinda fantasy driven but I think it's a good idea, at least an interesting one, maybe even somebody will pick this up and make a game (Valve, please) and I think it can even use the Source engine, if Dota 2 uses it. This is coming from a huge RTS and FPS fan and there have been a few mixes of the 2 like Natural Selection but I think making an FPS into an RTS will be a first time try, no? And why wouldn't the test dummy be TF2? I mean, the game is popular and it has funny looking cartoon graphics and I bet it can be more competitive than what is atm. Please tell me what you think about my idea and thanks in advance for reading!

Have it based off of Lambda Wars (or as it used to be known Half-Life 2 Wars), an RTS set in the half-life universe, using the rendition of source that was used to make Alien Swarm, just like Lambda Wars did. I had this same idea and thought it would be really fun.

Haven't heard of it, but will check it out, thanks.
