Valve, creators of bestselling game franchises (such as Half-Life, Portal, Left 4 Dead, and Counter-Strike) and leading technologies (such as Steam and Source), announced today that Mann vs. Machine (MvM), a new co-operative game for its free-to-play online action title Team Fortress 2 (TF2), is now available to download for free via Steam on PC and Mac.
MvM lets you and five friends fight a lethal horde of robots on all-new maps, with the opportunity to upgrade abilities and weapons along the way. Band together to survive all of the robot waves in a variety of missions to earn incredible loot and unlock new achievements.

It's obviously built around the idea of having multiple people play for more firepower. Whether it scales depending on how many people are playing is to be seen, but it definitely doesn't seem to scale for solo play.
I was hoping that I could play this mode solo with bots, but from what others are saying it sounds like I can't. Too bad.
