TF2 or Fortress Forever?

Coming from someone who's played TFC at a high level since its release, I prefer TF2. Ok.. so FF recreates the original impeccably and for that i salute it. However I've been playing the damn game for nigh on 8 years and as much as I love it I need something fresh.

If there had been no TFC, and FF and TF2 had been released simulatenously i'd probably be playing FF. But in reality I'm gonna learn to love Tf2 cos I'm tired of concing and spam and stuff. It's just boring now.
 
TF2 for me hands down, played FF for about an hour and i didnt like the gameplay, was a bit to slow for me (yes i said slow)

TF2 has a better gameplay experience and is really funny to play, hearing your character laugh, taunt and cheer on comrades after you kill a load of enemies is just fantastic, weapons are really nice and smooth to use.

TF2 will be my favorite mmo for a while.
 
Suppose we'll have to see how it goes over the next few months.

I'll probably end up leaving them both and going back to css anyway :D

tbh because its more fun to play the visuals are superb, i like it as it dont take it self too seriously.

btw i love the british spy accent on the radio commands and the way the enemy sees the spy as one of their own but his team sees him the same but with a mask on :D
 
TF2 is a huge disappointment to me. And would be to any true TF fan (I personally played TF constantly for many years and felt that the controls/ingame movements became entirely seconds nature). The same level of control and character movement isn't available in TF2, and to be frank, anyone who would even suggest that there is needs to take a step back, and realise that they are an idiot :p.

Gonna give TFF a go tomorrow, hoping it's a little more like the original, which I will also be playing tomorrow :P.

it seems we got some people who just can't move on from the old game. Expecting the old one with basically updated graphics. Whilst some others are tired of the old and enjoy the new one.

I personally think the diversity given in TF2 plus the nice graphics and general fun aspect to it make it a great game. It's certainly grabbed hold of me and made me want to play it loads. Have been on it all night.

Any true TF fan would know that TFC isn't the original. (You'd have a hard time finding someone to play the original against tomorrow, unless you're playing MegaTF or somethin, which isn't the original either). As a hardcore QWTFer, I find TF2 much closer in 'feel' to the original game than TFC or FF are/were. It's not perfect, but it's the most fun I've had playing a Fortress game in many years.
 
TF2 is deffinetly better than Fortress Forever.. its simple, well balanced lovely level design and simply works well.

I think FF over complicates everything.. and ultimatly fails to be fun and just becomes more of a chore to play. But i did feel a bit like that with TFC.
 
I used to play TF for HL years ago but my clan was HL:DM so the style of game didn't keep me interested for long. In this vein I didn't expect much from TF2, but i've got to say that I absolutely love it - to that point I noticed it was 3:30am and i'd been playing for 6 hours! (and had work in 3! :D).
It is a very different game to TF's of old, so it should be judged on it's own merits. Then 20s timer is restrictive, but It does stop the constant zerg so its not all bad, I actually love the changes to the medic too. Healing doesn't sound much fun, but keeping someone topped up and then shielded is actually quite satisfying in this game.
I've also got to say that the style (from gfx, to voice, to animation) is also superb and adds a lot to the game - and it seem's they are trying to integrate xbox kind of achievements and stats/profiles in which I like too. This seems to suggest it'll go to console too - hopefully they'll have shared servers.
Perhaps this game won't attract the old hardcore, but it'll definately generate a new hardcore -i'm looking forward to clan games already.
 
TF2 - Haven't had this much fun playing a multiplayer game since playing Goldeneye on the N64 back in the day.

FF is a good game aswell, but they've got rid of all the crap (in TF2) that was annoying in TFC, granted I never really played TFC but the nade spam and conc jumping just removed a lot of enjoyment out of the game.

FF is a fantastic remake of a fantastic game, but TFC really shows it age now and things have moved on a lot.
TF2 takes all that is good about the original/s, simplifies it, distils it and covers it in so much garnish it's just unreal. Yes, I can understand why the self-titled TFC "elite" aren't massive fans of some of the changes (nades, concs etc) but at the end of the day this isn't a remake and things have moved on a lot since QWTF and TFC; criticising TF2 for being different -as some people have decided to do- really is rather silly.

Anyway, back to fraggin' and spamming taunts =)
 
Loving TF2 and i still cant believe i have half life episode 2 and portal to come as part of the package, bargain city, nice one Valve.:D

Just because some of us question the changes made, it doesn't make us "self-titled" elitists :rolleyes: I guess some of us expected a little more from 12 years of development. What has actually been brought to the table? Slower game play (I thought fortress games were suppose to be fast-paced?), no grenades, slight class changes and graphics improvements. I don't question it's a good game nor do I mind change, the change just needs to be positive, worth the wait and the money.
 
Fortress Forever all the way :D

TF2 will be a fad to most people i guarantee, where FF has the potential to be a long running game with many leagues and constant play such as the old TFC.

You gotta be stupid imo if you like TF2 :eek:
