TF2 or Fortress Forever?

While the TF2 art style and animations are excellent, the game is just far too SLOW. It has most certainly been slowed down and simplified for the console market. That said it can be fun in short bursts but I cant ever see myself playing it for hours on end (the locked fov of 75 doesn't help here either as it makes me feel sick).

FF on the other hand is FAST and what a TF game should be. There as some bugs and missing animations etc but these will come.

FF is the game for me comming from TFC.

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:

You gotta be stupid to think that a mere revamp of graphics can rekindle the same infatuation that died out years ago.

If anything, FF is the fad because once the new graphics fade into the background all you will be left with is the same old gameplay.

Also, people who bemoan the fov 75 are getting their just desserts for using stupid fish-bowl settings in TFC. I played TFC at default fov and to me TF2 looks completely natural.
 
Tried FF on my flatmates pc, its quite cool.

Just played the beta/demo of TF2, wow, I love it :D
Love the art style, the gameplay is frantic and funny. Its just so fun, makes such a change from all the other multiplayer fps games I've played recently that all end up being taken so seriously.

Natural lol? don't make me laugh Human fov is near 180 degrees. TFC default fov was 90 btw which would be acceptable in tf2.
 
fov might be 180 degrees but its not equal and perfect quality like on a pc screen, they'd have to implement some of that active artifical focus effects valve showed off a while back

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.

I'm referring to the original hl tfc mod, as well you know. When you used to wait 5 hours on a 56k modem to update... Aaah bliss.. :p.
How can anyone even suggest that tf2 is better?. My god ARE YOU ALL MAD? :p.

I installed, logged in, thought ;great, been waiting a long time baby, don't let me down'.. Set-up my controls, but no.. Wait.. Where's my gren buttons? (remembering the 3 blips and bang, which really made the game). Alas they are gone, no grens for me, which means... NOOOOOO, no concs!. And why?. Because in reality, regardless of spam etc, tf2 does NOT have the level of player control or manipulation to allow for the use of hings like concs. All of those little intricate things that made tfc (hl1 mod) so great like jumping juuust high enough to get over that river in well with a bit of strafe, clearing the stumps either side of the bridge on rock 2 by jumping and ducking, all of those small satisfying moments, all gone. Because tf2 cannot deliver those. They should have been developed and implemented. Gay.
 
Is it just me or has everyone that is saying "it's too slow" forgotten this is a beta and therefore valve wants our input into the game!

Maybe you should all email them and tell them you think it's too slow and then they might do something about it?

But hey just a thought...

Eh? It's not an MMO.

was just an abbreviaton i tend to use for any big online game, From my perspective TF2 is a more effective faster gameplay (apart from the spawn time).

It depends on your own personal opinion, i didnt really like Fortress Forever maybe because i never played the original Team Fortress who knows, but i really love this game, best shooter to come out in a while.
 
To the OP ... both, I'm very happy with both games and play whichever one I'm in the mood for.

Both have merits and extremely enjoyable.

I'd love to see Rock2 map released in both games ... now that would be fun :)
