I play tf2 :/

Its one of those no skill games I can win at.

looks sweet. I like to play medic class and this seems even better, never liked the seringe gun, looking forward to new weapons.

Sick of following dumb players who just gets us both slaughtered (I know I should just drop em and find a smarter player who wont get us both killed - but I'm a medic, it's in my blood and I feel obliged to help, knowing we are both going to die). Hopefully now I will have a better arsenal to survive the retreat to find a new soldier in need of medic.

PS - not a fan of achievements of any kind. I just don't care about such stuff, would rather just have good teamplay. full stop.

grenades was one of the unique things about tf

I had stopped playing this as I was getting a little bored with it, this peaks my interest.

Me too.

Nades are the only good thing about tf. All the clases are bland and samey. Removing them from TF2 was more dumber than teaming you up with that cow in hl2ep1

Looks good !!

Quite a few achievements to get!

cant wait

then you need to play in proper servers. In servers with decent people, you aren't gonna do well or win with no skill.

How are the classes "bland and samey"? To do well at each class you have to play them completely differently.

ignore iBot, ive become a firm beliver that he doesnt post his opinion, he posts what he thinks will get the biggest rise out of a thread.

Grenades were omitted for a dam good reason. Valve put them in, tested, and removed them as the game was more FUN without them. This game isnt about skill, its about fun. plus, what would be the point in the demo man if everyone had grenades?

But anyway, back on track, this new update is going to be very detrimental to my final exams!

no game used grenades like tf did

the conc grenade was the best thing ever

infact there were whole leagues set up just for people to compete against eachother in concing like footballers or basketballers do in the various skills in their sport

Yeah this is a different game. Its changed and evolved, get over it. You can still play the original so everyones a winner.

GhostTrain · 17 Apr 2008 at 16:29

hardly anyone plays it anymore and there is only 1 league left after valve spent 10 years trying its best to destroy tfc

Tombo · 17 Apr 2008 at 17:14

Who gives a **** about leagues?

I think i can be fairly safe in saying TF2 was never setup with leagues in mind!

Peoples main complaints about TF2 come from a complete and utter missunderstanding of what TF2 is all about!

TF2 IS MEANT TO BE FUN!

Valve already have their highly competition based game in CS:S... TF2 is meant for the masses, meant to be fun, meant to be pick-up-and-play-able. Adding things like grenades and things removes this.

TF2 is not for leagues, TF2 is not mainly for competition. Get over it and play one of the other more competitve based team games out there...

Lol, cs:s is more run and gone than tf2. In tf2 you have to at least have a discussion about what class your all playing and what your roles are. In css you just play it like a death match and hope for the best.

Thanks for the Post Rob, personally I'm very excited about this update and the ones to follow from it. I love TF2 as it is and these changes all look to improve it even more :cool:

i hate what they have done to team fortress
team fortress used to be so unique but now tf2 has turned into just another standard fps
if it didnt have cartoon gfx it would basically be cod4 or bf2
its a shame

I gotta disagree with you 200% there. Do COD4 and BF2 have spys, sentry guns, teleporters, ubercharges, rocket jump, double jump, flame throwers etc?????
No, they have all the same players all with guns that have different properties
