You have to be joking right? Based on the play time in TD2, TD1 is so much more refined as its had more time to develop. I cant deny the gun play and cover models are amazing, but they have already nerfed how hard the NPCs hit - it was fine beforehand. It's not TD1 and at this point in time cannot match how much fun it was.
You do realize its Beta and it takes them feedback (point of Beta really) and probably 1h to change difficulty?
Thats exactly what happened after Private Beta.
Why should i be joking? I played 2.4k hours in TD1 from very first Aplha and gone through all 1.1-1.3-1.8,i dont need to be told what it was.
I like TD2,just like many others,because it feels TD and it is TD,different,but still TD.
People need to not judge by Beta how game will be after release - its not Doom,here will be nerfs,will be buffs etc.Just like any other RPG based game
