Read it and weep!

So long...... oh soooooo long.......... (since before HL1 was actually released!) have I been waiting for TF2 (Oh no.. Oh nooooo no no! not Valve/Pixar's attempt).

Just hope it not going to be great heaping pile of ......


One for those old enough to remember qwTF.
(not Valve's attempt with the makeshift TFC either, still think qwTF would be better, not denying a LOT uglier though)

Now where's my flame thrower!!!

Team Fortress 2 will be a much better game, that's my gut feeling anway. I suppose they want FF out before TF2 just to get anyone playing it all which will be hard once TF2 comes out


Edited for being confused by so many fortresses and teams and and and.... my bain hurts

Basically the Pretty cartoonish one will be better

To be perfectly honest.....

It also comes down to principle in part......

TF2 was PROMISED to be a FREE mod/port to HL1.
That's why personally I bought it on the day of release!!!

How long now has HL2 been out....?

Also FF has been made by the gaming community, rather than as another Cash Cow for Valve to milk by charging for it (will they take my HL1 in exchange...? )

A lot of the success of qwTF, was a lot more down to gameplay rather than 'fancy gfx', which it had to be seeing as it ran on the Quake engine.
Even when TFC came out, qwTF was still ugly as hell but it was much better/fun game to actually play.
^-- All my own views of course. --^


Probably just me being an old git (althogh not as old as some), "When I was lad...... Back in the days of 33.6 (or if you were lucky 56k) modems..... paying for your dial-up/phone calls..... and LPB really meant something...."

/me steps back off the soap box.

The pixar one will suck regardless of the gameplay if the graphics are like that

Sorry to be down on it, but WTF are the devs thinking?!?

See my original post in ref to paying for TF2.
Have to admit that is quite a good price though, even more so as I get discount across the while Virgin brand.

Valve Dev's think....?

Now that is funny!Â

86 pence less than virgin. you get an extra game (albeit a crap one) and you can play the tf2 beta from september 17th.

Crack.....

Sounds like where it comes from...

Just hoping experience will ring true......

Not taking any credit away from Valve with the still much adored CS:S, but for all the 'old timers' where did it come from originally?
Valve did not create it

And for the not so old timers.....
Desert Combat...?
Nowt to do Valve, but you get the idea.

Now Mr.Varp!!! go wash your mouth out with soap!

http://www.fortress-forever.com/
Cheaper than any of the above, it's free!

Not to mention available for download!!!

What is the [C5] position on this?

I am downloading Fortress Forever right now.  I am not really keen on rinsing £15 on TF2, and especially if no one here plays it.

The general feedback so far is that people prefer FF

I've just had a quick 10 minute go, it simply seems like TFC on Source engine.

Have you bought TF2? I am tempted to write it off, but it would be unfair without playing it.

TF2 is a hoot, no really - particularly the taunts (e.g. pyro does a Haiduken tiny fireball effect...though it's all muffled cos of the gas mask) (PS small writing so Ish doesn't shout at me)

Fortress Forever captures much of the spirit of the original game and is free

phew, think I just about got away with that

I will send you the bill for new eyes from squinting so much......

So you are saying that TF2 is better than FF???!!!!

Nowt to get away with there......
Or at least not from me.....
The men in white coats may have other things to say though

On a slightly more serious note, being an old skool (or should that even be pre skool) qwTF player, it all comes down (as with just about every game I've played) to the feel of the game.
TFC was pretty in it's day, qwTF still played better though.

Have not, and unless I visit someone who is willing to fund Valves Cash Cow, will not be playing TF2 in any future, let alone the near future (unless they take back my HL1 and their broken promises in exchange).
So my opinion is obviously going to be biased fully towards FF.

Only time will tell........
Just to add another thing to think of though.....
Anybody remember richochet... another one of Valves own mods? Nope..? me neither
Community mods FTW! (not for profit ala Valve)

Must say from what I've seen of TF2..... It's not Fortress looking in a true sense.
TF2 to me looks more like sending out Special Forces in clown suits!

At the end of the day it all comes down to personal choice, knowing a lot peeps here are CS players, which is total different format of game altogether, some may not like either.

My choice was made long ago!

Fortress Forever! Forever!!

If a C5 branch does evovle, I for one would happily come lay down some Fishy flames of death!!! (Have got quite good already at 2x burn, just a little
I was even camped on defence the other night!!!
Me!!
CAMPED!1!!1!one!!1!

and I actually enjoyed it which is a hell of a lot more shocking!!!
