So I just discovered the game that is Team Fortress...

[Csonicgo]

Oh, My lord.

 

If there was ever a Rated-R Pixar movie, I would hope it to be something like this.

 

I haven't had this much fun in years. It's late 60s themed, filled with futuristic weapons that spark and fizzle, and each one of the characters are unique and have hilarious actions and speech they say in game.

 

the Demolitions man (Demoman) is my favorite so far. He's your stereotypical Scottish Nationalist (Although he's black, which throws a wrench into the whole stereotype thing, which is quite hilarious, but this game pulls it off well). He has a custom grenade launcher like the quake version, but it's a hell of a lot easier to control. it's quite satisfying to use the Stickybomb weapon to line a doorway with sticky spike bombs, waiting for the next victim to dare to walk into the room.

 

I know this game came out in 2007, but it's still graphically appealing and the gameplay is really tight (it's still tweaked to this day!).

 

Plus, Americana is jut oozing out of this.

 

I highly recommend this. Does anyone here play this game?

You mean Team Fortress 2. I played Team Fortress back in the 90's. TF2 had been in development nearly as long as Duke Nukem Forever, and I was disappointed in the result. At first, TF2 was pretty fun, but when they introduced unlockable weapons that you had to join grind-parties to earn, they lost my interest.

eh, that's been removed for quite some time. they switched to a more "if you kicked a lot of arse, you get something" system. Idle servers don't work anymore.

SOURCES: my friends when I asked them about this. I could be wrong. I've only been playing since october but really started in May. I had school and left it alone.

 

 

I'm also told that LAN removes all the new guns so you're stuck with the original weapons which are way more balanced. But I love the laser guns so much!

 

EDIT: I played the Quake Version of TF, missed the "newer version" entirely. I heard it was quite fun though.

I dunno, man. Last I read about this game, they were selling in-game bonuses for real-world money.

Well yeah, you can buy super cool "apparel" for your character, but most of the weapons are gotten with achievements or the reward system. There's nothing you can't get for free in the game, sans some silly hats or shirts or whatnot.

 

Edit: Skyrim is the same way now. And so is DOTA 2. looks like everyone is going the "pay 99 cents for cool shoes" route.

After being a huge fan of Team Fortress Classic for Half-Life, this sequel was nothing but disappointing.

 

I still fire up TFC from time to time.

I like TF, and I like TF2, it's more of a simplified version of TF, with a wider appeal. Personally, I think its simplified play is what makes it so fun. it's one of those games that do NOT need a manual. you can just grab a controller and "play".

I tried downloading earlier on all my computers that might possibly be able to squeeze by, but its a no go. all my computers are too slow. I'll be trying when I get a better computer, which is this wednesday . But I've heard tons and tons about this game.
