The same with the m14.

There were semi-auto M14s issued IRL. The gun was actually more effective IRL when it was limited to semi-auto for the same reason every version of the M16 except the first was limited to 3 round bursts: it encourages aiming rather than spray-and-pray.
The G3 thing pisses me off though. That was one of my favorite guns in the HL mod Firearms. To see it nerfed so... it breaks my heart. Also it's lame sound effects.
Meh. I stopped playing COD4 months ago because of the 'nade spam, poor maps and horrible weapon balance.

Well, there's meant to be, but it's dissapeared somehow... apparantly it'll be back up at some point.Lord Krunk said:
No, you dummkopf. These people go off to play Sniper,silly-billy. Sure they are helping their team by 1) Eliminating other Snipers 2) Owning Heavies and Medics and Demomen but it's just a side effect.Dommyboy said:
As for server, we don't need a new one.We could just start a clan and raid empty servers every once in a while.Alternatively we could piss some people off by stacking too.
Also OP, need any advice - feel free to ask.While I'm not a pro at the actual game with Offensive Engie,Offensive Medic and Pyro being my main classes,I've chewed through every game guide and TF2wiki so I know A LOT.
I thought the Spy was a Spaniard!
Regardless I think I might take up that gaming experience if I can get the cable Internet going again. Even though I'm a bit older than what my mom would tut-tut over my gaming choices, I still don't like blood. But I do hearsay of this "PARTY-Mode".

Yes! finally i was finally starting to wonder if anyone at this website even owned the orange box 4 the 360 since most every one here seems to own a super computer able to play Crysis without framerate hiccups.I'd love to play Tf2 with you sometime but unfortunaly my mic broke and the team part has been cut out because of itgr33ny76 said:
I've never played this game, but been interested for quite some time now. I think this review, and comments after it may force me into buying it afterall. Great review, thanks for the insight.
It's highly beneficial to one's enjoyment of the game to see if you can get a group of friends going to play it regularly. Even if you don't have a bunch of people nearby who want to play, it's usually easy to find some more vocal players, add them to your Friends list, join their servers, or even find a casual clan.
One thing I've noticed that many people don't do is use their clan's chatroom. Either in the massive clans (like Whirlpool) or in smaller ones, whenever I'm on the clan page checking out whoever sent me an invite, or the group that my friend is in, noone's having a talk. Which is disappointing, because the group I'm in uses the chat all the time, and we find it to be amazingly beneficial to coordination of gameplay and general bonding between members. Highly recommend Steam's community overlay and all features that are involved with it.
Other than that little addition I felt compelled to make, your review was pretty good. I try hard to be helpful when I play, and if someone tells me they're new, great. New people are what keeps the game going strong. Hope to see you keep playing, Serendipity.
Oh, and Heavy's achievement pack will be out soon (hopefully in the next month or two). To date, two classes which noone played (Medic and Pyro) have recieved updates containing 30-35 Achievements, and some weapons which are unlocked once you have 10/15/20 achievements. These weapons aren't "better", but offer drawbacks. For example, the Medic, upon reaching 15 achievements, recieves the Kritzkreig, which replaces the standard Uber, which is 10 seconds of invulnerability, with what I like to call the Kruber, which gives 10 seconds of 100% critical hits (~300% damage). It doesn't give invulnerability, so it's useless against Sentries or in the face of a Pyro, but in the right situations, it's brilliant. Seeing an allied Soldier or Heavy annihilate four to eight players in the space of 10 seconds is an awesome sight to behold, and an amazing boost for whichever team you're on.

Nice work mate...that was a great article...
As a Counter Strike player gone TF2 (thankfully), i can safely say the stereotype of the online gamer is a very real thing. Even though CS is a team game, I find it revolves more around the individual experience. CS is a game where one freak can demolish an entire team (if they play their cards right). Their ego through the roof, they rage on anyone with lesser skill.
In TF2 however, no one player can win. It's something of a humbling experience having to rely on team mates to succeed. There's less of the mega elitists and people can be competitive without acting like jerks.
Glad to hear your 1st online gamer experience wasn't ruined by CS players.
(Note: I've met many friendly, helpful and decent CS players...but angry egomaniacs are rampant)

I have found that with the TF2 community if you are going to be abusive you have to be equally funny.
