China Rips Off Team Fortress 2

[headshotcatcher]

OP: They all look like fire fighters....

It seems to be what they were going for, especially with the fire axe


OT: Yeah it's pretty shameless, but it's probably a replacement for TF2 that can't be played there or something, though I'm wondering what it will end up looking like

They also ripped off Battlefield heroes.
The map is stolen so EA will sue their asses to the moon.

Well the main reason people find Hitler bad is not because he killed people but because he went after specific groups with ruthless efficiency but that is why people like him less than say Stalin who killed more but they were his own people.

OT: Maybe we will finally get a Meet the Pyro and a Meet the Medic video?

 

[Wintermoot]

they even ripped of the rocket launcher model and SFX!
valve should sue them.

sadly nobody does that.
for some reason China is immune to copyright laws.

lol it's funny when China does it but if anyone else does everyone get's pissed...<.<

This.

I hope the dicks responsible for this clone get sued into the streets by Valve.

 

[Dr. Pepper Unlimited]

Not surprised. China rips off everything. The mustache on that guy really, really bothers me though. I don't know why, but it looks really out of place.

Well, if you know My Life As A Teenage Robot; China is sort of like Killgore in this regard. They try so hard, but fail so horribly. I mean, just look at that video, it's like they didn't even bother covering it up. It's so hilariously fail.

lol yeah it's worse than Chinese Gundam...<.<

some1 need toi go and kick china in the head. Intellectual property theft is just not cool. Valve put timeand effort into making their game, and that effort should be respected, not stolen.

China have no respect for intellectual property law at all, and there's nothing anyone can do about it. It's been that way for a long, LONG time. They're truly shameless.

 

[PoweD]

Hahaha that's awesome.
They don't even care to replace the announcer:
They just don't. Care.

Oh god.
The maps are just Battlefield:Heroes villages with barred exits!

 

[Pedro The Hutt]

OH WELL

Lots of Games Copy each other this is no different

Not quite. It's one thing to use a concept or idea from another game for your own. It's another to steal sound effects, designs, concepts, maps and whatever else from another game. That's downright plagiarism. And y'know, kind of something that can get you sued.

 

[StANDY1338]

So sorry to bring this up but is it a soldire or a firefighter?

Ok looked soldireish then all of a sudden a fire axe?

 

[C-Mag]

Screw China, it's communist, therefore evil, this is proof.

The Facebunch TF2 board is really covering this, they literally ripped the models from the rocket launcher, sticky launcher, flamethrower and tons of other weapons, as in they are EXACTLY THE SAME. All of that really pales in comparison to directly ripping the lines from the announcer though, I mean come on!

But yeah, if China is immune to copyright, that really annoys me. Bloody communism!(Though China is less communist and rally more like a massive corporation.)

 

[lcyw20]

What we all have to remember here is that China doesn't give a damn either way, they say they crack down on IP infringement but they don't because if its being made in thier country they're not losing money due to imports.

The government is more concerned about censorship. I really rather they put their efforts into important things, but they act like a gang, intimidating people who dares to speak up against them, and not remedying real problems, of which there are many. I should stop here, as this is off-topic.

Hahaha that's awesome.

They just don't. Care.

Are those maps from Battlefield Heroes?
Damn they have no shame.

 

[Toxic_Dynamite]

Rip-off big time.Even the latest kills stats look like something you'd see in TF2 or CS or any other Source online game.But yeah, no one seems to get pissed off when China does these things.

You can't blame 'em. In the confines of the Great Firewall, people can only get their hands on crude imitations of western games, WoW is expansion packs late, and the People's Liberation Army is releasing their own CoD-style first person shooter called Glorious Revolution. It's an illusion of free media that the Chinese government tries to project to its citizens; a cheap knockoff of American media and society.

If my grandparents didn't jump the border to Hong Kong, I'd be stuck in a communist dictatorship playing a bland knockoff of a great ORIGINAL game.
