DISCLAIMER: THIS IS A GENERAL DISCUSSION OF OPINIONS, ANYONE WHO IS HERE TO START A FLAME WAR PLEASE LOCATE YOURSELF INTO A STRATEGIC POSITION 50 FEET ABOVE THE SARLACC PIT.

Sure this is an obvious topic for some, but I like to always see how a community has those divided and those who speak in summary. My first point being that comparing these two games in general is a bad idea.

TF2 is a game centered around points, not kills. You win by capturing objectives before your opposing team completes theirs. Kills are less relevant but still necessary to prevent the opposing forces from taking victory out from under your noses.

COD, which at the point is an amorphous mass, is centered around kills, and while objectives are still present in some game modes, Team Deathmatch and its variations are by far the clear dominating game mode in this IP.

TF2 features 9 classes, with varying degrees of skills required to effectively use stats and weapons to advantage.

COD usually features custom classes allowing a mesh of effective weapon strategies, although this DOES allow people to just put together the least balanced weapons at the time.

If I didn't cover anything post below. If you think I got plenty of things correct/incorrect, post a discussion below, I would like to hear some opinions about this.

Well I can have a lot more fun playing TF2, however CoD is a lot less frustrating and more laid back and relaxed for me so depends what mood I'm in really. TF2 takes a lot more focus and if I am not playing well I can get sick of it very quickly, with CoD though I can pretty much just sit back and enjoy it, even if I am playing poorly I can generally perform better than most people so it doesn't get very frustrating.

I haven't played either game in a very long time, but TF2 is probably the game I'm more likely to get back into.

Oh god TF2 wins by a light year.
Tonnes of game modes, both official and unofficial, more mature peeps (or at least it use to be), tonnes of weapons that are usually unorthodox yet still strangely useful...

And best of all it's free! that's instant win right there!

You know, I don't remember if I said that here in Escapist, but I will say it anyway:

*Copy/Paste from a post from other site, because I am a lazy fat, good looking shark*

---------------------------------------

I really HATE [yeah, ironic I know] that many people hate a series even they DON'T clearly know about the most games of the series had in the past...

I put for that reason the Call of Duty series for an example:

Most of us [and even me], if someone start talking about CoD, you automaticaly know that he mean the recent CoD games, like CoD: Modern Warfare, CoD: Black Ops, etc...

Immediately many people say the series is a piece of sh*t, it had always bad games, etc, etc...

Sure, me myself I don't like the recent games of CoD series........but I don't hate the Videogame series.

As an old gamer, I played the old CoD series. And you know what? They are very good games! My favourite of the whole series is this one:




Great game.

Anyway, my point is the same goes for videogames series like Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Devil May Cry, Street Fighters, X-com, Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Sonic etc.
If only a game or some games aren't good, immediately they bashing the whole series like they was always sh*t or something.......

So please tell me, why so much hate for a specific Videogame series, even clearly most of us, didn't played the old games or most of the games?

I other note, I am not talking for the peoples that indeed played all the games of a specific Videogame series.

------------------------------------------------------------

So, in other words I voted for the REAL OLD COD games.

Call Of Duty. Because I can play it on my Xbox, I can't do that with Team Fortress 2 (well technically I can, but I'd be waiting a year for enough people to get on)

It seems that TF2 is indeed winning in this arms race. How do you feel on the different styles of expanding gameplay? Profit for the company or generalities for the players?
