Poll: The TF2 Insult

[Soulfoodman]

My only complaint about f2p is that the hat we got is ugly. Niftier hat plox.

I only dislike the Uber Update because of Timbuk Tuesday. It's mentioned earlier, but the new Demoman items are game-breakingly dumb, especially if you play pyro. Hurr durr watch me spam charge at you and be able to turn and have full control, plus my new sword will heal me the instant I kill you so you can't even get an afterburn kill. Needs to be patched. That and no Pyro goodies? C'mon.

The rest of the update is largely inconsequential to me. The only new item I want to try out is the Quick-Fix.

Aw c'mon, the "Doughboy/Tommy" helmet is a classic. It looks particularly good on the Sniper and Soldier.

I will agree with you that the Demo items are disappointing though. For a class called "the Demoman," you'd think there would be a focus on explosive weapons rather than melee combat.

Eh. I'm a fan of the sillier / more flamboyant hats. The hat I want more than any other is the Madame Dixie. I would rock that.

Your fear of trolls and griefers is just about as valid as it is with quite literally ANY game. My friend bought Brink just to go online and tell everyone how bad it is; money doesn't stop trolls.

Your friend is a champion.

More people are going to join that's great.
But I don't want new people. A balanced community with most players being likable people was good enough for me. But a bunch of four year-olds who can't open a console and trying to get there fix on free crap will join. But eventually they'll leave and the people who aren't turds will stay for a bit longer.I'd still play Counter Strike more though.

I bought the game about a month ago. I should get a refund.

[DEAD34345]

I only just bought the damn game!

It doesn't actually work properly on my computer, but I still feel like I've been ripped off here...

TBH - I'm actually kinda glad. I've been looking for another title to pick up for MP purposes, because I've simply become absolutely bored with CoD4 and WaW (and I refuse to play any of the newer titles due to lack of DS support) . . . I mean, when you consistently come out of a match of 40+ players within the top 5 every single round - it gets a little boring.

But, due to real life complications, I simply haven't been able to afford the cost of purchasing any new games . . . even out of the bargain bin. So, I've been forced to go back through older stuff I've had laying around (along with my mod work for STALKER). This is prime for me - something new to get into for MP fun.

I intend to give it 2-3 weeks before I really hop on, though . . . give it some time for the servers to simmer down.

Don't get me wrong, I love TF2. It's really the only FPS I have played online for extended periods of time and felt like I got some enjoyment out of it (depending on how I do that day). Unfortunately OP, I don't know who your playing with but the TF2 community was already pretty full of griefers and @$$holes. It's expected that I'm going to drop at least one game in a play session because of retards. Let's be realistic here, the game was $20 for free online play forever, this isn't a large investment. Yes, the numbers are going to spike for awhile and then they are going to drop back down and nothing is going to change.

You know what we get for buying it?

Fours years of playing it and god did I had fun.

 

[pyrrhic victory]

...the only ONLY people with a vaguely legitimate complaint are those who bought the game in the last month, even then they've probably had $20 worth of fun out of it before it went free.

I got it a few months back, and I haven't been able to play it yet. At least I have a vaguely legitimate complaint...

I chose go die in a fire. Not because I don't agree...

Same here.

Fair enough

I still maintain most of the people complaining have already had $20 of fun in the first DAY of play, however

 

[Arehexes]

MMm To bad so sad is all I can say.
Ill be one of those nwbs to jump on the free game bandwagon and I cant wait
I would like to feel sympathy for you for what valve did to you but after Dragon Age 2... well lets just not speak about that.

What happened after dragon age 2?

 

[Kielgasten]

Oh! It´s gone free to play?
Didn´t know, thanks for the heads up

 

[Pontus Hashis]

Free to play is accualy good, becus now I can get my friends to play it =D
And I like the comunity objects, they are fun =P

 

[lumenadducere]

Find a good community or server to play with. That coupled with a few weeks to sort out those who get bored will solve many of your problems.

 

[Sir Boss]

My reaction to hearing it went free play was one of millitant indifference. it doesn't matter to me how many newbies we get, a good game is a good game dammit!

I dont like this new free to play bollocks and i'm sad to see it worm into TF2. I would however prefer to have more perks as someone who bought the game in its infancy.
TF2 is not for everyone; it will be a large shock for the ModernWarfare chumps when they find their health doesnt just regen. Old school medi-packs baby. wOoo~
