Poll: When you think Team Fortress, you think of?

[Knight of Cydonia]

How bad other multiplayer shooters are.

Yeah, I said it.

 

[thirdsonsaburo]

GENTLEMEN?

Usually the Scout.

 

[Apocalypse Tank]

killing someone by going through a teleport

 

[Robby Foxfur]

The spy back stabbing people of course. "Right behind you"

 

[CheesusCrust]

The blue heavy comes to mind.

 

[Yeslek Ssomllur]

I think of empty XBox live servers.

 

[thepj]

fun but mostly sniper cause of those bloody hats....

 

[cthulhumythos]

stacks of hats and Saxton Hale.

 

[strum4h]

I am going to have to say the original team fortress because that is what I played before TF2. Took them long enough but it was well worth the wait.

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

The Heavy. Followed immediately by the fact that I could never get into that game.

 

[PotatoLord]

Hats. It IS a first-person hat collecting simulator, after all.

 

[BlumiereBleck]

Boring....thats my opinion on it

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

Mentlegen?

The spy, but I mostly play as the Engineer

 

[Doclector]

Crazy dance parties in twofort.


Also, Heavy's multiple internet cameos, overworked medics, people who are deliciously oblivious to obvious spies, and neglected console ports.

 

[cartographer54]

I think of my overenthusiastic friends.

 

[Irridium]

Yep, I went there.

 

[The Shade]

I think of the RED Sniper on 2fort, looking down the scope at some unsuspecting bastard on the BLU ramparts.

 

[Browbeat]

I think of the decade of development hell the game went through, the promises, the ads, the dreams, the realism it could have portrayed... I think back to Half-life: Counter-strike and Blue Shift... I think back to Half-Life 2 and the praise it received - and TF2 was still just whispers in the mists...

Oh, and the PC Gamer article back in February (2001?) that described the crew's tactics when playing Team Fortress Classic 'The Hunted' around the office.

"Oh my God!... DOT! DOT!!! I'M BEING SNIPED!!!"
