pffffffffft.Tf2 is in the top 5 most played gamnes on PC. its just in front of bad company 2(4rth
As so many stated.. The share brillianze and uniqueness of this game will make it last for decades to come.. It will outlive any MW or BC to come.. Reason beeing that they are generic shooters where new ones are pumped out yearly.. There is nothing special about them really..
Tf2 on the other hand, there is nothing like it, and it compells to so many ppl because they are actually fun to play wether you are good at it or not.. People play to get away from real life.. If they wanted to fight in a war they would join the army..

Personally I dont think Team Fortress 2 will go anywhere for years to come, just as much as people still play Counter Strike 1.6 when theres now Counter Strike Source, So even if there was a TF3 I think TF2 will be around for a loooooooong time.
If you suck at FPSes, play as Medic. If you suck at aiming, play as Heavy. If you know your stuff, play as Scout. If you know how to sneak, play as Spy. Like to be the sniper? Go as Sniper. Traps? Engineer. Demand a rocket launcher? Soldier. Prefer artillary type weapons? Demoman. Prefer melee? Demoman again. I could go on.Corpse XxX said:
TF2 will never go out of date.
The reason all those complaints exist is because thousands of people play it, and everyone has their own opinion as to how things should work (the majority of complaints usually come from the fact the complainer DUN DUN DUUUH died in a match recently (unfair, right?))
Not to bash Modern Warfare (I didn't like it, but that's not important), but it does not compare to TF2. Not in terms of quality, but the fact that they are completley differnt games. You may as well include Uncharted 2 in the comparison, because it also has multiplayer and guns. That's the similarity between the three.
Thousands (I'd say millions, but I doubt it) of people play TF2 and immensley enjoy it. The game is one of my favourites, and I'm still playing it even now. The COD fans and the TF2 fans rarely overlap, and I doubt anyone at school who plays COD and yaks about that "sweet headshot" or whatever even knows of TF2s existance

I still play it every now and then and there are usually tons of servers available, one of the good things about it is that because the gameplay is so unique and balanced, it is guaranteed to continue to have a large fan base, also the engineer update is coming out soon, which will attract a lot of people back.
Also Saxton Hale is awesome!

I really do have to question...what exactly was your copy of TF2 doing up in the -attic-, unless of course you were just trying to exaggerate the point, the out of date posit and all that xD Still, no, I don't believe so. And actually, without sounding like a loon, I think it's actually quite a timeless game. The basic mechanics are simple to pick up and challenging to master and the art style in my opinion -can't- date unlike say the many many visually dated early 3d games from the early 90s.
Think of it like this: Which looks better, an old Disney film or an old early 3d film? It's always going to be the former barring personal opinion of course, as technology advances, there are going to be better effects, and there are already better 3d films, however, the hand-drawn animations are going to be timeless because they're locked in that one aesthetic that's all theirs. And I think, and hope that TF2 is one of those games that accomplishes that too.

...No, just no.
I can see where your opinion would come from, newer games take the hype and on consoles Valve are a near non entity, but it is not reflected by the facts.
Modern Warfare 1's multiplayer base has died on it's feet, on Steam right now more people are playing X3: Terran Conflict than Modern Warfare. I picked Modern Warfare 1 as you mentioned MW2 and it also came out roughly at the same time as TF2.
Modern Warfare 2 is well on the way to doing the same now, even though every player on MW2 multiplayer has to go through steam, the numbers have been steadily falling for months now. At release it was getting more players than Counter Strike and Source combined, now it barely tops Source most days.
Modern Warfare and similar styled games die quickly, they are not well supported by developers and updates/community support are both thin on the ground. The only reason they dominate console services is because there is no alternative. Also the arbitrary cutting of old games from Live/PSN means their communities are killed point black, it's forced disposable content.
Over on the PC, away from arbitrary kill dates, games maintain their relevance by their community. Counter Strike is still one of the most played games out there because it is immensly moddable, same for Source and TF2, they are kept alive by the people playing them and making new content. They're also kept alive by Valve continuing to update and add new content. Since IW is doing neither of these for Modern Warfare 2 (a few new maps, big woop) it's going to die fast.
Counter Strike, Counter Strike Source and TF2 are going to still be relevant long after Infintiy Ward and Activision have killed off Modern Warfare 2.
Tf2's epic storyline will keep pulling back gamers who have prehaps put it down.
In all seriousness i have not played it too much but did have fun. I also assume it's better on PC as i only have it on the xboox 360

I usually find about 30 servers with low latency and the settings I want.
Well, that's 30 servers when I remove the saigns [https://www.saigns.de/premium/#] bullshit, servers where most players are either too good or just bad, French servers, servers that only play 2fort and every server with some bullshit function or bots.

I to just got tf2 a couple of weeks ago.
Its fun
, thats all there is to it, theres 9 unique classes to master, still a very active playerbase, and great characters.
I cant help but feel there isnt much variety though. I swear 75% of the servers are ALL 2fort (Which i find quite dull), and i can never find anything decent like cp_badlands.

I'm sorry, I can't really comment on the updates. I have friends who play on the PC but I'm an xbox player, and team fortress 2 is my favourite game.
I've heard complaints that the PC updates are overcomplicating things, but like I said, I can't comment on that.
Modern warfare might have more of a fan base, everyone and their mums have played around 'ere, but unlike that, as a game I can't imagine tf2 ever getting old. Its fun, and every time I die there's the 'on the bright side' messages to pick up my spirits just that little bit. There's something really satisfying about killing your nemeses too. :]
Personally, I can't imagine it getting old.
