TF2?

[Mordwyl]

I'll be frank, I hate first-person shooters. Originally the only reason I got the Orange Box was to try out Portal and never touched HL2, its episodes and TF2. All that changed after I accidentally turned on the game and said "Screw it, since it's running I may as well give it the benefit of the doubt". A standard 10v10 round of Badlands as The Medic was all it took to sell me.

When considering the quality of a game objectivity is mandatory. Everything Valve did for this game is a winning formula.

what is with all the love for TF2?
when i got the game, i went into it expecting it to me pretty awesome, from everything people say. but when i actually playing the game, i found its sorta boring...
am i wrong and just ignorant to its awesomeness? or is it just not as good as people say?

yep, your ignorant. sorry dumbass

Oh, the irony.

your the one who cant enjoy TF2

Please learn the difference between "your" and "you're". Thanks.

P.S. You replied to the wrong person, I love TF2.

TF2 is a... well all I can say is it is TF2.

Had it gone the realistic graphic route, with nothing else changed, I would of found it bland to say the least. Probably get frustrated that the weapons behave so poorly, that the maps are so atypical and that the objectives are so out-dated. I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole.

But... that cartoon-like feel makes it all appropriate. It really isn't anything flash itself, just the way it is presented makes it wacky and that makes it unique and the short commings seem less... badder?

Boring, you bet you it can get boring at times but what game doesn't?

It's a different kind of FPS, as some people have already said. Being class based allows you to pick a specific role within a team, which for me is half the fun

i guess i would have prefered if it had a bit more liberal class system, like Battlefront 2 (my 1 favorite shooter)
tho what turns me off so much might be in large part with how poorly the weapons perform,

I don't understand this talk about 'poorly performing weapons', they're responsive and accurate so I'm not sure what else you could want from them. They are rather idiosyncratic - they aren't realistic by any means, but they stay true to the game's Quake roots which is part of the pace and balance of the game. Let me know if there's something I'm missing here, but it seems like people are complaining that the guns aren't similar enough to the guns in other games. If that were the case, I'd find the game pretty damn boring myself.

They aren't Call of Duty laser rifles that's why, heh. If you come from a counter-strike or COD background it can be akward. I know it was to me at first. Then after I got used to it I had a grand time. Haven't played it much lately though, been into other games. But it's always something I feel I can go back and play.

I suggest you just mess around in it with your best friend when your fucked up from either sleep deprivation or some "other" meathod. it makes it much more fun when you are not serious.
EDIT: O shit iv gone gonzo

 

[Altaries]

I love TF2 and it's class based gameplay,they all have different playstyles and personalities,That's why I love it :3

 

[Flying-Emu]

Obviously you just need to play Scout more.

 

[necromanzer52]

I play it on occasion and I have some fun with it.
The class system is very well done.
But I just have a lot more fun playing halo 3 online. Perhaps it's because I'm good at halo and a total newb at TF2. Who knows.

 

[mikecoulter]

There is one sole reason that TF2 is great.


No, fucking, grenades!, minus Demoman, but his grenades are kinda short range and limited to solely one class.

I must admit, grenades are beginning to get a bit annoying on TFClassic...

 

[AlphaOmega]

It is not for everybody I admit that, but it is a very well balanced FUNNY and great looking game.

Also the only multiplayer fps game I can stand...

SPAH SAPPIN' MAH HEARTBEAT MONITAR!! But seriously... I guess that's the difference. Maybe I don't mind because I went from playing Doom to Quake, to Half-Life, to TFC, then to Counter-Strike and later Battlefield 2, so I'm used to a whole array of different weapon styles. Yes, I can say with complete confidence, if someone's complaint about TF2 is the style of weaponry, there isn't much hope of them ever enjoying it because the balance of the game is perched on the classic Quake-style firing and movement. Now, if someone wanted to make a CS/TFC crossover that incorporated slow movement, realistic weaponry, and a collection of goofy payload maps, I'd certainly try it. But I'm guessing I won't be playing it for more than a week.
