It's a matter of taste I guess. If you've been playing nothing but the most recent Multiplayer games then yes it will \be completely different. But its charm and style is undeniably fantastic, and it really is a team game and hell most balanced class game I've ever played.
The hell are ya waitin' for?! Go play some awesome TF2!legion431 said:
If you want good servers look for SourceOP, they have a bunch of great servers, the ONLY problem with them is they're popular so they're typically packed. Especially the 24/7 2fort instant respawn.
It is about the only multiplayer fps I enjoy (the only other being Golden Eye), mostly because it discourages the lone-wolf maverick behaviour you get from typical competative fps players. Instead, the light mood and colourful excesses encourage people to stop and goof around and enjoy one another's company. Lots of the elements which discourage new players (grenade spamming/sniper freaks etc.) are prevented, so you get the whole gamut of player standards and never feel like a third wheel.
Saying that, I often fail to do anything useful for my team because I am such a liability (taunting in the middle of battle, trying to box enemy who shoot at me etc.). But that never seems to mar my enjoyment. It is one of the few games where being killed will not irritate me (instead I'll often laugh).

It's okay. For teambased multiplayer it's damn good, but I prefer either plain coop or single-player. Still, I have it and I play it every now and again (as in maybe once or twice every second month or so).
Tried the spy once, sucked ass beyond all recognition, went back to sniper and scored some headshots.
Anyway, I got it free with the orange box and it's worth the disk space, so enjoy.

I dislike the system for attaining the unlockables, but I love what they do to the classes... they change up the way the classes play in such a way that it shifts the meta game.magicmonkeybars said:
but if you dislike a living metagame, then I can see why you'd dislike them.
they needed to give Demo Man back his Mirv Grenades... that's all I wanted to see out of the Demo Man Update.Vaccine said:
No sword or shield, just give me mirvs.
Yeah, that's the good thing. You go onto on to some FPS i.e Medal of Honor(PSP) and the moment they frag you, you die.Vaccine said:
Its fucking eshay! Varied multiplayer classes, great maps and a awesome community. The perfect multiplayer game argueably.
Firstly look at UT, it was also built around multiplayer (face it, my name clearly indicated I was gonna go for UT) and yet had bots that were as smart, if not smarter then real people. They even taunted you. Thing is I'm talking about the original, released back in I think 1999. So when a game with multiplayer comes out and there's no bots I think I have a reason to be dissapointed.Mantonio said:
As for the graphical styles let me put it to you like this. I'm open to all types of graphical styles, from Jet Set Radio Future to ARMA 2. Thing is I don't mind the cartoony styling of JSRF on the grounds that it was not an FPS. For FPS I tend to prefer games like Far Cry 2, Crysis, Cryostasis, Operation Flashpoint 2, ARMA 2. I just have this issue where certain styles work only for certain game types for me.
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
Part of enjoying TF2 is playing as part of a team, and until you are familiar with the roles the different classes fill on a well balanced team it can seem like you aren't making much of a difference.
So yes, it's fair to say you are ignorant to its awesomeness and probably should 'rtfm'. Maybe not the manual, but at least a couple class guides. I suggest starting with the pyro or heavy.

I found it boring, too. I just couldn't get into it.
Ignorant doesn't mean stupid.ThePostalDude said:
