I like the theme the game has and the art style and the characterisation and stuff.

Everytime I try to play I get kicked out of the game for some reason so I have no (informed) opinion on this game

Well to me it's the most addictive, college ruining game ever, so yeah I'm kind of in love with it. Makes me sad that my comp is really holding me back though, because when my frame rate dips I start sucking, bad. Man, I need a new one...

Might be because we have our own Escapist TF2 servers. (85.13.254.51:13013 for the UK based one)

We organise games in this group [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/chat/The-Escapist-Team-Fortress-2-Group-PC] and then head on over. Come join if you feel like playing with other Escapists, we're friendly!

The art style.

The art style.

The art style.

Seriously...I wouldn't play it without that.

Think I might have clocked 5 mins playtime with it. For example I like l4d2 a lot more. It has a nice visual style...and probably a great balance (?) but it just hasnt hooked me. Its not bad...just meh.

Never even played it. But it seems that in every thread that gripes about a certain aspect of a game, there's always several "DURR HURR YOU DON'T GET THAT ON TF2" posts.

I have, however, watched the "Meet The..." videos. They're pretty good.

Edit: By the way, "because [insert obscure TF2 in-joke here]" is not very compelling evidence to those of us who haven't played it.

SANDVICH PAWNCH!!! Way more effective then a FALCONE PAWNCH! Also Sandvich!!! That's the most powerful weapon IN the game, much more stronger then a tactical nuke! Also there's more then just regular maps like 2fort, there's surfing, prop hunt, and many more custom maps

Honestly I should hate it. The game play is childish, the weapons function so poorly and the limitation of the classes means there is very little flexibility in tactics you can employ in a successful way that it becomes... predictable. Sentry X will usually be in position Y and heavy A is going to be chew you up if you don't deal with dedicated medic B for example.

Yet, YET... I like it. The cartoon implementation makes these obvious flaws seem... well appropriate! The childish game play is suitable for such childish art style, it is like your in a cartoon and the limitations are those you would find in a cartoon universe. Over all this makes it a fun little game to play and one you tend not to care about stupid things like K:D rates... though as a engineer I don't have to worry about that in any case, my sentry beats your... everything... any day.

Can't wait till engineer patch comes out, then this dedicated engineer will have even more things to ***** and complain about. Fun times to be had!
