TF2 (split from screenshots thread)

[Captain2]

Well TF2 doesn't still have people playing it simply for its style of animation, it must be doing something right

 

[azzaman333]

I don't see how FF being on influences Teamwork.

Two pages without screenshots... I'd post some but I'm hurried.

- You have medics in BF2, doesnt mean their worth jack squat most of the time. Unless you find a good squad or play with friends, you are screwed. Retards are everywhere, including TF2, with people shooting the ubered heavy instead of the medic. I so wanted to choke these idiots.

- And you dont like FF because you end up shooting your own people? Well GG.

I know only the Demoman has nades. But looky there a Soldier with a ridiculous rocket launcher, spam awaaaay. Or a pyro, let loose the flaaames. Even the heavy with it's suppressive fire. The only thing TF2 has going for it is it's graphical style and light, amusing atmosphere. UT (the later versions) has better hectic team action. Onslaught/Objective anyone?

Medics in BF2 afaik have to go up and heal the person, medics in TF2 have a nice medigun that heals people fro ma distance and can heal multiple people in rapid succession. Yes there are plenty of idiots still, but like any game you need to find a good server with good players.

TF2's graphical style is nice yes but that is hardly the only thing going for it. Yes a lot of the weapons are spammy but wait... so are SMGs, assault rifles, grenades and machine guns found in more realistic games! Hell, the ENTIRE PURPOSE of a machine gun is to SPAM BULLETS!

A lot of shooting is to simply pin the enemy and force them to either surrender, withdraw or be flanked and destroyed. Certainly far less are used to kill someone in even TF2.

You're just being a nitpick. TF2 is a good game, and there are plenty of ways to mod it to your liking. DOnt want to mod? Your problem.

 

[Maniacal]

I don't recall there being any mods that change the basic gameplay mechanics, and VALVe constantly breaks even simple mods in it's updates...

 

[LightFang]

I don't get why anyone would not play TF2 just because it doesn't have FF. Really.

FF fits with the Counter-Strike atmosphere.
It doesn't fit with the TF2 atmosphere.

Both games encourage teamwork. It's imperative!

Thanks to the mod who split this

I like how in hoodoo on the 2nd stage red team can noclip to the ceiling of the last section and build sentries in the air.

 

[carmen510]

Just to brag, I have every achievement for every class except the Chief of staff for Medic (1 million heal points, has anyone legitimately gotten that?)

 

[Maniacal]

People who play medic a lto sicne have gotton it. I rarely play medic though.

Too late, and apparently after the thread split, I became the defacto thread starter .

I got that a long time ago.

 

[mythmonster2]

Actually, I posted that before the split. Guess it got in here by accident.

 

[MrPopov]

Does anyone else know about this? Is this something that has been/is going to be changed (fixed some may even say)?

Basically a spy with the dead ringer engaged begins his knife taunt (which kills), enemies shoot at him triggering the cloak, however the taunt is still going so often times confused enemies will try to walk past him and end up getting taunt-killed.

That was fixed a month ago. Also when the Spy/Sniper update came out you could taunt while invisible, that's how I got my Deep Undercover and The Man From Puncture achievements

Somehow, I got the The Man From Puncture achievement by taunting at a Pyro who was on idle .

 

[azzaman333]

I get those achievements by playing on surf servers.

i nowadays play tf2 competitive (yeah lol derpaderp) and the amount of teamwork required is so great. and whoever said the blutsauger is useless, is an idiot. medic isn't a combat class, but with practice it's a very potent weapon. hell, if solo taken out lvl3 sentries with it.

 

[azzaman333]

Competitive CS:S > competitive TF2.

You have over FIVE HUNDRED HOURS OF MEDIC. The needleguns are still completely and utterly useless to me.

Competitive CS:S > competitive TF2.

lolcss

From what I've heard, from my roommate whom one of his best friend's played CSS competitively it's less about teamwork and more about knowing EVERYTHING about the map, seeing a pixel of the enemy's shadow as he nears a corner and having incredibly rediculous reflexes. In fact, enither of them have mentinoed anything about the rest of the team.

 

[azzaman333]

Then it's likely your roommate's friend was never in a half-decent team.

And I'll stop derailing the thread now.
