Yes, it's amazing. All I expected it to be and more. and it's so much better without all the nade spam, even though there were some fun nade spamming moments in TFC. I imagine it will use VAC (Valve Anti Cheat) but I can't recall if the servers were already running VAC or not.
It's still a little buggy at times, but that's beta for you. Other than that it's great fun! I find it better than TFC, I really like how they took some classic maps and revamped them and made them even better!
The one thing that bothers me is how they are going about releasing maps. Only a small handful at the beggening and then more later on. I just hope you won't have to pay for them.

Oh come on... the nade spam made some awesome and hillarious times in TFC. Anoying, but hillarious.

That and demo pack in the spawn room. hehe
I know, and I acknowledged such in my post. But the bad outweighs the good :)
So after you guys played Fortress Forever which do you think is better now TF2 or Fortress Forever and which will be better when all the bugs are finally fixed??
Its amazingly fun, only shortcomings are 2 major imbalances:
Soldiers = Overpowered in the sense that thier rocket launchers will isntant kill you at point blank range but hardly harm him (he should die jsut as easily).
Engineers = Turrets are jsut ridiculously fast/accurate ... render's Scouts useless, granted its a team game, but it kills anyone including heavy weapons guy too easily .. needs toning down.

scout vs turret was the same in TF and TFC. You had to find some silly angle to get your nail gun through and destroy it without it seeing you. Even conc jumping wouldn't get you past them.

The game is only in beta... they only released a few maps for the beta.
And the game is beyond what I expected, the graphics are insanely good, and the gameplay is better... it is one of if not the best multiplayer FPS I have ever played.
I believe they released all the maps for TF2 in the beta and will add more maps for free through the STEAM update service they have for games. So keep an eye out after the TF2 release for any updates it gets, they may include a new map :)
They did this for CSS by adding new maps to the game through STEAM's online updates.
[QUOTE="weirjf"]I'm in the beta, but the damn thing won't run. Crashes on load "hl2.exe has stopped working"
killing me... I played TFC for 5 years so I've been following TF2 since before it originally became vaporwarescottahuch
I feel your pain I can't run the beta either... It crashes on the loading screen, It says I need a Directx 8.0 card XD... time to upgrade... I had some crashing problems at first, too. This was because I wasn't content to load it and just play. I always want to change things like screen resolution and advanced graphics settings. In my case, I found that the game would crash while loading if I had set it to any resolution that is not a 4:3 ratio. I realized this when I went for 1280x1024 (5:4) and it crashed the next time I started it. So I backed it down to 1280x960 (4:3) and haven't had any problems since.
the game is great, it looks awesome, and i can nearly max it out (all settings at max, 4x AA and 4x AF) with my x800pro and it plays flawlessly, zero hicups whatsoever. The game doesn't even feel like a beta. Also, the motion blur looks insane!

On one of the GameSpot live shows, I think it was the EA show, one of the developers said that only a small handful of maps will be made available with the final release of the game and that there will be more to come later.
