Team Fortress 2 or Counterstrike Source - Steam

So I have around £15 I can spare fo a good online shooter. I want Cod4 but better more realistic and slower. Ideally I would want Socom. Yes I know that third person but hey. I know I'm askin for a lot with a budget price but Valve's mod are both ment to be pretty good I'm just wondering which is better value. I dont care much for Half Life tbh. So the orange box or CS:s with Gmod? My HF2 experience is form the orange box xbox 360 so unless its a helluva lot better on the pc I'm only interested in the online gaming.

Orange Box/TF2 is incredible value. I would recommend it over CS Source. CS source is a good game to play once in a while, but for some reason I keep coming back to TF2.

Well I am not fussy about gmod it just comes with CS:s I have never played TF or CS so i really dont know what to expect. I wish there was a socom on the PC thats all I want :cry:

CS:S is a great game if you're more interested in realism.zomglolcats

Actually if you want realism, I recommend Red Orchestra. With it you get two free mods that Steam supports. It is a very realistic shooter and extremely fun. It takes some time to get into, but it is well worth it.

If I had to choose between Team Fortress 2 and Counterstrike Source, I would pick Team Fortress 2. The community is more active and there is more gameplay to be found now.

Just speaking stats from steam. http://store.steampowered.com/stats/ CS:Source still has more active players then team fortress 2.

Personally though, you would probably enjoy team fortress 2 more.

I want a game where team work and tacitcs are possible. Wav/round respawn. Third Person? - in my dreams. And has a realistic setting but above all that I want a fun game

L4D wanst my cup of tea on the PC ITS AMAZING! So much fun I dont care about my usual preferances.

same

ive been playing CS since the betas way back in 1999, but I also played Team Fortress Classic.

Theyre both awesome games in their most recent reincarnations (CS:S and TF2), but I keep coming back to TF2. Its just so much...FUN! CS:S is fun, but its also incredibly frustrating lol.

I enjoyed a game called combat arms it was free but the game was pretty fun. If counterstrike is like that but with delayed respawn it sounds fun.

So no re-spawn makes it realistic? Counter Strike is NO WHERE NEAR realistic.

And if you want a Mordren set FPS that is realistic, then I reccommend Americas Army 3. It's has a few bugs, but its a free game.

Maybe I should make a new topic because I want a socom on the PC and well no one can really tell me TF2 or CS:S so I dont know what to buy. Back to Crysis I guess.

The OP Said he wanted something realistic compared to Modern Warfare. CSS is more realistic than MW and TF2. No arguing that.

[QUOTE="morrowindnic"]

[QUOTE="zomglolcats"] Counter Strike has round re-spawn. Once you're killed, you're down for the count, until the next round. That's one of the many reasons I love that game. If you liked L4D you may want to check out Killing Floor.

exactly.

If CoD is arcade

And ArmA 2 is realistic

then CS is somewhere in between those two; its easy enough to pick up and play, yet it incorporates many realistic things extremely well such as bullet-vs-armor behavior, recoil, and damage, among other things.

thats part of the whole r eason I enjoy it; its realistic enough to be challenging, yet casual enough to not have a steep learning curve.

Counter Strike Source is better than TF2, but if you are interested in the single player of HL2, then i suggest the orange box. Basically, if you don't care about the single player games then get CSS. If you think you might get some use out of the single player games then i suggest the orange box.

TF2 is a much better game than Counter-Strike. So if you're looking for replay value, fun, and a game that will have you coming back again and again it is most definitely TF2. I've played CS for a long time, so I know what I'm talking about.DasVolks

TF2 you get butt raped by ppl with inferior skills.

TF2 is the best online game atm imo.

Counterstrike Source is fantastic to though!

TF2 requires more skill than CS:S. You don't get owned by people who suck, unless you actually suck yourself (no homo or unless it's luck, which also happens in CS:S.

*edit* damn forum has the worst code setup for typing messages, can't even put a ) up there.

na uh, I was just playing css was 9-0 against scrubs with a scout and pistol. TF2 is like camp and moar camp and see who uses team work. CSS does not require teamwork, way moar fun.

JigglyWiggly_

Camp? Lulz. Yeah, you've never played TF2.

Teamwork is what makes games like TF2 so great, but I guess that is beyond your comprehension.

Come on guys.. we all have personal opinions on what games we enjoy more or are beter, lets respect each others opinion :D

Im downloading AA3 and I downloaded Combat Arms adn Battlefield Heros. From what I gather BFH is like TF2 and CA is like CS:s so I might have just saved my self some money

TF2 offers more variety while CSS offers zombie escape, with maps like Helms Deep and the Death Star. I would flip a coin.

Get CSS, TF2 is an extremely shallow game that gets boring very quickly.

Get TF2

CS and CS Source communities just serve to piss me off.. 2/3 of the server list is playing dust2 at any given time. There were so many good CS maps that I've simply forgotten the name of since they weren't played.. or they're not in tournament rotation or something :| It's still the better game if you want a competitive platform, but just for fun and variety, TF2 wins easy.

[QUOTE="zomglolcats"][QUOTE="JigglyWiggly_"] Joke? But CSS is the better game, I dun like TF2, maybe cause CSS takes skills lol. CSS is much more of a skill game than tf2. Oh and owning nubs and saying "pz" or "scrub" never gets old :DJigglyWiggly_

....i dont know what the hell youre talking about. maybe the recoil just happened to give you a lucky headshot? that was a lame excuse to bash the game anyway. the first one of its kind actually.
