Team Fortress 2! what are your thoughts?

Team Fortress 2 is so fun. ^_^

Does anyone know if PC players will be able to play with console players? or are they even making TF2 for Console?

Also, what are your thoughts on the game? (for some replay value in this thread :P)

It's a little slower than I would like, but it is fun.

The Orange Box is being released on the 360 and the PS3, but there has been no word on whether or not people will be able to play against each other, cross-platform.

And why do you think this? Are you a fan or were a fan of the original TF:classic?

I thought that the classes were pretty well balanced, except for a couple things. The pyro has very little health and his weapons don't really do much damage considering you have to be so close to use them. And the Scouts main weapon is a little powerful. I'm glad they got rid of grenades because they were just spammed and rather annoying imo. They have improved spies though, they were almost useless in classic, and now they are one of the most fun classes.

the orange box is OUT???

what is this online beta?

Yes this is the BETA, if you pre-order Orange box, you automatically get to play the TF2 Beta.

It's a little slower relative to TFC yes, but relative to other online FPS games like BF2, CS, or DoD then it's faster pace. TF2 took away everybody's grenades thus limiting everyones killing capacity and ultimately the overall mayhem on-screen. However, I think Valve compensated this by making the maps smaller as seen quite apparently in the new 2fort, Well, and Dustbowl as compared to their TFC versions.

Overall it's a very enjoyable game, I like the direction Valve went with in this rendition. On a side note to the poster that said "This game suck big time" or whatever, first use proper grammar and second if you're going to post an opinion you should also write why you feel that way. It doesn't help the original poster any bit without supporting evidence.

Yeah I don't find it slow at all either. Maybe they are just playing as Heavy weapons guys? O.o haha.

It is quite a lot faster than counter-strike or DoD.

I didn't like TFC or FF (the mod for HL2 released recently) and i thought TF2 would suck but i preordered the orange box to try it anyways. I instantly loved it an thought the graphics and the menus and the music and animations + the amazing polish the game has for a multiplayer release give the right impression for new players and makes them glad they purchased it and stay playing it , unlike DOD:S.

The c.l.a.s.s balance is perfect with no class being more powerful than the others, however Pyro need a buff simply because he's quite bland and has no advantage like the other c.l.a.s.s.e.s, but thats the only c.l.a.s.s with a problem. I kknow it's only shipping with 6 maps but thats not a problem for me because would you rather 6 great maps or hundreds of crap ones? Anyways a few of the maps have lots of different layouts so they're basically 5/6 maps in one.

I love how theres no nades which IMO ruined TFC because it really made every c.l.a.s.s the same and just all about nade spamming insetad of using the c.l.a.s.s.e.s abilities. However i Demoman still has nades i the form of the nade launcher and i see far too many already so i wouldn't want anymore. I wish however Pyro had molotov cocktails instead of a shotgun, that would give him abit of range.


Also i love all the stat recording it does and it's interesting to see however i would prefered them to record deaths aswel, but no biggy. I love how Valve have taken the achievement idea and stuck it on Steam because it gies you something extra to play for if you wish to.


So overall i love TF2 and a review of the beta i'll give it 8/10 which is amazing for a multiplayer game only.

ORANGE BOX LOOKS AMAZING! ORANGE BOX LOOKS AMAZING! im definately buying it for PC. im trying to save up for and alienware laptop

Pyro just got buffed yesterday actually and his advantage over other c.l.a.s.s.e.s is that he's lethal in close quarters and is the 3rd fastest c.l.a.s.s in the game. 1 on 1 in a corridor and you're probably dead against a pyro, even if a pyro attacks a large group of enemies close together he can at least do a lot of damage before dying.

Hmm... was wondering why you were typing c.l.a.s.s before i posted

The latest update increased the Pyro's flamethrower flamethrower and its damage. He's actually quite lethal now, although you'll still be mostly getting assists instead of kills.

Yeah the forums blocks certain words due to some sorts exploit issue...


What buff did Pyro get? Range ont he flamethrower or damage? I havn't played it for a couple days cause i'm busy making money on tournament.com with CSS lol. The thing i didn't like about Pyro before is he has no personality in his guns i'd much prefer him to get rid of the shotgun and have like i said the cocktails to throw. Also before his flamethrower was like 1m too shrot and in a 1 vs 1 with most ****s he dies because Heavy will mow him down in close quaters and the scout 2 shots and pyro is dead. The Demoman and soldier can both blow him up easy aswel and Pyros is the only ****that can't use his main weapon underwater.

MY stats go like Heavy, soldier and demo man all with 30-40 kills to 0 deaths and Pyro i could only manage 9 and as he's a offensive ****i thought it was poor.

Both, although I don't play as a pyro they're amazing in close quarters now.
