Why do people like Team Fortress 2 so much?

It has such a huge following and I've tried to get into it multiple times, but it just never stuck. If you're one of the fans of TF2, what is it that you love so much about it?

same here...i dont like it at all...i consider it a childs game

I don't know. I think it's really boring and overated.

• The gameplay is so smooth and fluid, as is the graphics engine.
• Weapons are nice.
• The gameplay is unique.
• The classes are fun to play.
• There's some nice strategic elements to the gameplay and classes.
• Hats.

Console version is unbalanced and has way less content than the PC version.

Did they even update the ps3 version like ever? 6 maps and dead servers would suck.

I maybe wrong but there could be vanilla servers still floating around on pc.

This.

Also it is a lot of fun to just play with a community of people you like.

If you find the right server it's fun. I get bored on servers where nobody talks and it's really quiet.

I also like playing mods (tfdb, prop hunt, vsh). The game can go from relaxing to intense.

-dxlevel 81 parameter is valid for source

"The principle difference between DX8.0 and DX8.1 is in the pixel shader and vertex shader specifications. DX8.1 pixel shaders provide more texture inputs, larger maximum program length, and unlimited texture addressing modes. Certain bugs found in DX8.0 have been fixed in DX8.1.

I got bored of it after 30 hours personally, but I still play it with friends a fair bit. I think the main draw (for me at least) is the fact that it is so teamwork focused, and the design of the classes and maps kinda forces you into teamwork (with a few exceptions). It also has some hilarious voice acting.

Well balanced class-based gameplay, plenty of interesting and unique maps/modes, a dependency on team skill and strategy and no dependence on modern "realistic" FPS mechanics. Lots and lots of weapons and hats to collect doesn't hurt either.

Very boring game in my opinion.

The original was okay.

I personally prefer Fortress Forever because I like the fast-paced gameplay and Quake-esque acrobatics much more than TF2. Not to mention it actually harkens back to the older, original Fortress Games, unlike TF2. :?

However, some friends want me to get back "into" TF2 to make a team on the side. Are there any configs that would give my crap machine a good, consistent FPS? 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT 256 MB.

That and it has personality, the Banter that the characters spill is just epic thanks to their VA, and the Visual style is appealing and nice to look at.

It's fun. That's why I play games, really. I don't play games a lot nowadays and when only playing a few hours every week and playing with friends, then TF2 is really fun.

If you are referring to the fact I am calling it 81 instead of 8.1, before 10 a lot of the DX'z were called 80 and 90 and such.

Because it's free and super fun.

Becuase it fun and if you don't get a server with a bunch of **** Its almost always fun

[QUOTE="Starshine_M2A2"]It's simple and undemanding with a good sense of humour. But that's also it's problem since there is very little gameplay wise to distinguish it from other generic FPS games like CoD and Counter-Strike. Run, shoot, kill, die and repeat.CaptainAhab13

"Run, shoot, die, kill, and repeat" describes many multiplayer first-person shooters. I'd definitely say TF2 is a pretty unique game within this "run, shoot, die, kill, and repeat" genre.CaptainAhab13
