Team Fortress 2 = Best Online Shooter this Generation

[QUOTE="PunishedOne"]

[QUOTE="Cyberfairy"]

Pfft TF2 is fun, but it's hardly a game you need skill in. Most of the weapons are extremely easy to use and barely requires aiming because there's no recoil or there's splash damage. I'd say Halo 3 requires alot more skill than TF2. That's my experience anyways.

EDIT: lol edit broken or what? words keep on dissapearing

Play the Soldier well then come back. You need to learn how to do aerials (also called airshots), juggle, keeping the height advantage, proper rocket jumping, learning when to reload and not to fire all of your rockets, the right time to pull out of a battle, who's a Spy and who is not, predicting where someone is going to hit them with a rocket (even more so if you juggle them as you will never always pop them straight up).

This is proper rocket jumping:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QKxDPEW1oU (Albeit in real games you'll barely be using everything seen there)

And this is playing a Soldier well:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuaJ8r_aE-U

You have no idea what you're talking about. Go play some CS 1.6 (even Source has more skill than TF2) or quake then talk about how "pro" you have to be to be a soldier. Seriously, go right now and play some quake live, it's free, and you'll get your ass kicked.

I do.

EDIT: And also, look at the thread title. This generation. That means CS and Quake are out.

team fortress 2 is a fun as heck game that will only take you as seriously as you take it, definately agree with it being the best shooter of the gen, atleast for me, opinions will vary from person to person of course ;)

What the hell? The only game I'd even consider on that list is TF2. Try putting more games that would actually be considered competition. KHAndAnime

Battlefield : Bad Company

I liked Killzone 2, CoD4, and Halo 3. And I think TF2 is very boring.. How does that feel :twisted: Also.. I didn't know anyone gave Stalker's online the time of day? :?

why does everyone exclude killzone 2? :roll: love TF2, but killzone 2 is better for me.SilverChimera

Go demand more vote options to the mods instead of acting as though it's my fault :roll: I specifically said in my OP that I liked Killzone 2, so I'm not excluding it.

I would have voted for TF2, but for some reason, nothing happens when I press the button.

As much as everyone bashes Halo 3 for being shallow, Head_of_games

What would you like me to put then? I picked the most popular games.

Nah CSS bro.

h3 does take skill. if igoturpistola can maintain a 6.4 k/d ratio in mlg dallas against other pro teams............there is certainly skill involved.

Where is Resistance 2 and Killzone 2. Both those got extremely high praise over their online components by critics and the public. TF2 had to be packaged with 4 other games. I find TF2 is like Resistance 2 co-op. It is good and fun, but would not sell well by itself.

Nope, tried tf2 on the OB and wasnt that good.

Halo 3's my favourite. And takes alot of skill. More so than TF2 imo.

That's like saying "IMO 2+2=5"... It's a fact that Halo 3 has very aggressive aim assist, especially on the sniper rifle. I've played it for quite awhile before my 360 RROD'ed, so I know what I'm talking about.

"very aggresive"?? I would consider myself pretty good at H3 and aim assisst (like theres any) doesnt help at all in MLG. Especially if your skill is 45+.

Aim assist helps no matter how good you are at the game. It just makes aligning your crosshairs faster, and there is no such thing as fastest, so unless you can headshot someone across the map in 1 nanosecond, aim assist helps you, you just don't notice it.

I never really got into it mainly because the player cap was so low. Usually that kind of thing doesn't bother me, and I just figure the developers wanted it that way for a reason, but to have 6 classes and 8 players per team (at maximum) just doesn't make sense to me. Also, the game mode with the control points was incredibly broken, usually defense would let offense cap one base, then it just turned into a turtle match over the second base. Tons of people seem to love TF 2, though.

What are you smoking? If 34 players aren't enough for you, then I wonder how you manage to cope with less than 20 players in other console shooters.

I'm going to go ahead and agree on this one.

I'm not a big fan of TF2, probably because I played it on the 360, but nonetheless I didn't like it, so I chose Halo.

I don't like TF2 myself, but if you're judging it based on the 360 version then wow.

Give it a proper trial imo.

Lol...Stalker online. Anywhos...out of that list it's between Halo and TF2. Eh, both grew boring much quicker than I expected. I guess Halo 3 for the custom games. :3 I think GRAW1 and Rainbow6 are better than them all.

In terms of skill, nothing like 1.6, then source, red orchestra. TF2 is by far the most enjoyable shooter though.MasteRich

I do like it when the new content is broken, or makes things imbalanced. That doesn't get old.

EDIT: Nvm...I take that back, it doesn't really get old. The game can be very frustrating though, and matches tend to last FOREVER. It's just something I gotta be in the mod to play, and for the past few months I haven't been.

Yes especially when they add plenty hours of gameplay for free and no matter how much some cry "baww teh unbalanced" they still keep playing and still have 50+hrs in the past 2 weeks.

ahahahahaha TF2 YEAH RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ahahahahahahah dont..haha...make me.,...hahaha laugh......:lol:

If Day of Defeat: Source came out a couple months later, I would disagree... but based on what I've played, TF2 is easily the best and most balanced multiplayer game of the generation.

Well I don't really care about the unbalanced stuff anymore because Valve nerfed it to **** anyways, so it actually makes the player worse to use it, but that does not deter from the fact that it has led to a broken game many times.

And well.....when they made achievements mean nothing for additional gear the content patches stopped adding more hours of gameplay. People would still play the same amount regardless I'm sure.

Halo 3 for sure. TF2 was much of a borefest to me. I really don't see what is so special, it's a team fortress based game with lame jokes in it.

Halo 3 is not a FPS game (online gameplay speaking), it's a FP-throw.sticky.grenades.or.use.melee.attack.&.see.them.die game.

Although Team Fortress 2 is really fun, Halo 3's multiplayer is just crazy, especially with a bunch of friends.

Played/play them all and halo 3 would be the best shooter for sure.

You do realize that you're the only one here laughing at my ass, right? That means you're not the "cool guy" here...

Agreed TF2 is the best online MP this gen :).....the real version(PC)...not those other ones.jg4xchamp

Loved TF2.

But Left 4 Dead leaves it in the dust. Despite the bugs.

The whole Versus campaign mechanic is all I am interested in now.

This is how I want to play FPS full stop.

yeah tf2 is the best
