Team Fortress 2 !!!!

[Yoyodyne]

In all the Halo hoopla, this games's release has gotten kinda ignored.For those who are,or were, into Counter Strike, and it has gotten a little stale, you have GOT to check this game out. It is so over the top, it is an absolute BLAST to play. All 9 classes have distinct looks, strengths,and weaknesses. It is going to force team cooperation, unlike Counter Strike, which was it's intent, but kinda just turned into a free for all. It's by Valve, the guys that brought you Half-Life. The look,the gameplay, the shifting objectives and the maps are well thought out and well done. It's "official" release isn't untill October 10, but if you pre-purchase the HL2 "orange box" off Steam, you can play it on their beta servers. Check out the trailers for it... http://orange.half-life2.com/tf2.html

No it hasn't been ignored. I've been playing the crap out of it. :D Same feel as the original Team Fortress Classic but with some different game play modes other than straight CTF. That and the demo is the only one with grenades now. No more emp spamming engies. The taunting is hilarious.

No emps?!?!! damnit... :( I hope they took out rocket jumping too then :mad:

Rocket jumping is still there. The engies got a teleporter construction item added on. Engies build entry and exit teleporter points to help the team get around faster. It can be interesting on 2fort. Pyro's flame thrower hurts more but has shorter range now. He's great for clearing out spies though. Spies camo is really good and he has sapper mines to kill sentries. Medic doesn't have a purse anymore but has a health gun that he can use to supercharge teammates.

LOL.. I remember taking a fatty, medic, and engy.. Have the fatty up front and the engy & medic out back healing. :D

If you see a fatty with a medic hanging out behind him you better bring a crapload of firepower in TF2.

I was a Team Fortress junkie back in the day. I could wear your ass out playing the HW guy. Nothing like hosing down an opponent with a chain gun while he babbles on about "newb" and "no skill". :lol:

As soon as I get my home computer reformatted and back up to speed I plan on loading up Fortress Forever. It was just released as well. Form the look of it, the game is a little truer in style to the original TF.

It ain't Team Fortress without 2fort. Might have to try FF anyway though. Skins look good.
