Why the fuck would I bring up that stupid-ass argument?
It's the people that call it "kiddie" or "Pixar" that piss me off. |

I don't recall ever comparing it to the realism of concing (incoming quotes of me doing exactly that in five, four...) but I do remember whining about how the visuals aren't going to make it a bad game, and that that's the stupidest thing ever, etc.

Critical hits are basically telling you "hey, you got a headshot, which is increased damage...good job!" It's a learning tool, but just another name for locational damage. I was really worried it was random when I heard about it too. Flame effects are indeed dead sexy. The Pyro is also a rape machine. |

So the location damage works with other/all weapons now? Please tell me head shots aren't possible with every weapon. :[

That will be.. interesting. How much is the multiplier? Like 150% or somethin?
That tilts things even farther towards hand-eye/aiming skill/dm.. Still have engy/pyro/medic I suppose. I wonder how explosions interact with that feature.. |

From what Enrique says, they are taking a different approach to mass appeal than FF - they are effectively slowing down the game and dumbing it down compared to TFC, whereas FF is speeding things up a bit and using things like tutorials and the hint system to make the high level play more rewarding. Just the fact that concing is not in means that the majority of the movement and league community would be puttin' their eggs in our particular basket. BTW Enrique, one question for ya: What is the status of grenades? Are they all gone except for the Demo, or what? The info on that is not really clear. And I do not believe anyone has said it, but thanks for lettin' us know your impression of the game. Whether or not we like it, it is interesting to see how Team Fortress 2 is coming into its own as a very different iteration of TF gameplay.

From what I saw, I didn't see a dumbing down at all, they're being very careful to give players the tools they need to understand how to learn, while making it so they don't play the game for you. I feel dumbing it down would be to remove skill from the equation, or make it so that noobs are on even footing with more dedicated players. What I saw was that noobs get trashed, but have a lot of ways to see what happened and learn from it. This is going to be essential to any competitive game in this or future generations of games. Games can still maintain a hardcore appeal, just not at the expense of barriers to entry. FF is even doing this with increased support for new players, tooltips, etc etc. If you don't do this in today's market, you're suicidal. I guess I don't consider that a game has to be about conc/trimp/bhop to be a skill game, it's just that those skills aren't drawn upon in TF2. It's just asking more for twitch, teamwork, and role optimization as opposed to movement and map usage. Both are valid skillsets, imo, just different. For example, saying Counter Strike doesn't require skill is pretty absurd, but you can say you aren't interested in the skills that make a good CS player. I find those skills uninteresting to learn and master personally, so I can see if players really enjoy the movement skillset of TFC and want to continue onto that. I'm personally glad TF2 isn't shackled by that viewpoint, because they used their potential to make something very new and fresh in a market overloaded with realistic/tactical shooters. |

A game that rewards skilled players doesn't necessarily indicate significant depth or competitive appeal.
For example when hl2dm came out, I dominated most servers on most maps. I got bored in a couple of months. It wasn't like I wasn't aware of what was possible with the game either. I could strafe jump, grav jump, cook/prime grenades etc. The game still didn't have enough depth for me to want to stick around or play competitively. |

I wasn't aware people actually played HL2DM competitively.
The thing with HL2DM is that there isn't really a goal or much teamwork. At least for me, that's why I played TFC for as long as I did since it had both of these. I made a bunch of friends in my clan and enjoyed playing with them in matches. Sure, there was individual skill but I enjoyed working together to setup defensive strategies and execute them. Depth in a game can be more than just exploiting the physics of the game. |
