do you like tfc now? how about before valve ruined it?

well tf2 is made primarily by the same guys who made tfc. They have had many years to make tf2 and they even scraped some bad makes in order to make an even better mod for the source engine.

They have professional ppl who are being payed to dedicate their time in to making tf2 great.

I wouldn't jump to say tf2 is going to suck. They got a lot of potential here. Ofcourse valve could have screwed it up just as they did to tfc.. we will all have to wait and find out.

Fixed.

o_formaldehyde · 09-11-2006, 11:55 PM

Oh jesus PLEASE don't turn this into ANOTHER FF x TF2 discussion, or people arguing if tf2 will suck or not.

I'm interested in knowing what news this article has for us...

o_luminous · 09-12-2006, 12:02 AM

i have the scans ready, i need someone who can host them though, there is 4 3.5meg pictures (large to make sure all the txt is readable) if someone could host them could you pm me please? thanks

o_bobtheguy · 09-12-2006, 12:05 AM

Why not use Imageshack? Or are the pictures too big or somethin'?

o_luminous · 09-12-2006, 12:07 AM

imageshack only does upto 1.5meg for free

Most if it was just stuff said/seen before, a few interesting things stuck out;

It mentions something about a singleplayer mode, but it's "still undecided and very much a talking point at valve HQ".

Their map ethos seems to be making a fake 'front' for each base so it appears like a barn or something on the outside, but when you get inside it becomes a supervillain's lair (think cheesy 60's bond style volcano bases and the like). ie very No-one Lives Forever-ey.

Much like FF I think the feigning stuff for the spy is giving them problems due to ragdolling so it seems like that's going out the window; the predator mode seen in the vids seems to be its replacement.

Medics apparently won't be able to infect any more, no more solid info is given as to how it's being changed although from reading it, it appears it may be more solidly rooted into a support role. "He's a support class, he makes everyone around him more powerful just by his presence. He's good at offence because as you leave your base, the ability to be resupplied etc goes away... The medic does all that for you".

I think they should make TF2 in the shadow of TFC but evolve it. Making it a separate game in the TF genre, a few major changes are justified. What I think and what will happen are completely different things, heh.

Circuitous · 09-12-2006, 12:34 AM

I've learned to forget about my self-centered wants for the game. They're making it as they please, and while it might not fit anyone's existing vision of it, that doesn't mean it will be bad.

Basically every "TF2 will suck" opinion stems from it not being like the other TFs, which doesn't sound so bad to me (or it's because of the graphics, which is straight up retarded, yo). Keeping that sort of "spirit" but changing the gameplay around. Do we really need another QWTF clone? Do we really want so many games that are basically the same as each other, one after another, until we die? Are we that stupid?

Apparently. Sigh.

If they get rid of the Engineer's EMP then TF2 has no chance with me unless they replace it with something so unimaginably godlike that it exceeds all expectations.

o_beavis · 09-12-2006, 04:17 AM

Well for one there seems, in this thread at least, a lot of talk on features that Valve are getting rid of. What about the features they are adding? Haven't heard much about that, so I guess there will be some surprises.

Seems doubtful that youd hear too much about new features until early Dec/Jan to entice people into making sure they play it at least once during their breaks from Ep2 and/or Portal. From a PR standpoint, it doesnt make sense to say "Were adding this awesome new feature!" then come back around and say "Were removing everything that made the old game what it was!". If you get the bad/painful/hurtful/possibly murderous news out of the way first, there is more time for people whove been turned off from the game to come back and see previews for whats left/whats new/whats improved thats spectacular/awe-inspiring/just fracking sweet. Carrot and the string. Gotta lure em all back with good stuff after you try to shoot them with double-ought buckshot.

Either way, Im interested to read exactly what the article has to say. Ill be buying Ep2 for *gasp* Ep2 alone, but welcoming Portal and TF2 as neat bonuses, and Ill sure as hell play both.

You gotta think that they will be making it a slower paced game because of that. In current tfc, as offy you go so quickly, that a resupply on an offy run is hardly needed. On some maps by the time you find a team mate to heal you, you might as well of died, and then conced back into the base again

It sounds interesting though
