I prefer TF2. It's one of the most polished games I've played, and they did so many things right. The atmosphere and graphics are top-notch, and it's a much more teamplay focused game. I like how the classes are more specialized. For example, the medic is a support class like it always should have been. It's the most fun I've had playing a computer game in a while. They addressed many issues that nostalgic TFC players would never tolerate, like class balance, grenade spam, movement glitches etc.
I get the impression that a lot of the negative sentiment towards TF2 here is because it's not a TFC port. That's FF's territory.

- FF is not a port of TFC
- FF reduced gren blast radius to reduce spam
- FF maps will have fewer nades available on them to reduce spam
- Bhop was greatly tweaked to enhance gameplay
- HW was given overheat to address balance and is still being tweaked
- Soldier - rocket speed and blast radius were changed to address balance
- Sniper - was given radio tags to encourage teamwork - AR was nerfed to help balance
- spy - wow - the underwent a lot of work for fun, playability and balance
- pyro - had a major overhual to become a viable class
- NG and SG also had several tweaks
...etc.....etc.... I'm blue in the face... etc.
To play down the importance of teamplay in FF is to show ignorance. Join a team, join a league and play FF in matches. You'll find some incredible teamplay.
