My impression: I'm impressed. They recreated the TF/TFC feel, and improved some things. I could pick up on it instantly since I had played TFC and ETF so much in the past; everything was familiar. I'm surprised because recreating a feel like that is difficult when you're moving to a completely different engine. There are no obvious or game-breaking bugs, and the gameplay is solid. It does what it intended to do: Port TFC to the source engine and improve a few things. I expected a buggy, incomplete or broken release based on most Source mod initial releases, and I was pleasantly surprised to learn that that wasn't the case.

The graphics are crude, but it's still a big upgrade from TFC. That being said, I can't see myself playing too much of it, except for for nostalgic reasons. This game caters to a very specific playerbase that I'm not a part of. FF's release date is unfortunate, as TF2 overshadows it with a much more polished and balanced game.
