Should FF evolve or stick to TFC

I got TFC for the first time in February. I loved it. Got FF not long after, it's now one of my favorite games and I play it a lot. So it's not just for the vets.

Don't worry I'll always be here for the new players to kill

Also, I didn't read the whole thread because I don't have time at the moment.

Sad that I got the reference and laughed

i had gotton TFC in about late 2006, and i loved it, even though i was a medic and defense, had no idea wtf iwas doing and was getting gibbed 24/7. why? because i didnt have to wait for gay respawn, you just go out there and have fun.

Agree, agree, agree, don't entirely agree.

You basically defined offense and defense there, so I don't know what you mean.

[greenday5494]

what is skimming?

[Circuitous]

When you land from a boosted jump (concs or otherwise) and maintain 80% or so of the conc's speed, so you just scream by.

Your opinion, really.

Just look at TF2, and then decide. Orrr.... you can look at the problems of TF2 and make the "evolved" FF fix those problems.

[greenday5494]

so, is skimming when you land from a conc jump, and keep crouch jumping? down a ramp makes you go fast too. is that something else?

[Circuitous]

You don't need to crouch jump, you just need to keep using air control.

Gaining speed down ramps is "reverse trimping" or "downward trimping."

if TF2 had the same gameplay of TFC it would had a huge sucess as well. Its more a matter of resources, design, publicity.

I totally agree, I think this is TFC saw such a large player base in the past as well. It became part of a mandatory patch, not just an extra mod.

Just tossing an idea out here.....

Fun Mode should also take the ManCannon back to the original settings we were playing with on Palermo. I dare ANYONE in the Beta, who played like that, to say it wasn't fun!
(and mean it)

I miss the old mancannon. You could go all the way to Point 3 on palermo from the gates. ):
