FF alive or dead? - Page 7

MonoXideAtWork · 05-08-2009, 11:13 PM

I downloaded dystopia and quit because of the training level.

The most effective training level I've played is Smashball's. I've tried to structure FF's to work similarily.

This would be very interesting especially if it replaced the Pyro (whom I don't feel belongs in FF's gameplay).

Would the players be forced to play a training level? I don't think that is a good idea if they are.

Of course not.

Either way, it being released at the same time as TF2 which had massive promotion wasn't exactly ideal.

You do realize that the challenges of life could involve pushing yourself to be the best at anything you do, be it your work, school, or hobbies or anything else? Competition is competition, regardless of format; the desire to excel is hardly limited to "other things" outside a game.

Then "idiocy" was a strange word choice, wasn't it?

As mostly said before, every single quake game, Warsow, Painkiller, a few others. It should be worth noting most games with any engine roots in goldsrc or id tech, such as half life, cod1-4 share a very similiar strafe jumping technique as well, but the bunny hopping is usually nerfed to hell (ie, cs mousewheel jumping, doing tight circle strafes results in same thing) XD

I can become the most competitive guy in every challenge under the sun, if only I can live forever.

It's overrated.

Perhaps, but it was still idiotic whether or not it was announced before tf2 due to v1.0 being flat out awful. The timing was just icing on an otherwise horribly made cake.

Everything · 05-09-2009, 04:15 PM

I like cake, do you guys like cake?

**Crazycarl** · 05-09-2009, 05:39 PM

No, I once ate a cake that wasn't quite baked, and so I decided never to try it again.

Yeah! How dare they make a game entirely for free in your house!

battery · 05-09-2009, 09:41 PM

The best way to show your indifference to an insulting comment to ignore it entirely.

sorry, i left my crystal balls in my other pants..

v1.0 wasn't that bad. it was mostly just one bug to do with drawing decals on models when on lower graphics settings. it's shear frequency ruined a lot of people's first impressions though, granted.

The decal stuff was the cause of the crashes, mister.

Also, slant view.

Skanky Butterpuss · 05-10-2009, 12:58 AM

well no one gives a shit why they crashed, just that they crashed. so saying some bullshit about decal drawing doesnt explain that some people (me) couldnt play 1.0 for more than 5 minutes without crashing.

chilledsanity · 05-10-2009, 01:27 AM

Honestly I thought 1.0 of FF was amazing. I was comparing it against TFC and it excelled or equalled it in many areas (100% visually). It's mainly the later patches that started killing off the gameplay for me.
