Fortress Forever being under Steam store is win, as I was playing FF earlier, Geokill asked where some new players found FF off of, they said the steam store.

Thanks enisform.

That particular tab will be growing a lot in 2.2...

Yeah some guy told me he was looking for free mods and saw FF at the top... hmm I'm going to need more admins, server been active for the pass 4 days non stop

For great justice.

I'll help admin, Geo. But only if I can ban anyone who votes for ctf maps

Eh, I guess that'll be a no, then... don't exactly have any experience anyways...

Ihmhi · 09-07-2008, 11:39 PM

If I still have admin over at :e0: I'll help out when I'm playing there.

I think the ops and admins are going to need to coordinate to handle the influx of new players.

Fuck I'm gonna go play some FF right now, what the Hell am I doing on the forums? Shit.

BoltR · 09-08-2008, 12:11 AM

I'll play when I get back from work. I'll just make it a point to troll the forums while i'm there to try and respond to stuff.

I realise most of these were already answered but i'll compile them a bit into one post:

There are 5 new maps (Possibly 6 if it can get finalised in time, but it's doubtful): 2fort, anticitizen, bases, pitfall, and tiger. However, both cz2 and hunted had some large gameplay altering changes too.

As for the bunny-hopping. Over all speed went up a little but, medic and scout average speed (from a experienced player) is down. Skimming off of concs is now no longer frustratingly (for the defense) fast.

Snipers, as well as the HW, he had his numbers rejiggered. It's kind of hard to show it in a video though...

There is a cvar to turn off the objective icon, but you might find yourself leaving it on even if you know the map. It's pretty easy to ignore if you want, and it is genuinely helpful even if you know the map.

The SG radar sound emits from the SG, and everyone can hear it.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is what we have all been waiting on and pressing for. Having been a part of the community since release...it was very frustrating to see the mod as stagnant as it was...after I joined the beta team, the work that was put in to 2.1 was immense. I give the team massive amounts of respect and the sky is now the limit with this mod. Everything looks polished and a really nice, developed game.

Almost a year later, and we're finally arriving. Congrats FF community, here's to the future!

He's saying you smell like fish. Which is true.

Skanky Butterpuss · 09-08-2008, 02:24 AM

but i dont even EAT fish! how is that possible?!

SmellyCat · 09-08-2008, 02:35 AM

Hopefully the new bunnyhop will add some finesse to playing scout/offy again, which lack of is the main thing that bored me about previous FFs. Praying this old machine can still cope.

It all looks pretty snazzy, though.

HERESY!

Blasphemer. It isn't like TF2... and it's sad that you should say that, considering the video(which I hope you watched). FF is not like TF2.....nor does it ever wish to be. TBH, I will fight tooth(less) and nail to make sure FF is NEVER like TF2. TF2 is boring, slow, and annoying. FF is fast, fun, and... well...... fun.

There may be similar elements.... but the two games are WORLDS apart.
If you enjoy TF2, that's fine. But please, stop comparing the two.
