that game looks like crap

ekiM · 04-12-2007, 01:49 PM

First paragraph : classes need to be differentiated.
Second paragraph : the scout is now a combat class.

Anything wrong with this picture?

04-12-2007, 04:15 PM

When can we expect TF2?

tu! · 04-12-2007, 04:29 PM

game looks very good. gameplay is a dif. story though...sounds very newbiefied.

DarkeN_HellspawN · 04-12-2007, 04:35 PM

but all in all a bunch of crap in my book. Why in the hell is a scout a combat type.....WTF............and why does he have a baseball bat as a secondary weapon..........WTF??????? A baseball bat???? What is this fricking Manhunt.........I mean come on Valve WTF were you thinking. That has to be the dumbest shit ever. Damn I wish I was the lead project engineer so that I could crumble it all up and dump the entire game and start over from scratch or help the FF devels out. WHY GOD WHY!!!!!!!!!!! I feel like Elias did at the end of his demiose in Platoon with my arms reaching to the sky. What have we done to deserve this??????

I think the baseball bat is quite apt, as in all the screenshots he does look like a baseball player with the outfit

DarkeN_HellspawN · 04-12-2007, 05:24 PM

even there is no real life match to a scout but looking like a baseball player and carrying around a bat is totally idiotic. I am sure that the devels are laughing there fricking ass of as we speak about this retarted shiznick. i cannot believe that they are making a mockery of TFC. Now dont get me wrong people do not want the same game but to take all this time and put this out is disgraceful.

Foxtrick · 04-12-2007, 05:45 PM

I think the opinion of 'scout being a combat class is a joke(or another negative word)' is abit unfair. Thing is you dont know what they are saying at all. The TFC scout completely evaded combat(for obvious reasons), the fact he has a baseball bat might just mean its possible to get a deadly swing in - albeit hard as hell compared to how the other classes play. It may very well be just like the spys tranq gun that isnt that easy to hit with, or even harder than that. We simply don't know

ekiM · 04-12-2007, 06:02 PM

Err...

in the case of the scout, where we were fundamentally unhappy with it, we thought it was substandard. It basically involved you not having fun in combat and having to run away from things all the time... Now the scout is effective in combat. Now a good scout player kills the crap out of people... In the TFC days, the scout was, you will lose to every other class in all cases in combat, and we didn't think that was a good experience. The scout today will chew up medics and pyros and soldiers.

DarkeN_HellspawN · 04-12-2007, 06:07 PM

To capture and cap the flag..............to be fast and run from everyone to get the job done. The Scout is going to chew up frickin Sollys????? You have to be shitting me..........WTF. He was a skinny little fast shit that could hall balls and now he runs with a Louisville Slugger? I doubt this will catch on at all with any old school classic guys who wanted the same class functinalitys but updated.

SmellyCat · 04-12-2007, 06:09 PM

Heheh. He's just upset 'cause he can't HH/rampslide etc in TFC.

Ironic example, Elias smoked too much pot, that's why he was killed.

DarkeN_HellspawN · 04-12-2007, 06:48 PM

on the length of time it has taken a team of seasoned game devels such as valve to come up with a crappy looking new TFC after so long. It is kind mind boggling to see why it did take so long since I can not see what in the hell caused it since they are not using a new game engine.

That will just have to be in another one of my emails to valve. Also Elias did smoke a little pot but he was on the right side.................frickin Bunny...........

thanks,

Let me guess, you're one of those "OMG IT LOOKS LIEK A CARTOOOON ITS FER BABIES IT SUX LOL" people.

And guys, what he means by a 'Combat Class' is that the scout doesn't do much damage, but he's fast as hell, so he can run around a solly in circles just shooting him and the solly might not get a single shot against him.

jesus christ, dude, take a minute or two to read over what you wrote and at least make it look somewhat presentable

DarkeN_HellspawN · 04-12-2007, 08:02 PM

Darken_Hellspawn.........a well respected Forum member and fellow "The Yellow Brotherhood" member.

I dont want to troll but I am just a very passionate tfc player who wants to see the community play what is best. My thought is right now that FF will be the obvious winner if it can make the release before TF2. If not everyone will have already jumped on TF2 and might not give FF the chance it deserves. It all comes down to the community because no matter how good the game is if people will not give it a chance or play it then it will be DOA. The FF devels have spent way too much of their free time and blood, sweat and tears to have something like this beat them out of their glory. I understand that people may like the TFC2 looks and plays but I am just not one of them.
