What will you do if valve makes their own team fortress?

This is hypothetical but what would you do? I mean turtle rock announced that new project, if it turned out to be fortress forever, what would you do?

Well it wouldn't be Fortress Forever. It could be TF2 or TF:S though. I don't think it really matters since FF is gonna be out first anyways and is community-driven. Regardless, FF will still be released and all that junk, there's a thread about that around here somewhere. Someone look it up.

Exactly, by all accounts any future valve tf release will either be a hl:s style revamp, which i cant see doing a whole lot to enlargen the dwindling community. Or it'll be a totally new style of tf game thats far more likely to be in the vein of bf2 than a pure teamfortress game. In my opinion neither of these would have a huge impact on FF. Of course these are all assumptions though, who really knows.

They'd continue doin' what they're doin'. Whatever might officially be done is irrelevant.

You're sterotyping valve way to much, I'm talking if they were to do what they did for counterstrike source or DoD.

You mean if they add a rocket launcher to Day of Defeat ? Think about it, which proportion of game sales do TF players really represent ? The rest are far more likely to prefer bf, dod, cs... they would be comercially right to stick to that more "realistic" kind of game.

Well I think, but I'm bloody clever so I should be right.

We'll continue making this mod whatever. Valve releasing a TF mod would be detrimental to FF's success, there's no doubt. We'd both be competing for the same players. If FF is to become truely successful we have to attract new players, and not just count on you guys who played TFC

We do have our advantages over Valve.... They will charge to play their game whereas FF will be free. They will have promotion far beyond our capabilities though, because of steam. I think ours will be better and more community driven.

Hopefully they are working on a new TF mod but are taking the game in a completely new direction.

Yup, that's about it
