I'm done with TF2

[greenday5494]

there's medpacks in TF2 that heals you to 100 percent you're not supposed to kill with the medic, but if you see a sentry in a ledge where it doesnt see you, if you arch your needle correctly, it takes it down in a few seconds.

[Firefox11]

Eeeh... I think he means Medkits. You know, what the Medic carries that heals to 100% instantly. Not the spawn medpacks. (Or at least that's what I did understand).

Also yes, Syringeguns can kill SGs, but it takes a hell lot of time to take a lv3 down. If you try at long range, the syringe dispersion makes it so you need around all your ammo to take it down, not counting that you have to reload the weapon...

Ah yes, they are called medkits...

Incidentally, about 90% of what's on that list is, pretty much, new and improved for FF.

If anyone decides to do a list of what TF2 added, we may have to see how that one stacks up to what FF added. If you need help, just start with crits and taunts, and go from there.

Do Scouts remove Spy disguises in TF2? I don't even know...

13) A whole bunch of CTF
14) Fortresses
15) The super-nailgun (if the syringe gun works good on SGs, I'll retract this one)
16) Nades
17) And last but not least, EMPs, napalm, MIRVs, concs, nail grenades, caltrops (I know they're gone from FF too, but there's something else now), and gas grenades.

I wonder if I forgot anything?

3) Seriously?
10) Still there.
11) Still there. Unless you mean 'ability to exploit movement glitches' then you're right.
13) That's a map thing. It doesn't have to do with the gameplay. If you want more of that gametype, make more maps for it.
14) That's a map/style thing. Look at the custom map CTF_MACH4. It looks almost exactly like the old barren fortresses of the older games.

I've just learnt 8 is a cool number

[greenday5494]

one more thing, dont try to say the FF medic is better at healing, because he's not, same that the TF2 medic canot fight.

And, im pretty sure that everyone knows that tF2 is a simpler version than FF

Actually, since the medic unlocks came out, you can DM pyros, hwguys, spies, snipers, even engineers(Without sentries.) His new needle gun gives health back for every hit, so the, "Run backwards while shooting" technique is EXTREMELY powerful.

And, im pretty sure that everyone knows that tF2 is a simpler version than FF

They are both complex, this is the point I'm trying to make, both games use different types of complexity to make them have depth, just because there is no movement tricks in TF2 doesn't mean its any less.

Hell, if we wanted to talk about complex movement, lets just throw The Opera or The Specialists out there, god why doesn't FF have wall jumping, wall flipping, backflips, dives, jump boosting, and crouch-punching, I will quit FOREVAR if they don't have these deep and complex moves! :sarcasm:

FF Has:
2, 3, 5, 9, 23, and 24 out of that list.

[Firefox11]

If you put in the Payload thing, well I guess FF also has Conc, Quad, Escape, Last man Standing and others.

=D

Also, could we just stop with this TF2/FF debate? Play the one you like, Jesus!

same concept.

[squeek.]

Anybody that calls movement skills "glitches" or "exploits" should be kicked in the nostril. The left one, preferably. Like Infy said, if it was a true exploit, it would have been removed from the game.

[Weezy69]

Wow after listenin to the tf2 weapon names, it actually makes me laugh. It goes to show you that they actually aimed this game at young teens.

Well, technically as Valve stated (Therein by the creators of Team Fortess) the unique movement techniques found in the previous fortress series were never intended, and would not return in the sequel. (TF2) but FF went the other route and simplified them and added more, which makes it its own fun and unique game.

TFC was the sequel that Valve and Robin Walker made to Robin Walker's QTF, and it had all the movement exploits in it. Don't forget that TF2 is the third TF game Robin Walker has made, not the second.

And however ambiguous the 'bug/exploit' status of all those movement skills were in other games, in FF they're 100% 'features'. So don't be bringin' none of that 'exploit' shit in this house*.

*engiman. Not you Thor.

They were intentionally left in TFC (brought back, in fact), but capped. They opted not to remake them in the new games.

Bunnyhopping, and indeed most of the movement skills we now enjoy, were glitches from Quake. This does not change the fact that many games have used and even harnessed these abilities to great effect in order to add a level of depth and skill to the game.

Continuing to call them mere physics exploits or glitches, when every game since Quake that has them has them intentionally, is ignorance.

TF2's varied, yet limited, arsenal of weapons does not make up for its lack of other skills. Once you've got the handle on DMing and can figure out map objectives, you're pretty much done learning the game. All you have left are specific tactics - the same specific tactics you'd find in any team shooter.

Team Fortress 2 is a shallow game. That's all there is to it.
