TF2 Now Free (F2P)

stray kitten · 06-24-2011, 02:31 PM

Thought this deserved it's own thread, references to the new Uber update have already been posted, but I would like to bump this for the Fortress community. TF2 is now free. Would like to see some friends give it a go since some do not own it currently. I'll even give ya some shizzle to help equalize weapons. Peace.

How is it advertising? What FF player is going to see that TF2 is free and quit FF for TF2?

Not me, but possibly others. And it was done right before this new patch. Practically the same thing happened back in 2007 when FF was released nearly the same time as TF2 was. Coincidence?

TF2 has been discussed here at length over the years. I believe one can even see influences from TF2 in FF releases. And at one time FF was going to migrate to the same source version as TF2. So... This thread is for the FORTRESS community, those who love FORTRESS games, TFC (along with it's earlier incarnates), Fortress Forever and Team Fortress 2. Besides it's in the "other games" forum where often games that would directly attract possible FF players are discussed. Including other source mods on the same engine. So Before it starts... everyone chill.

Kube, if I remember FF came out a few days to a week before TF2 was released. My guess is it is not a coincidence. I found it odd and at the same time glad that after all the talk FF suddenly game out right when TF2 was being released. FF delayed my purchase of TF2 in fact!

Maybe, just maybe all the influx of new TF2 players might make FF more visible? We used to get curious TF2 player in ALL THE TIME. I often mention it in TF2 games. Hell if someone make me a spay I'll post it for exposure like those dudes did looking for a developer.

Good point. When I think of free games, I usually think of crappy games I'll play for a week and never play again. TF2, on the other hand, is a very popular game and if people start to realize popular games are free now, maybe, just maybe FF can be seen in the same light.
