Kinda mad that I bought it 2 weeks ago but it was only $8 or something so no big deal.


yeah but free accounts get like less stuff like only 50 items in backpack instead of 300.or limited amount of crafting blueprints etc.

As an ex-competitive player (in one of the best clans in New Zealand) with over 1000 hours plugged into the game, I have a tear in my eye to see it go this way. Not because I don't like the new changes, but because I haven't been playing with all my friends through them. I have so many amazing memories attached to this game, so many points captured, flags returned and sentries sapped. But most of my friends have moved on, and so have I.

Team Fortress 2 is a beautiful game, and it represents everything that game developers should strive for. Thank you Valve. If you're reading this and haven't already, go out there and play this game!

so essentially now the games more powerful items will cost money. so whoever has the most cash get the most op weapons.

That really doesn't make much sense but ok...

TF2 isn't really like that. Most weapons are either side grades or downgrades.
On topic though. Kinda both like and dislike this move. Perhaps I underestimated how much revenue they make from the Man Co. Store. But good for the community that its free though. But yeah I suggest anyone and everyone who doesn't have this game to download it and try it out. I'm still playing after years.

I'm surprised I'm saying this but I really dig the "Start Playing" option. I usually play on the Reddit servers or my clan's server because they allow a max of 24 players and have normal respawn rates, the way the game was supposed to be played, but those servers are often full, down, or empty. Now I have an easy alternative because the "Start Playing" option puts you on vanilla servers. :D

I'm a little concerned this will result in more hackers. Valve said they were gonna keep on top of it, but I'm not exactly sure how. In my couple thousand hours playing this game I've only come across a view blatent hackers, so it would be a shame for it to go the way of CounterStrike.

For the new players:
How much you get out of TF2 is very largely dependent on finding a good server and friends/community to play with. When I first got TF2 I quit after a few days. I didn't pick it up for another couple of months, and only when I found a good community did I get really into it. Now more so even than before there seem to be so many godawful servers out there. I'm talking about 32player, instant respawn cp_dustbowl with all kinds of powerups you have to pay for and populated mostly by bots. Stick to 24 player, nocrits and standard respawn times. You'll have more fun.

Start Playing lets you pick a game mode and it puts you on a vanilla server hosted by Valve. So if you're having trouble finding an option out of the sea of 32 player servers with fake player counts, then this is an option.

Spy tips? Hmmm...

Don't be too hasty. That is all.

Seriously, Spies are good for two things: backstabbing Heavies and Snipers and sapping stuff

SILLY HAT?!!!!!
You are gonna SH*T ur pants once you get your first hat in tf2. TRUST ME

This game isnt an FPS. it a game about COLLECTING HATS DISGUISED AS AN FPS

You're right its not an FPS. Its a war themed hat simulator (they advertise it as such)!
