A bunch of friends wanted me to play before- since its F2P now, I might as well give it a go.

Maybe now that even more people will play, TF2 can do better as an Esport. I mean, all the TF2 "progamers" I've talked to remind me of foreigner BW players they get played so poorly.

Isn't this such awesome news? Well of course it is, but since I cannot log into Steam most of the time, I am screwed for now. And I still cannot install my boxed version of Duke Nukem Forever

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


No. Play the game then try and make silly comments. It's free now, btw

First, new weapons are not "upgrades". They are alternatives. Some weapon stats are increased, others are lowered. Weapons with different capabilities often have (sometimes severe drawbacks.

Second, people have been able to buy weapons since last October, and it's become obvious that there's no such buy-weapons-for-imbalance problems.

Never cared for the F2P model, in fact if they get too ambitious with the unlocks I might just quit playing. I liked the old TF2 better :/

Guys, the weapons are side-grades. Most of them are actually worse then the original one (but usually more fun). I personally still play with all the originals.

Also, the game drops a lot of itens, so everything is fine.

Yeah the weapons are much more of alternates than upgrades. Gain a new ability or feature but lose something else useful. The first pyro flamethrow upgrade crushes people if you catch them from behind but it also costs double or something for blowback which is really, really big since that is used for reflecting things, juggling people and the like.

pretty much all of the weapons operate using the same thing

Actually the BackBurner can only crit from behind and doesn't get the compressed air burst.

Tf2 was never ruined with the introduction of hats. What "ruined" TF2 was when community made weapons were introduced. Most of those are pretty ridiculous and don't really have any business in the game. Now I'm not saying that the community shouldn't have gotten involved, they have made some killer maps, and their participation is what has allowed TF2 to survive for almost 5 years.

The F2P model isn't bad considering it going to bring new life to the game. Just look at all the people on TL that said they wouldn't have even shelled out 5 bucks before, but now they'll download it. Valve are mad geniuses when it comes to marketing. As for those of us the paid for it earlier I think if we even got 100hrs out of (not hard) it was completely worth your money. If anyone should be outraged its the people that paid and then proceeded to never play it. But again it's their fault for paying for something they didn't play.

TL;DR Valve is awesome. Haters gonna Hate

Yeah I don't play as much anymore =]

I honestly thought most of the weapons were balanced, idk. Finding them really doesn't take much time at all

TF2 is hands down the most fun FPS that is still played (TFC was pretty damn awesome too). However, it does depend on having good/fun people to play with, since it's heavily team based.

Perma F2P is really sad, especially consdering that I just convinced some of my friends to go out and buy the game. They have to make a distinction between the groups, otherwise it just screws over all the dedicated players.

Why would it be bad?? It injects more life into the franchise if anything, and pubs were already filled with... pubs?

Most of the server were whether nearly empty or 24/7 full of 23 bots. That kinda pissed me off. I hope with the new patch the servers get filled Someone knows why they deleted stuff about the new patch in Tf2 wiki?

I'm just saying that this is a kick in the face to the people who went out and bought the game last week (I made 3 people do it). At least give people something to show that they payed for the game by giving more weapons or limiting weapons access for free.
