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. | ||

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 | ||

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.

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

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? | ||

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. | ||
