Wow, this game is fun!!!
Without Gernades though, the SGs are nearly impossible to take out alone, which is really annoying as a scout.
Any chance a CfH server will be up? |

WOW, what a waste of money. The only thing i like about this game is that
theres no bhoppin, everything else sucks..BAD imo.
What bothers me the most is:
1: Having to wait 15 seconds to spawn everytime u die.
2: When theres sudden death if u die thats it u cant spawn again till round over. <--how gay is that?
I hope i can still get my money's worth with HL2:E2 and Portal.
For me. |

To people with crashing issues:
Instead of lowering all the detail thing, just running in DX8 mode seems to help a lot of people, or running it windowed.
With:
-heapsize (1/2 ram, I have a gig so its 512000), -directx 81, -windowed
in the LAUNCH OPTIONS, you'll run it in DirectX 8.1 mode, windowed, and with half-ram, but you'll run it.

1 - It's not always 15 seconds; I'm fairly sure the spawning is in waves, so it could be 2 seconds. Though it slows the pace of the game a little, I like the spawn delay. Kill a defender and he won't be back in 4 seconds. Also defenders spawn slower than attackers, and spawn time is a server variable, so there's bound to be 1 second spawn-time servers
2 - That's kind of exactly what sudden death is all about. The round will end quickly since it's DM mode because the game was stalemating.
I will defend this game to the death from all criticisms!!!!
(now to go play it) |

Don't get me wrong, Aud, I'm not asking u to defend it, I'm just stating my
opinion: I don't like it. But if u like it thats great, enjoy it!
P.S. I've never spawned in under 15 sec, usually its 15-20 |

Only on dxlevel 80, if it's at DX 9.0, most everything's green, bright green. Also, 7.0 crashes TF2. |

Unlikely...at least, not for quite a while...if then.
This apparently is a whole new server platform; none of the current admin tools will work with it. Also, since the SDK would be needed by mod devs to iron that stuff out, it'll be a while since that may not be out for months. This is my understanding from reading the steam forums. Without the ability to easily admin a server, I have no interest in running one.
I also didn't like the game...that will play a big part. That was my first impression. I'll surely give it another shot and see how I feel about it. |

Chips -- play a map besides 2fort. The new style does not lend itself well to CTF maps, and maps like gravel_pit are really really fun. |

OMG are they ever. This game is awesome. Also, my graphics sorted themselves out...somehow. |

Well, finally put an hour in to it and have to say, I agree with EVERY ONE here. It loads slow, its fast paced, no nades, no concs, no bhop, lotta mindless fun, spawntimes suck, classes are overpowered, graphics are fun as hell.
Dont think you can aptly compare it with TFC/FF one bit. While it resembles our glorious game, thats all it does....resembles it. For those expecting it to be a newer version of TFC with more bells and whistles.... its new and sure has a ton of bells and whistles, but this isnt TFC at all.
Personally, as fun as it is and how much I may or may not play it, I certainly dont think in the way its out right now, that any of the leagues can get behind it as I dont see it being played competitivly. However, its new, thus, Im sure Valve will update it and people will make maps and such, thus increasing its play-ability.
Gotta admit though, if you look at the STEAM stats pages.....its got 10 to 15 times more players/servers and minutes played then FF, and its only been out a day. I chalk that up to the fact that FF got little press (and leading up to it, it was pretty negative due to the delays) and word of FF was pretty much limited to the existing TFC community.....whereas TF2 had a multimillion $$$ company fronting it, and you cant open a gaming magazine without seeing a pretty full page ad in it.
I clearly dont see TF2 going away any time soon due to the huge playerbase it will bring in......but for pure league play, TFC/FF is where its at....and where its gonna stay.
So, my suggestion is..... for those that play TF2 and in time, see people wanting to get into a competitive section or into league play.....send them the way of good ole TFC & FF. It can only help build up what we still have.
TFC lasted a solid 8+ years.....and FF will keep it going for quite a bit longer. |
