Re: More info on item drops and the future of Team Fortress 2

No. No, you didn't.

 

Re: More info on item drops and the future of Team Fortress 2

There are plenty of free RPG's on the internet. And secondly, when I purchased tf2 I didn't pay for something that's going to be another bloodt RPG....

Fuck Valve if they will !!

 

Re: More info on item drops and the future of Team Fortress 2

i like rpg games, so i do wanna see how this turn out.

 

Re: More info on item drops and the future of Team Fortress 2

As much as i like them i also love FPS. And FPS's are much better. Bring back milestones!

+1 Longbow... But that probably won't happen anymore I'm afraid

 

Re: More info on item drops and the future of Team Fortress 2

I'm not quite sure how to express how I feel about this. I don't have an appropriate picture so

I think the attraction of TF2 for me (and I'm probably not alone in this) was that it was balanced, and everybody was on an even footing from the start and throughout.

Many other primarily multiplayer games at the moment, for example BF, vary the weapons and statistics of different players, often favouring those who have played longer. Personally, I prefer TF2's old style of dealing with things, where everybody (in each class, ofc) had the same weapons, the same health, the same abilities.

The new weapons were novelty and something to spice up the gamplay a bit to start with, but now they're starting to seem increasingly like a fuckup.

/long-winded

TF2 was and should stay an FPS not a bloody RPG. If they want RPG Tf2 based no one stops them from writing another game. Leave tf2 as it was. there was nothing wrong with it.
