Team Fortress 2 50% Off, Free to Play at Weekend

[gm0n3y]

Meh, TF2 was fun for a little while, but the game just doesn't have the depth that some other shooters have. I really couldn't get over the fact that it doesn't have grenades, which were the best part of the original TF (read: Quake version, not Half-Life). Have they added any new weapons/classes/features in the past year or so?

I do not know a single MAC gamer. Everyone that I know who owns a MAC games on a console or has a separate PC for gaming. Besides, aren't MAC compatible video cards like 4x the price of the PC counterpart?

What in the world? Grenades (pipe bombs) were one of the original weapons for the Demo Man, so yes they've been in there since '07. Yes, they're added at least a half dozen new weapons over the past year.

What game were you playing? I don't think it was TF2...

C'mon, don't give more credit to the Mac than is due. TF2 has had several free weekends (+ $9.99 sales) over the past year! Every time there's a major character update, a free weekend + $9.99 sale price is rolled out to introduce it.

Read through their blog to find out the past dates.

I meant the different grenades that every class had in the original:
Nail Grenades
Napalm Grenades
Mirvs
Concussion Grenades
EMPs
Hypodermic Needles
Fragmentation Grenades

Not to mention all of the mods that added many others. I love the style and polish of TF2, but it lost so many of the original features that made the game great that I just can't bring myself to play it anymore.

You know that the grenades were removed to balance the game rite?

ie they didn't want to take the time to make the game right. That is such a cop-out. Taking out features because you don't want to put a little extra work into balancing issues is not good.

That's why people waited 5 years for it?

Also did anyone notice that the console command to make the game look better (mat_picmip -10) is gone?

That's why I was so pissed. At the time I thought good for them taking the time to get it right before releasing it. And then they release this polished looking game that lacks the substance of the original game that was made 10 years earlier. I was really mad add the time but now I've written it off as another failed sequel.

You might be happier playing the Fortress Forever mod. It's based off TFC, I enjoyed it back when I was playing it a year or two ago.

That mod is empty most of the time.
