My predictions just might come true for TF2

[MrBlip]

Because Team Fortress 2 is not Team Fortress. It's a different game with the same name.

A majestic, dying breed of gamer.

we're not dying

we're just being buried by the surge of casual newcomers who don't know the difference

it's only a matter of time before a developer becomes intelligent enough to cater to us and capitalize on the goldmine that we are

[Django]

it's only a matter of time.........capitalize on the goldmine that we are

Im not snacky over here ,but wouldn't shifting from a broad target audience(casual)
to a niche demographic, be hurtful for the sales of the industry?
I mean it's not like its rocket science...

they aren't THAT different


it's just a different group of players

TF2 has more retards, less teamwork

[MrBlip]

TF2 has less emphasis on team work than previous Team Fortress games did.

[Hellboy]

Not necessarily, if you play on good servers with smart players. A shitty team with people who don't coordinate is gonna lose, no matter what.

[NightFantom]

a team with decent players without teamwork can't hold off a heavy/medic combo, friggin awesome players or a terrible team with awesome teamwork would both have more chance

[Rat-morningstar]

TF2 has less emphasis on team work than previous Team Fortress games did.

erm

less people play with teamwork

if you pay attention, every time there's a steamroll it's because a team actually works together

[MrBlip]

And what is there in TF2 that encourages people to play together besides one or two people yelling at everyone on their team over the microphone?

Winning?

[joe]

that doesn't encourage teamwork, it is just part of the game. that's like saying tic-tac-toe promotes teamwork.

also from my time playing tf2 it doesn't seem like anyone gives a shit about winning.

[Hellboy]

that doesn't encourage teamwork, it is just part of the game. that's like saying tic-tac-toe promotes teamwork.

In a game that's built around the notion of working on a team, as opposed to a 1v1 board game, yes, it actually does.

I somehow always have to emphasize this when you jokers are talking about TF2, but you dudes play(ed) on shit servers.

[Rat-morningstar]

ok, lets turn it around this time

in what way does TFC promote teamwork that TF2 does not?



and yeah, on a lot of pub servers they don't play TF2 but deathmatchfortress

[Gr|m]

joe isn't really talking about "TFC" he's talking about the original Team Fortress I believe.

[joe]

Gr¦m is correct. i never played TFC and i don't consider it a real TF game
