Does anyone here play team fortress 2?

[Voltss]

not a lot of people seem to recognize it. it IS pretty old but still pretty good in terms of community.

 

[Llareian]

I tried it once, but it wasn't for me.

what do you mean by that? too difficult? too much going on?

Geez, it was like 10 years ago. I'm not sure I even remember. I *think* (and keep in mind here I'm trying to remember a one-time experience a long long time ago) to get the full experience I had to play with strangers, because at that point my group of gaming friends was too small. I never like being forced to play with strangers. Trying to play with 3 or 4 people wasn't enjoyable because there weren't enough people to fill the roles, I think.

oh wow, you played back at launch if it was 10 years ago. the game has changed a whole hell of a lot since then, plus it's free now. i guess it's understandable, especially since the game is so much more complicated now and has a massive learning curve (still my favorite game of all time though)

I remember playing it back in 2008 or so, when a few friends convinced me to get it so we could play together. I've never been much of a fan of first-person shooters, but Team Fortress 2 was pretty fun for a while.

the game is very, VERY different now than it was at launch. you should take a look again if you want to, it's free to play now

I played it loads in the past, often with my brother being in the same server. But it's been a long while since I played it and I bet with many new changes and updates, a lot of it will be unfamiliar to me now. Still, it was fun back when I played it. Favourite classes were Soldier, Demoman, and Pyro (I guess I really liked destroying things). Also Engineer was a fun, tactical class too. My worst one was probably Spy or Scout. I sucked with them.

Sorry, dude. I'm playing CSGO.

TF2 is free, at least give it a shot...

2800 hours, and counting.


.......actually, not really, because it's taking a lifetime to update :/
but, you get the idea.

 

[I_Has_Popcorn]

About 200 hours and counting.
It's my second most-played game on Steam.

I´ve got almost 4000 hours in this game since it was released! I have pretty much moved over completely to Overwatch and SMITE, though. The recent Pyro inferno update campaign was pretty fun. I usually play Demoman, Soldier or Engineer. Depending on the map I may also go Scout or Sniper. I hardly play the other classes at all.

I used to play TF2 almost religiously. Started around 4 months before the whole gun skins update and I loved it back then. It was only around the whole matchmaking scenario that got me to quit and move on to Overwatch. Gotta be honest though, my experience in Overwatch is being affected by the large amount of toxicity in that game.

the matchmaking has actually been improved a whole lot since meat vs match came out. come back and see the new UI sometime - once queued for a match you can access everything else, inventory, loadouts, etc. and even join community servers while you wait to be matched into a game. you should definitely give the game another shot; a lot of new content has been added.

it is the same in TF2, especially with the new matchmaking system: hundreds of new accounts that just installed the game, and are matched with people who have years of experience.
and, people with years of experience who go through all the trouble of logging in, and setting up for a game, to then not-play.
all of that adds to the justified frustration of people who want to play the game, and is not allowed to.

but it's still nowhere as toxic as Overwatch.
you can still find community servers with regular players, everywhere, you don't have to play on Valve's terms.

That is good to hear. For now, though I will hold off until I feel ready to return. Plus I just got Dead Space for free and I really want to try it.

I think the only thing that would make me go back to TF2 right now would be if Valve added some more MVM levels...
