I know I will be dumbed for posting this, but I really don't mind. Helps keep TF2 alive, creates a bigger community... Hell, even non-gamers can now see what all the fuzz is about. AND I got a free hat!
I thought this was great, but then I thought about the aimbotters. SO MANY AIMBOTS.

[QUOTE=TheLocoMofo;30672159]you'd have to pay $5 on every single steam account cause that's the minimum you can put into steam funds, so it'd actually get pretty expensive[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=TF2 FTP FAQ] [B]Q. How do I convert my free account to a premium account?[/B] Make any purchase of any amount in the in-game Mann Co. store.[/QUOTE] ANY PURCHASE OF ANY AMOUNT So now TF2 is the cheapest game in the world.
[QUOTE=Pikachu231;30672388]ANY PURCHASE OF ANY AMOUNT So now TF2 is the cheapest game in the world.[/QUOTE] But to buy things you need to pay with your steam wallet and the minimum you can deposit into it is $5
[QUOTE=Pikachu231;30672388]ANY PURCHASE OF ANY AMOUNT So now TF2 is the cheapest game in the world.[/QUOTE] The minimum ammount you can put into your steam wallet is 5 dollars. So you already have to put in that much into steam to be able to get premium, this has been gone over multiple times.
They still have money left over. They can use that money whenever they like.
Still, $5 is amazing for a game like that, with the free updates, large playerbase, wide variety, many gamemodes, it goes on.
[QUOTE=Pikachu231;30672444]They still have money left over. They can use that money whenever they like.[/QUOTE] Anything on steam, so Valve already has the money.
[QUOTE=Pikachu231;30672444]They still have money left over. They can use that money whenever they like.[/QUOTE] can't really do much with $4.50 though
[QUOTE=t h e;30672450]Still, $5 is amazing for a game like that, with the free updates, large playerbase, wide variety, many gamemodes, it goes on.[/QUOTE] But at what cost?(Besides .50) And Revan564, you shouldn't have disagreed on my last post. Sure they have to put in $5 bucks for wallet funds, but it costs only 50 cents for one of the items. They can still use the money for other stuff as well. [editline]23rd June 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=TheLocoMofo;30672502]can't really do much with $4.50 though[/QUOTE] Only thing left to do is buy more hats.
[QUOTE=TheLocoMofo;30672502]can't really do much with $4.50 though[/QUOTE] Use it to take $4.50 off a steam game? Eh, who uses steam to buy games anyway?
[QUOTE=Sir Colton;30672561]Use it to take $4.50 off a steam game? Eh, who uses steam to buy games anyway?[/QUOTE] That sir, is the most retarded thing I have ever heard in a long time. A LOT OF PEOPLE USE STEAM.

So let me get this straight. No new voice lines (Not even for the medic, when they HAD THE MAN IN THE RECORDING BOOTH) No new taunts (For weapons that is. Oh I'm sure you could BUY one though). No new styles No Hospital Map (The one thing I was looking forward too) No new Engineer Items. Crafting has become tedious and annoying Recipes are a goddamn joke (Seriously, EIGHT JARATE for a Medic Melee?! ARE YOU KIDDING?!) Free to Play ensures that the game will be flooded with trolls to the point of unplayability. And above it all, the absolute WORST THING... The one decent spy hat is now worth less than 99 cents. Oh yeah valve. REAL INNOVATIVE AND NEW! REAL BIG OVERHAUL YOU GOT THERE! Forget this game. I'm done with it.
Thank god tf2 is more of a prediction game, so snipers is the only aimbotter thing you need to worry about. [editline]24th June 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Kenori;30672648]So let me get this straight.

[QUOTE=Kenori;30672648] Free to Play ensures that the game will be flooded with trolls to the point of unplayability. [/QUOTE] Yeah I think server admins would ban them. It won't be a problem; I mean who would waste their time installing the game just to go on a server and do Micspam or something.
someone needs to make a group called "i had Team Fortress 2 before it was Free"
In before, when they added hats and mann co store, I thought they weren't that bad, since they doesn't affect the gameplay. But now, I decided to abandon this game since they MAKE IT F2P, I just met a aimbotter on the last server I played on. Valve, you disappointed me. Farewell TF2.
Now let's just say that a [b]friend[/b] of mine was going to make a new account, install tf2, buy a rocket jumper for a premium account and idle. Would my [b]friend[/b] get in any trouble? Does Valve have any way of finding [b]him[/b] out? :smile:

[QUOTE=Kenori;30672648]Forget this game. I'm done with it.[/QUOTE] Like this hasn't been said a million times with past updates.

[QUOTE=CommanderMayhem;30670460]This actually pisses me off immensely. Just when I thought this game might be good it's now going to be full of fucktards. Great.[/QUOTE] It already is
I'm not sure if this has been brought up yet, but as one of my friends said, a hardware ban could help with the hackers and the cheaters. What do you guys think about that?
[QUOTE=DrKinkyKinkles;30672711]Like this hasn't been said a million times with past updates.[/QUOTE] Not by me it wasnt. I've come to respect and admire Valve for their stand on not tolerating bullshit and producing quality content. But this...this is just...money grubbing...

Jesus Christ Facepunch, cool your shit. I haven't heard one mention of this on Something Awful. TF2 is a wonderful game, I bought it about 6 months after it came out, while a hat is very :effort: compensation, its still good none the less. At least VAVLe has the god damned courtesy to not make you pay to upgrade, or pull a APB. Just cool down, have a drink of tea, and take a nap. It'll all be over soon.
