TF2 is now free-to-play - Games

[QUOTE=green bandit;30673782]Arma II is $40.[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.arma2.com/free[/url]

[QUOTE=TheDecryptor;30673769]Well it's much more balanced now, and with less game breaking exploits. Edit: But yeah, the core game is the same.[/QUOTE] Well the new content keeps the game interesting, it has for 3 years. And yeah, bug fixes are a must, for obvious reasons.

I can't even connect to the item servers. This is bullshit, I paid $20 for this and I can't even use the items I played for. I can't even get the hat or whatever you get for buying it. God damnit.

[QUOTE=kwk;30673562]Premium account, Trading, Items that cost money, Promotional Hats, Customizable characters... This is a description for WoW, but yet, it also describes Team Fortress 2. Back in 2007 and 2008, none of the things listed in the description above would even come close to be going in TF2. So sad...[/QUOTE] I like how you tried to make fun of WoW and TF2 at the same time, but your insult failed because you don't know anything about WoW.

Premium account, Trading, Items that cost money, Promotional Hats, Customizable characters, and F2P. Isn't it describing Runescape?

[QUOTE=Jessecar96;30673700]This entire f2p tf2 this just pisses me off, servers are now spammed with noobs that can't play and are just annoying as hell.[/QUOTE] We were all those players at some point.

[QUOTE=Y'all.;30673724]The best thing about this game used to be the community. The game is still basically the same as it always was, with some more content, but the community will never be the same.[/QUOTE] The community got shitty as soon as mario_kart came out.

I hope its not like this everyday. I mean, I can't even go into my usual server which has my friends and even if I got in, it was just new players everywhere

" valve fucking ruined the game, i paid for tf2 and now they're giving it for free!! all those new players are gonna come and keep the game alive, its horrible!! " :colbert:

If my favorite servers are now going to be swamped with non-English speaking Polish freeloaders, I'm going to be pissed as hell.

[QUOTE=Y'all.;30673724]The best thing about this game used to be the community.[/QUOTE] the community was the worst part of the game, and always will be

Let's see how long it is before someone writes a plugin that permabans any F2Pers

I'm not worried about new players(noobs, morons, kids,...) I'm more worried about hackers.

[QUOTE=Greendead;30673990]I'm not worried about new players(noobs, morons, kids,...)

I only started being part of the tf2 community a while ago, I don't know whats so bad about it?

[QUOTE=V12US;30673964]If my favorite servers are now going to be swamped with non-English speaking Polish freeloaders, I'm going to be pissed as hell.[/QUOTE] I just told my Polish friend about the game going free, what are your favorite servers?

[QUOTE=MainSqueeze;30674013]I only started being part of the tf2 community a while ago, I don't know whats so bad about it?[/QUOTE] The worst of it all can be summed up as "stout shako for 2 refined" and "lolxd!!"

Yay, bought TF2 a week ago!

That doesn't make any sense If I get my account banned, I could make a new one somewhere else and then play on my PC again. If that's not possible, than how can my friend play on my PC on his account?

[QUOTE=Greenen72;30674031]The worst of it all can be summed up as "stout shako for 2 refined" and "lolxd!!"[/QUOTE] "gaben XD" or "hats4lyfe"

[QUOTE=MainSqueeze;30674013]I only started being part of the tf2 community a while ago, I don't know whats so bad about it?[/QUOTE] Me neither. People generalize too much. They see a couple of gents they don't like and think that a large portion of the community is inclusive to that behavior. It's impossible to play a game without seeing some people that you don't like. You should focus on the players and servers that you do like and stick with that. I've found quite a few friendly communities.

Well I really doubt EAs origin service will be doing much better than this in the near future.

I was planning to buy Orange Buy next week. And I see alot of restriction on the F2P. So If I buy Orange box. I will still get a premium account right?

[QUOTE=TheXbriteEco;30674441]I was planning to buy Orange Buy next week. And I see alot of restriction on the F2P. So If I buy Orange box. I will still get a premium account right?[/QUOTE] Correct.

I really don't like the free to play concept. I've played enough free to play games to realize that all it does is let in a wave of retards and people that don't appreciate gaming.

I [b]LOVE[/b] this F2P thing. I just went to a 2Fort pug and went 16-2 as Spy. Tee hee.

I wouldn't care if there were more noobs on most games, but Team Fortress 2 is usually team based. I'm already sick of teams with 3+ Snipers and this is just going to make it worse.
