Well it looks like for the second time in history the engi is getting new gear.
[QUOTE=asteroidrules;33663288]Well it looks like for the second time in history the engi is getting new gear.[/QUOTE] Hopefully good gear that people won't bitch it's "op".
[QUOTE=Zet;33663364]Hopefully good gear that people won't bitch it's "op".[/QUOTE] People will do that for every single weapon that gets added, mostly the stuff that isn't.
[QUOTE=SomTervo;33662177]Tf2 peaked for me after the engie update. Now there's just too much shit for me to keep track of, too many people care about hats, and it's next to impossible to find any of the new weapons without dumping ridiculous amounts of time or money into the game.[/QUOTE] Here's the problem: TF2 updates are the [B]only[/B] thing the TF2 team has been doing since they released TF2. If you stop playing TF2, they have nothing left to give you. The updates may be free, but there's not much to them. A few hats, maybe a weapon with a slight change in stats, that's meant for people who still play the game, it's not going to bring back many people who have left. It doesn't even make the game more attractive to people who have never played it before, making it f2p did, but you can only do that once. They're spending all their time working on a game that was released in 2007, and they don't plan on stopping. It's a different kind of franchise milking - one done with good intentions, but is still making money off the same game over and over.
If there are new laser guns for the engie, i want either plasma landmines that replace the SG, or a energy shotgun that functions like the Laser rifle from fallout 3, none of this slow blatant projectile shit, i want a laser.

At first that rocket made me think of Lamarr
I'm just glad that they're still updating and fixing bugs, even if I don't play as much as I used to.
i love tf2 now but I do miss the old TF2
They really need new game modes, ones with unique enough premises that aren't just something like "Tourney Mode". The ideas of Raid mode that people have come up with, with players assisting the movement of siege weaponry against the other team's base, or even defending against waves of enemies and artillery (IE, Meet the Medic). Stuff like this will keep people coming back

[QUOTE=Magmacow358;33667403]YOU STOLE MY AVATAR.[/QUOTE] -looks at join date-
[QUOTE=Magmacow358;33667403]YOU STOLE MY AVATAR.[/QUOTE] Its funny because ur avatar looks like shit compared to him.
[QUOTE=Magmacow358;33667403]YOU STOLE MY AVATAR.[/QUOTE] I shouldn't need to tell you that the avatar is one of the dozens Valve made of the TF2 classes. If you took a picture that was released publicly for the very purpose of being used as forum avatars, why are you so surprised that other people also use it?
[QUOTE=rampageturke 2;33660981]but then people [B]would of[/B] bitched about the lack of new content[/QUOTE] [url]http://public.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/couldof.html[/url]
[QUOTE=rampageturke 2;33660981]but then people would of bitched about the lack of new content[/QUOTE] That's not necessarily true at all times, for example, if we were talking about team fortress classic where the gameplay is pretty solid without being touched until 2008 why would there be a need to bitch? If there is no class update in the first place and we thought we never were going to get new content just like counter strike and tfc then what would there be left to bitch about. Imo it's all about the precedent that is set, if valve starts wildly updating team fortress 2 and people play team fortress 2 just for the updates then stop playing tf2 a couple weeks after then you can assume the majority of people will only play when an update comes out. But, you are right rampageturke, only because there were updates for classes and gameplay that really changed things around for the better or worst. Anyways just my 2 cents.
[QUOTE=dass;33663284]I thought it was a game to be played instead of being a history lesson...[/QUOTE] But it [I]is[/I] a history lesson! How else would we have known that Abe Lincoln invented rocket jumping, or that Shakespeare was a bodybuilder?
I miss old TF2.
[QUOTE=Deaglez7;33679282]I miss old TF2.[/QUOTE] so does everyone else on the "hats r bad! meaning tf2 is now bad!" bandwagon.
If current tf2 was old tf2 it would have died.
[QUOTE=ShazzyFreak0;33679411]so does everyone else on the "hats r bad! meaning tf2 is now bad!" bandwagon.[/QUOTE] Hey, when one company is criticised for making a real-world cash auction house and the other is praised for a real-world cash store selling cosmetics for the same price as indie game of the year circa 2010, something is afoot.
Hats and new weapons aren't a bad addition to the game. Remember when it was 9 classes that looked completely the same and used the same weapons as everyone else? At least now it has some personalization and variety.
Next they add different types of accessories like shoes.
[QUOTE=Chessnut;33680498]Next they add different types of accessories like shoes.[/QUOTE] Little late on that one, hun.
Well besides the soldier's rocket shoes?

Man I need a lot to catch up with.
[QUOTE=Chessnut;33680656]Man I need a lot to catch up with.[/QUOTE] Don't bother.. it's all bullshit items anyway. The best items are the initial items, and the class update items. Plus a few other, newer items.
