[QUOTE=Soldier32;30672658]Yeah, I'm suprised I didn't get enough boxes to move to mexico. I've been on FP just not the TF2 section mainly because I don't care for it much.[/QUOTE] I haven't been to the TF2 section ever, so I can't speak for them. But everyone complained about the Portal 2 store when Portal 2 came out.
Just kidding. Fuck this, the only bitching about video games I have every done in my life is about Valve games. I can't stop playing them, though.
[QUOTE=Araknid;30671869]Because we can totally see into the future and we will know that its going to be free, right? :downs: I didnt mind ArmA2 becoming free, because they didnt give you the WHOLE game, only the multiplayer, in the free version.[/QUOTE] It became free after 4 years,within those 4 years you must have enjoyed fun,and collected what others didn't Tf2 was well worth all your fucking money
Free TF2 = Unlimited amount of steamids = More hackers..... :downs: Really bad move if your a server owner..
[QUOTE=Timmy80;30673860]Free TF2 = Unlimited amount of steamids = More hackers..... :downs: Really bad move if your a server owner..[/QUOTE] ....FAQ...again. And you obviously haven't seen the new setup, you can now join for new guys servers run by Valve.
The whiners need to shut the fuck up. Its the same people who said hats ruined TF2 that are rampant around these parts.
Looks like two years of laziness paid off. meh.
Oh goodie, more players! :smile:
At least it'll keep this game alive.
Oh my god, entitled whiny fucks up in this thread!

[QUOTE=zombojoe;30674184]The whiners need to shut the fuck up. Its the same people who said hats ruined TF2 that are rampant around these parts.[/QUOTE] In my opinion, the hats did make it worse, but not bad enough for me to quit. This whole free to play thing, it's not bad, but it's not GOOD either. The amount of cheaters will rise, but hopefully I won't see too many.
[QUOTE=thisispain;30674504]^ ~*HIPSTER*~ ^[/QUOTE] Usually, people put the smiley face when they actually do like something. If he thought it was bad, it's put the downs face. And even if he isn't serious, he has a reason behind not wanting more players. It will mean a lot of servers will be too full most of the time.
I used to stumble upon on a lot of servers with bots, sometimes fake playercounts. With F2P my gamer classmates can now play this, I can share my Fortress Wisdom with the newbies and beat my new Dominations(if not Revenge) in single life record. :awesome:
I'm not that mad because I bought The Orange Box for only 5€.
[QUOTE=sa2fan;30674399]At least it'll keep this game alive.[/QUOTE] It was nowhere near death
People whine so much about TF2 these days It's still fun!
Am I really the only one who understand "The game is now free to play" as "We're slowly going to leave team fortress 2 and move to another game" (fucking dota 2 bullshit)?
I've been playing for an hour now, it feels nothing has changed. One thing I've been wondering though, does it still come with Source SDK?

Also, Meet the Pyro.
[QUOTE=Bragdras;30674914]Am I really the only one who understand "The game is now free to play" as "We're slowly going to leave team fortress 2 and move to another game" (fucking dota 2 bullshit)?[/QUOTE] I understand it as "we're going to make it free and make money from adding buyable stuff in updates"
[QUOTE=garry;30674927]I understand it as "we're going to make it free and make money from adding buyable stuff in updates"[/QUOTE] This is pretty much what it is, TF2 has tons of potential revenue left in it, and from looking at the most recent update, a lot of people sure bought the new item sets. And that "dota 2 bullshit" is called appealing to another audience.
Are people actually bitching because valve gave the community something for free? Most games now are being updated with overpriced map packs, TF2 get's an update that makes the whole game free.
Ouch. I convinced my brother to buy TF2 just a couple of days ago...
[QUOTE=Swilly;30673924]....FAQ...again. And you obviously haven't seen the new setup, you can now join for new guys servers run by Valve.[/QUOTE] the faq claims that they'll keep a close eye on people making multiple accounts in order to circumvent bans however the fact is that with free accounts that aren't linked to your main, making, testing and using hacks is going to be a lot easier and safer valve can't monitor every free player
[QUOTE=zombojoe;30674184]The whiners need to shut the fuck up. Its the same people who said hats ruined TF2 that are rampant around these parts.[/QUOTE] Exactly. I have to say this every damn day it seems. [editline]24th June 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=ThePuska;30675417]the faq claims that they'll keep a close eye on people making multiple accounts in order to circumvent bans however the fact is that with free accounts that aren't linked to your main, making, testing and using hacks is going to be a lot easier and safer valve can't monitor every free player[/QUOTE] But they can monitor every IP Address.
On the bright side, more people to scam items from.
[QUOTE=Thaard;30675599]On the bright side, more people to scam items from.[/QUOTE] They can't give items to other players.
[QUOTE=Zeddy;30675606]They can't give items to other players.[/QUOTE] Ah cripe..
[QUOTE=Zeddy;30675606]They can't give items to other players.[/QUOTE] Wait...Free users can't trade?
People read the FAQ.
