Well it is now free to play forever!
http://www.teamfortress.com/freetoplay/faq.php
You have a slightly limited account (can still get drops/play all maps/etc) but it is free for you forever.
People who bought the game have premium accounts now and we get a proof of purchase hat and aren't limited at all.
A fun game to try especially if you haven't played it.
Gah I need to download steam so I can play this again. I know someone here gave it to me, I think it was tec.

There is your problem.
Not that I am saying it is the most amazing game ever, but the pc version is at least better than the ps3 one

The PS3 version of the game is basically as it was when it was released back in 2007, and TF2 is a game that has gotten 5475892738597348574857380523845789742582785725886579847 free updates that turned it into a war-themed hat simulator.
I don't either. bassir;

..You played the console version of a game designed for PC. Of course it's going to suck. Get the PC version.

no
Quote from: Nyerp on June 24, 2011, 12:29:40 AM
no
um yeah
the game was designed to be updated with new weapons, maps, mods, etc
how many of those things does the ps3 version have?
none. if tf2 was only vanilla and didn't allow for any kind of modification on pc, i'm sure the playerbase would be exponentially smaller than what it is
stop being stupid
Honestly I'd decide to side with Nyerp here. I can see why Valve did it, and I think they're becoming as faggoty as EA or Activision with their systems.
Did you know free-to-play MMO's usually make more money than subscription based ones because of the cash shops? You can start for free then suck them in with pretty items which you would then be forced to BUY. Many people are fucking stupid enough to literally spend thousands on this, but not the game itself. I don't even understand what goes through these fuckers' heads, but it's probably very lame.
With valve doing this, they're basically going to sucker many more players in and increase their revenue by a crazy amount because of how retarded most texans are, and the whole free-to-play section was likely only put in because it benefits TF2 JUST FOR THAT FACT. Valve is like most companies and won't add new shit unless it benefits them somehow. Even the facebook integration does just because it attracts more faggots to put money into their system. The wrong kind of faggots. We should expect the hipster/hiki ratio to just explode from this.
And the content of TF2 itself isn't really that great. I haven't actually seen them do anything for themselves since the Pyro update. All it's been since then is stealing shit from the community and rebranding it. Most of the time, they DO reimburse them. Usually with an even more special snowflake novelty version of the item they fucking designed. With that and the horrible balance between a few weapons in particular (like that goddamn katana), it really took the fun a long time ago from the game for me and others who were able to play it when it first came out. It was a simpler time, clean, and not worth the hype, but still pretty fucking excellent.
But that's just my opinion and not necessarily one shared by this radio station. baddood;
My laptop probably can't run it :(
Lol at people whining about hats. If you actually played you'd realize people don't care anymore, just don't go on those shitty Lotusclan servers. akudood;

i didn't care enough about the core gameplay itself
it was fun while it lasted but i don't see how new weapons, maps, blah would suddenly make the game itself more fun
so, no

DER HATS! Seriously though I love how Nyerp says the game isn't any different and that the new weapons don't make the game more fun. akudood;
Guys. Stop complaining about buying hats. In EVE Online a golden monocle costs $70 dollars in the new Noble Store. akudood;
Let's just forget that they added so many that it fucking broke the MAPS. Remember that?

Eh I wouldn't necessarily say it is imbalanced
all the classes still have a specific role to play and none actually towers above the rest

I've been playing this a lot recently. Having a lot of fun, though sometimes I get stuck with a completely retarded team. Literally retarded. I've seen medics try to heal their team members with their syringe gun.

I've seen medics stand and stare while pointing their syringe guns at me just outside the spawn as I ran a mile towards them and caught them both on fire. akudood;
they didn't even move.
If I had any money I'd pay for a version of TF2 with everything but the cosmetic shit.
TF2 was less of a good game after the first hats, even worse after Mann Co and Poly Count, full body suits and equippable taunts are just kicking it while it's down.
On the brightside, I can sell my inventory for at least 50$ to idiots who care about cosmetic shit.
