Its a fun game but it wore out on me fast. I'm hooked to "perks" now and when I started playing TF2 it had none. Maybe Ill go back and try again. I just wish Valve would do this much stuff for L4D. To me its a more entertaining game.

Team Fortress 2 is great. not a fan of the achievements but that is what competitive gaming is for. however sometimes it's fun to kick back in a Public Server (under another name of course..)

TheMailMan78 · May 21, 2009

I love achievements and perks. Makes me come back for more.

Same here. Played CS and TF way way way ago, but Tribes 2 was more than enough of a pull to keep me away, and I never went back to them, or the newer TF2. Closest I am is running CoD4....oh, and I have actually played thru Halflife 2

BumbleBee · May 21, 2009

I have been playing Team Fortress for a very long time I just think this game has fallen victim to current times. to be honest it has turned into a RPG shooter.

Obama is taxing TF2 now? Or is Valve getting part of the bail out?

BumbleBee · May 21, 2009

Sigh...

your not falling for all the song n dance then?? Ive heard a hand full of comments that its 'not all that'

DanishDevil · May 21, 2009

I played it like once even with a friend, but I didn't feel like getting used to it. Cartoony games kinda bug me, so it very well may be that that's getting in the way.

BumbleBee · May 21, 2009

I don't even play with my weapon model or hud on screen. the graphics don't bother me, like loud fans or mechanical keyboards after a couple days it won't phase you.

DanishDevil · May 21, 2009

Loud fans bother me after a couple of days...

But I'm gonna stop posting in here. This is about a free weekend, not my gaming preferences.

Easy Rhino · May 21, 2009

man, i bought and played TF2 for the first time about 2 months ago. I got owned by all the people who have been playing it for years. so i gave up.

OMG, you just reminded me of tribes 1. That game needs to be remade verbatim minus graphics and physics. Best game ever along with Deus Ex.

i own it... never played it.
