Played some TF2 before and personally, I didn't like it that much - everyone moves very fast, the maps are small, hard to hit stuff. :S But it's probably because I haven't played these kinds of shooters in a while. Oh well, I'm downloading it anyway.

Are the achievements and items still available?

L[0ne]R · « **Reply #3 on:** June 25, 2011, 08:00:31 pm »

I don't see why they wouldn't be. Haven't checked on the items, but achievements seem to be there.

Sucks to be one of those guys who bought the game on steam the day before it went totally free.

-currently waiting for Battlefield 2 (with Project Reality mod) to become free one day qq sad face-

Edit: Installed it and found out you need ... to .... pay IRL for ...the items............ *puke*

No you don't. You can find or craft all the itmes that you can get in the store. The only down side to not paying for the game is that you only get 50 back pack slots. That is not enough for anyone. It costs about €1 to get the full 300 I think. And you definitely DO NOT have to buy ANY ITEM from the Mann.Co store to get it.

They found out they get more money from items than the game itself.

Hatfortress is ok, 9000-different-weps-that-change-gameplay-in-an-unpleasant-way-fortress is bad. I ragequit after sniper who can't be headshot.

It seems to me that TF2 has turned into one of those games where you have to pay or invest a huge amount of time to get weapons (and hats apparently) that give you an edge.
That's why I stopped playing battlefield Heroes, and it's why I will not play battlefield play4free, TF2 or any other game like it.

I tried TF2 a while back during a free to play weekend thingy, and I must say it was way too chaotic for my taste. I like the slower tactical shooters best, but there seem to be no new shooters to suit my taste. I have high hopes for Battlefield 3 though

This is where your wrong. BF heroes is ridiculous in that way. TF2 is not. You don't haveto invest a huge amount of time for weapons, you do for hats but they are only cosmetic and you pick up a few in the time you play anyway. Find a group of people to paly with regularly and get some donations or something to set you up for the first while. Takes time just like anything else, you can't play Oblivion for 4 hours and expect to get the best stuff straight away.

Oh, and I can't seem to stress this enough, you don't have to pay for ANYTHING. AT ALL. You can get evey weapon and hat from drops/crafting/trading.

Yeah slow and tactical doesn't seem to be involved in any shooters I've seen apart from BF2. Try Fallout3/New Vegas, not multiplayer but it can be slow and tactical if you want.

I'd say Call of Duty is somewhat tactical. Not as much as some of the Battlefield games, but definitely not like TF either.

There's also ARMA and Operation Flashpoint series that are somewhat like battlefield, but with an even stronger focus on realism and even more gigantic maps.

Yeah running around the map with marathon pro and scavenger rpging every one is really tactical lulz.

Lol that's all I do in modern warfare 2 it just blows so much horse cock.

Not really. Get 2 of any weapon and you can make scrap metal, or 2 of any wepon from the asme class. Combine 3 scrap - get 1 recliamed - combine 3 reclaimed - get 1 refined. 3 refined makes a hat. Trading is just swapping one thing for another with 1 person, weapons, hats, paint( which you can use on hats).

COD is about as tactical as carpet bombing.
