Whoa wait, TF2 only has 6 maps by default on the 360 version? What a ripoff of that then.

PC version seems the way to go though. Half Life was meant to be more for the PC anyway, what with custom maps and mods.

Yeah, I agree. Every FPS is better on the PC. :x


Also, the difference between a 16 player match and a 32 player match is amazing.

Why back in my day, it was amazing if a game had 2-player matches! You kids today with your high-def and your online and your 3-bit 64D motion sensor whatchacallits...

I'd enjoy FPS games on PC a lot more personally if they'd include full gamepad support like their console versions do. Rather than little or none. Geez...

Just because most players are fine with the default input devices, doesn't mean I am.

I'm not asking for ridiculous/impractical ideas like Team Fortress and DK Bongos. Or Quake III with a R.O.B.

I've had the Orange Box (for PC!) for a while. I haven't actually played Portal yet; I watched my boyfriend play it, so I already know everything that happens and whatnot, and it looks amazing, but I've been way too busy to consider sitting down to play it myself, lately. heh.

I love TF2. Absolutely love it. I'm not usually very good at a lot of games, but this game makes it fun for me to mess around and learn how to be better, rather than getting bored with sucking after a while. I like to think I don't suck too much now. xD (Think might be the key word there. I dunno!)
I haven't even tried all of the classes yet. .. I should get around to doing that. I've been playing it for the last couple of months, you'd think... :p .. Maybe after New Year's. *sigh* (Curse you, holidays!) I have several (I dunno, 4-6?) friends who love playing this too; playing it with people you know somehow makes it all that much more awesome. :3

But yeah. .. If you haven't yet, you should go check out the 'Meet the (insert class here)" videos. They're on the Steam website (Or youtube, if you can't see them there). If you have a Steam account, you can download the HD versions, methinks. I think that so far, we have Heavy, Heavy in Russian, Engineer, Soldier, and Demo man. Not in that order, but really, who cares. They're just fun to watch. I hope they come out with another one soon.

I've downloaded Half-Life 2 (and HL2: Episode One, and HL2: Lost Coast) but haven't had time to play any of those, either. I see my boyfriend mess around with Gary's Mod sometimes, which also looks like a lot of fun, but again.. busy. =/

I hope after the holidays are over, I'll have more time to mess around with this stuff. :x


Tl;dr: TF2 is gooood. If you can, get it!

I'm not exactly a great TF2 player, I don't get many kills, but I AM good at snagging the intelligence AND Capturing control points. And that's all that really matters, right?! I mean, that's how you win!

( Except in Sudden Death but just fragging the other team is no fun :c )

I usually play scout, myself. I dig the speed, even though they are a tad frail.

I have yet to play TF2, but I'm looking forward to it alot. It sounds insanely fun. Although to me, 24 players is chaotic... but I guess I'll find out

Maybe if it was free for all, but considering it's team based 24 is a good average match


the Maximum is 32, actually :3

Picked it up New Year's Eve. Already beat Portal (holy shit it's short) and now I'm somewhat addicted to TF2.

Overall, worth the $50 I paid for it. :3

I got it for Christmas. It was worth the money they paid. Ha! I also liked how if you had a ATI video card, you got Half-Life 2: Deathmatch for free. Online play rocks!

I like it. Portal is delicious..like a good dessert. Short and brilliant.

Team Fortress 2 is great fun as well. I'm no good at combat but assist roles are a lot of fun anyhow.

What?!? Sweet! Free game!

I'm buying this the very next possible time. Then I can play TF2 with my uncle, and I'm obligated to play HL2

I would like to get Garry's Mod, but it costs money...

Boo Hoo...

I have money, but not Visa or paypal or anything like that. There should be a thing where you can mail Paypal your money and have them put it in your account.

In TF2, I find it amusing that the "other" classes are all foreign guys.

Spy = Russian.
Medic = German.
Sniper = Australian.

Whazzup wit dat yo?

I do best with Pyro. I love that guy. Hadoken!
