Thread: 2142 Take over TF2!

I enjoy it. different feel of play from 2142 all together.

Nice brake and will continue to play it and have fun but 2142 is where my heart will always be. until something younger and better comes along ( shrug ) what can I say Im a guy.

yesir

I played it, and have no urge to play it again. Not my type of game.

Yeah, I'm not much for the twitch-action games anymore. I still play UT2k4, but it's not as fun as it once was for me... usually just makes me want to play Battlefield or DoD, even though there's plenty of room for good teamplay strategy in the domination and bombing run gamemodes.

I had major issues with the Pyro in TF2. The flamethrower did plenty of damage on contact, but I felt the burn damage was damn near ignorable unless you were already low on HP - especially since medkits and medics stop the burn. Moreover, Deeeeeeemomen and Soldiers could just blast-juggle you to death, even if you started flaming them at point blank in the back. Heavies... if they could aim properly, circle-strafing and jumping didn't save you. And hell, half the time a person with a brain would swap to their melee and drop you with a crit in half a second.

The other classes felt well-balanced to me, with possible slight exception of the Soldier (still think they don't take enough damage from their own rockets), but the Pyro just felt pitifully weak and pigeonholed into a "help finish off the someone I just almost-killed" or "make spies cry" class.

OK, nubis question... What is TF2? And ummm.... what is a "twitch" game?

I've mostly only played MMORPGs in the past like 3 years and before that WW2OL for like 4-6 years.

Twitch games are where you need to have really fast reaction times and it seems like the game is in fast forward all the time. That's about the best way I can explain it.

I personally don't think TF2 is a "twitch game" but it definitely is a different change of pace than 2142.

Now COD4, I think is a big time "twitch game". I have joined a few times but I can hardly stay up with those guys.
Reaching for my migraine medication--::twitch::twitch::

Hmmm... yeah... nope, not going to play it. I donna like the graphics.

the graphics compliment the type of game play and the constant humor behind it all
