Given that it never required a subscription fee, I don't anticipate much of a change. New players is always good, and while people like to **** about the hats and other guns they are not fundamentally better or worse than the basic weapons and skill is what matters. And as long as you can keep unlocking the weapons just through playing, it's all fair to me.

:(. Just found our. The Summer Sales better be really f***ing good. I feel sad about this. Sure its a good game but did it really have to go this route? Hats and weapons costing money...so sad. Mod support is staying right? Hows that going to fit in really? Sigh. I like that Im a premium member but all we get is the same as before and a...hat. :(

You got it. They figured most already have it so the rest can have for free and have more people for micro transactions. Smart and devious.

The more Team Fortress to go around, the better! It'll be fresh to see new faces playing the game, and should give extra legs to the 2007 game.

Yeah, but hats are purely cosmetic. And the weapons you can unlock through gameplay. It's not like you HAVE to have the weapons. I do pretty well with vanilla spy, scout, medic, sniper, and soldier.

Yeah. But you got to play it 4 years before all the people who got it now.

As for me I am really happy TF2 is free. I always wanted the game, but I had my reason why I couldn't buy it. But now it's free and people still play it a lot so it's still worth playing. It's not like Valve was giving away a dead game. Steam's friendly service and amazing deals is all the more reason why I love the service and Valve.

they don't have an in-game store for those, so it won't happen.

Anyone feeling the pace of the game changing a lot? The influx of newbies is horrible, all those crappy engineers.

Lol, I did just that.

In one match killed 30, died 5 times. Used backburner, all I did was flank and burn their backs.

I'm really surprised by this, actually. Engineers? I've mostly seen crappy pyros and medics.

Try moving on to soldier next. Remember to shoot the ground. Then once you get the hang of the aiming in TF2, gradually move on to demoman.
