TF2, A Breath of Fresh Air

Ok so I picked the game up from best Buy, and had to downlaod all the updates (7gb)

Honestly the agme blew me away. Its so much fun. im primarlily a console player but I can see myself playing this game for a long time.

I put on my headset and since in a NEWb i sucked so i asked for tips and help. The peopel on that game are so friendly and helpful. Everyone just said congrats on joinign the party its a gerat game and proceeded to answer all my questions. I've evr had this ecperience with any console, game. when I play opn Xbox live I never use a headset if im not playing with friends because people are either annoying or just rude.

Is it just that PC agmers are less douchebags. This honetsly makes me wwant to play the game again. I'm so addicted right now.

Yeah it's really fun. i got it at target a couple of weeks ago. still need a mic though.

I would say something about spelling, but you seem really excited about the game. Congratulations on picking it up. Team Fortress 2 is one of the reasons i strictly play PC games outside of Fighters. I can't say PC players are less of 'douchebags', per-ce, but we most of us are atleast above the age of 18, thus making some of us a little more mature.

Yeah the thing is, hardly anyone under the age of 16 asks their parents to run out and purchase a gaming PC. lolUCF_Knight

Congrats and TF2 is very fun indeed. Though i must warn you the community loves to complain, you`ll see once the new update comes out where you will witness the endless complains while in games and in the forums. There are a few douche-bags here and there, but its quite rare based on my experience. Dante2710

I never realized how a good community really makes a game so good. you dont really see that with consoles. All the servers I played on were terrific. Everyone was helpful and I havent had 1 bad experience.

Do you guys generally stick to 1 server or do you just play any of them???

I did. But failed. martinX3X

Excellent thread, I agree 100%, awesome game is awesome.

Glad you are liking it!

Been playing it since it was in beta and still love it just as much (if not more now)

Here is to a hell of a game and my fav online fps in years

You must've accidentally joined a friendly server.. I see and hear just as many idiots on PC and console. There's a reason I've had to turn voice chat completely off on TF2, and it's the same reason I plug my headset into my controller and just dont wear it when I play on 360.

Congrats anyway, it's a fun game and will probably take you a while to get tired of it :)

I like how you brought up community's per systems, Ive rarely EVER had a good experience with other people on xbox live, it is 97% covered by people that are just not fun to play with because they are just jerks or simply waaaay to immature. PC without a doubt across most spectrums has a MUCH more friendly community than any console counterpart. With that said though, people on battle.net games like warcraft 3 etc, are some of the worst communities I've ever witnessed.

It does have the worst community. Play a few days of Heroes of Newerth and you will feel like the people on Xbox Live are nice.

Actually its just that the douchebag capital of PC gaming is Counter-Strike: Source.

Anyway its good to have you on board, good luck and have fun with Team Fortress 2 :D!

Douchebags are at Counter Strike: Source, the kids are at Modern Warfare 2.

But welcome aboard! Team Fortress 2 is deffo my favorite game so far.

My roommate was playing it to test some stuff, and he got addicted to it again after not playing a long long time, so I got in the act too after watching him play. It's so much better with the added customizations. I've been playing TF2 very much the past week. I forgot how fun it was. I had not really played it since before all the updating with new items and what not.

im done with that game but its the fps wich i sticked the longest :) engineers ftw!

Yeah, it's a fun game my problem is that i don't like any of the classes... =/

Glad you are enjoying it tf2 is a great game lots of fun times i had playing. As for the community tf2 has one of the best communities i've seen there still **** on there but compared to other online communities its alot better.

Yep, console players with mics are usualy 12 years old who scream, or just idiots.

Gaming on PC is just so much more fun.

unless your parents already have a decent pc and know how to upgrade it.Kh1ndjal

Which again, makes up a very small portion of parents.

Of course there are exceptions.. the whole point was that it's easier for a younger person to just obtain/play a console.

Few 12 year olds out there say 'Hey mommy can you upgrade the processor and graphics card for the PC in the living room?'. Conversely, several of my friends have purchased consoles for their children. No PCs, but a few consoles.

The community is generally great on TF2, simply because its a more casual game. Go on LoL or DotA and you'll soon learn that "hardcore" PC gamers are far worse than anything a console could ever produce. But congratz on buying the game, it is a personal favorite of mine as well.

17 backstabs in one life as a spy is my best :D

yea its just different because i never really have a positive experience on xbox live or even when ive played on psn outisde of frends, but i guess it does vary from game to game.
