DOTA sucks.

HoN for life.

With the launch of Team Fortress 2's Mann-Conomy, which brought paid items to the game, Valve also allowed users to submit and sell their own created items.

Five people were able to participate in the first round of community content sales and Valve has sent them checks for the "first two weeks of sales, with royalties ranging from $39,000 to $47,000 per person." Yikes!

"At a time when content creators are struggling with changing markets and evolving technologies, the Steam community is sending a clear message with these checks," said Valve president Gabe Newell. "Platforms that enable this kind of peer-to-peer exchange of virtual goods and services are going to be enthusiastically received. They create an inherently greater efficiency in connecting creators and consumers."

The peer-to-peer marketplace is now a part of Steamworks, which will allow third-party developers that choose to use Valve's suite of tools and services access to run player stores directly through Steam. Additional Steamworks improvements are on the way from Valve through its recently announced Dota 2 project.

Information on how you can contribute to Team Fotress 2's Mann-Co store can be found here. Contributions are limited to the actual model, while the TF2 development team will handle incorporating and balancing any non-cosmetic items like weapons.

modding owns~

TF 2 won't beat Halo Reach, update it/patch it as much as you want, it's the core gameplay that matters. A re-review isn't necessary.

quake style twitch aiming gameplay > boring rountine fps gameplay

[QUOTE="SilverChimera"]What's TF2? Is it that game that's inferior to CS: Source? :oSPYDER0416

Correct!

[QUOTE="FrozenLiquid"]

[QUOTE="skrat_01"]Oh hell no! :P

I just seen something like TF2's community in any other shooter in all my time.

Guess the most similar thing to it would be.. WoW?

I dunno I think Halo's community is way bigger than TF2. Certainly TF2, as a hardcore PC shooter community is unusually massive, but it's unfair on itself to compare it to something as mainstream as Halo.

Not to say the breadth of Halo's popularity and dedication makes it any better. But really, come back to me when you can play TF2 with Linkin Park.:lol:

Instead the TF2 community can do this., this, this, and this.

and seriously LP?

Its like, we cant even joke that halo fanboys are all 13 year olds anymore, MS just prooved it.

Did you somehow miss Halo's rabid fandom? :P

Come back to me when halo frag vids look like this

Valve are useless devs whilst Bungie kick ass, I've only played Reachs MP and Firefight and they both kick the crap outta anything on PC, Wii and PS3 combined.

Ohohoh, That Slaps Me On The knee.

ive seen gameplay of this and it looks really boring to me.AiurProtoss

[QUOTE="Eggimannd"]

[QUOTE="SparkyProtocol"]Obviously the hermits that are saying TF2 have played both games. Obviously they're both comparable. I'm going to disregard the major differences in the way they both play out and also disregard all of the things you can do in Reach like firefight, racing, etc that you can't do in TF2 and I will also disregard Reach's competitive scene aka MajorLeagueFail and Arena. TF2 gais (im not super serious btw but its my 2 cents regardless)drspudz

Obviously the 360 people that voted Reach have all played TF2. There's stuff in TF2 you can't do in Reach. And TF2 also has a competitive scene.

Awww that's cute.

[QUOTE="aaronmullan"][QUOTE="drspudz"]

TF2 multiplayer only game that only has a couple of game modes? Oh yeah there is definitely no bias in this poll.

AiurProtoss
