 | I've played a bit. Don't really care for online FPS', every round seems to play out the same way once the teams work out
 a route, and the maps feel so cramped and limiting, but I
 like its look and the class system, especially the spy. It's
 good but not my thing.

 | ophecks: yeah the maps are quite cramped but i find the gameplay really non-linear, i've seen loads of games on the
 same map unfold in completely different ways and there are
 always alternative offense/defense tactics a team can try,
 maybe not so much on ctf but definitely on the capture ones.

 | Yo, TF2 fucking rocks. I played TF classic like 4 hours a day many years ago, and I've been playing TF2 for about the
 same (maybe 3 hours a day). My favorite classes are Soldier
 (my personal best, I dominate people with rockets), Pyro,
 Engineer, Recon, and Sniper. I'm not a fan of spies for one
 reason: every server I've played on has team-damage turned
 Off, which means that when people are defending an area, all
 they have to do is shoot everything that moves. If blood
 squirts out, it's a spy, if the bullets do nothing, he's on
 your team. Also, the cloaking device still has sparkles or
 something coming off of it for a while while you first
 cloak, so it's not that easy to use (i.e. people can still
 see you). I'm sure if I played on a server with team-damage
 enabled, however, spies would be awesome and would change
 the game mechanics significantly.

 | I play for 3 hours on the days that I play that is. Haven't played in 4 days, actually, due to being out of town and
 working. Will probably come on today, though.

 | It's important to get on a good team I guess... some rounds are really chaotic and formless, but the times I've got into
 a game with people that know what they're doing, things work
 a lot better. The game is just too in-your-face for my taste
 though.
 
 IE- I suck

 | no dude, that doesn't work because they can see blood flying off you if you are on the enemy team, whereas no blood comes
 out if you shoot a teammate.

 | so while playing tonight I found out that blood only comes off of an enemy spy that isn't disguised. You were right
 about playing it cool, because if you get shot in disguise
 and act like it didn't damage you, sometimes it fools your
 opponent. It seemed as though blood always comes off enemy
 spies, probably because most of the people i've encounted
 panic after I shoot at them once and blow their cover by
 firing back. The game is so fast-paced it's often difficult
 to tell exactly what order things go down, but anyway I
 stand corrected.

 | While it does look like a pretty solid multiplayer shooter, the cartoony graphic style just rubs me the wrong way.
 
 I love that style for games like Monkey Island (which I'm
 currently playing through the whole series), but I like my
 shooters dark and gritty.

 | i love the cartooniness of TF2, pretty refreshing compared to all the other FPS's out there. The model animations are
 great as well - just don't press G in the middle of a fight.
