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.
jack, added you on steam - my account's desbo at dsl.pipex.com to anyone else

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.
my steam name is CozmoQ16, feel free to add me if you like. :)

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.

*bump* I can't get the friends search function to work in steam. Any other way to add friends besides searching for them?

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.

i'm pretty sure you lose your disguise if you shoot/knife, though...

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.
