AMT Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 So it looks like anyone who preordered the Orange Box on Steam gets their grubby little hands on Team Fortress 2 early. Anyone here have it? How is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal Zero Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Y'know...that'd actually be good news if I took the time to preorder the thing. Oh well, still is going to be quite a good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantomINTELLECT Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I didn't think the first team fortress was that good? Is this one supposed to be any different? To me, Counter-Strike has always been the Half-Life mod champion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!Nekko! Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Did valve actually end up releasing the beta? It was winding down to the wee hours and the TF2 beta still wasn't out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skrypnyk Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 The only reason I care about the Orange Box, it because of Portals. Period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the crazy, insane game tactics that only TFC can bring. Idon't think most FPS games aside from Unreal Tournament and Tribes could do that. Really, this is the only expansion pack I'm excited about. The new Half Life chapter itself should be a lot of fun as always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antipode Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I preordered it and I've been playing TF2 today. It's amazing. They took everything good about the first one and made it way better. The graphic style is what really gets me though - it's just incredible. It runs really smooth, it's incredibly hectic, and it's hilarious.

I-n-j-i-n Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 That's good, because the old game was ugly even when it was first released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wintermute Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Two words for TF2: Ridiculously Awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!Nekko! Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Two words for TF2:Ridiculously Awesome. Quoted for emphasis. It's hard to explain - it's a little more chaotic than before, but you can be even more strategic. They balanced a ton of stuff out and there is so much more character. It's way more fun to play on all levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vivi22 Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 I've only had the chance to play TF2 a bit the past few days but it's amazing so far. Everything is balanced fairly well, though I have some issues with it (mostly changes from TFC). I don't care for the Heavy. He seems too easy to kill right now and his mini gun is horribly innacurate. I tried taking down a sentry gun as one and was killed from full health in about two seconds. Just about any other class would have faired better. I also don't like the lack of off hand grenades for every class, though I'm sure I'll get used to it, even if the Scouts double jump has nothing on Conc jumping. Thankfully there are a lot of good changes though. Infections are gone, Pyro's are actually useful, Medics are more useful and Spies have the nifty ability to take down sentries. Through it all though, I think my fvourite part is that Snipers are largely untouched. Taking head shots with the old red dot was like coming home for me.

Antipode Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 I'm really glad the Orange Box comes with HL2 and ep1. I was one of the unfortunate few to play a friend's copy and never own it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
