Team Fortress 2
Team Fortress 2 Classic (TF2C) is a modification for Team Fortress 2 that attempts to bring back the glory days of Team Fortress Classic (TFC). If the developers are going to take the time to combine TF2 and TFC, why not just play Fortress Forever (FF)?
Lets go back in time 2 years to when TF2 was released. Most of the tf2 players were glad that the grenades were removed. One of the main reasons was because of the grenade spam. But chances are – most of the people saying that had never played Quakeworld Team Fortress, TFC or FF. I personlly remember being in several TF2 games when the topic of TFC came up. Several of the players made the statement – “there are other versions of Team Fortress?” Well yea, where do you think the “2″ comes from? Since a lot of TF2 players had never played any other version of Team Fortress, they have no real experience to base their opinions on.
So how can players really say that they were glad grenades had been removed, when they had never played with grenades – they can’t. To be able to voice an opinion on something you need some kind of experience on the matter. And a lot of TF2 players, TF2 is the only version of Team Fortress they have ever played.
When TF2 was released, players were glad there were no grenades, players were glad there was no bunny hopping, players were glad the classes was overly balanced, players were glad that capture the flag (CTF) was no longer the focus, players were glad to see a bunch of cap point maps and only 1 or 2 CTF maps,,,,. Overall, it seemed that TF2 was the best Team Fortress game to ever be released. Were the majority of the players really “that” happy? Or, were they just going with the crowd and only repeating what others had said?
My personal opinion on the matter – most of the TF2 players that said they “loved the game”, were just going along with the crowd. Its called peer pressure. They were just repeating what others said so they were not ridiculed be the other players.
There has been a lot of complaints that TF2 is turning into a role playing game with its unlockable weapons. The classes are moving further and further away from their traditional roles. The people saying this stuff were usually discredited and ridiculed.
Most people do not want to stand out, they do not want to have fingers pointed at them and others say “your stupid for saying that.” So the crowd mentality kicks in, people keep their mouth shut and just go along with the crowd.
