they don't want you to know this is what a heavy weapons guy looked like in 1999time to talk about (Quake TF, Team Fortress Classic, Unreal Fortress, Quake 3 Fortress, Fortress Forever, etc.)
>>12188964My proudest moment in that game was beating a demoman to death with the fat civilian's umbrella.
generic weapons guy
The great debateQ3F/ETF or Weapons Factory ArenaLast polling results were unsatisfactory
>>12188964I was entranced by the early prototype screenshots of TF2. I was repulsed by what we got.
>>12189364TF2 is great and so is Wind WakerCope
>>12189364The only game that reminds me of old BOA TF is the first Red Orchestra
>>12189364you were "entranced" by generic army men doing generic military activities in generic war scenes?
>>12189383>TF2 is greatit's literally redddit the gamethe game of choice of every retarded gamer girl back in the day
>>12189902historical revisionism but i'll forgive you because tf2 is kusoge trash that ko'd multiplayer fps along with mw2
>>12189364boa would have been such a great game with the infinite turrets
The og Quake mod is better than the source trash
>>12189947do you actually mean source or goldsrc?
>>12189898To be fair, back in 1999 most popular FPS were based on sci-fi or fantasy settings, like Quake, UT, so a grounded military shooter must have felt fresh at the time
>>12189947FF is on source and it's good THOUGH
best thing about FF, is that pyro is not that useless now
>>12190104fortressone takes some balance cues from ff even
>>12189898>>12189957Yes exactly this, and multiplayer games were basically just deathmatch shootfests, so the way the military players seemed to be engaged in an interactive world was absolutely novel to me. Of course it was just a few blurry screenshots so my young mind filled in a lot of blanks.
>>12186385Tried some shit out based on this, turns out that you can also play FortressOne on a Mac by putting the fortress folder that's in the FortressOne root folder (not the one under tf28) into the FTEQW.app folder where your id1 folder is located.
>>12189036It was supposed to be set in black mesa, before the new models and the tf2 retcon
>>12191538it wasn't supposed to be set anywhere lore sperg
fortress forever??????
>>12191621Next Tuesday at 9:30 PM EST
Favorite AVI's? Fragmovies? this is my first exposure to TFC avis, good moviehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0UsNfCt6Pk
>>12190126fortressone also takes balance cues from TF2
>no way to play without steam>every game is gated behind steam now:(
>>12192770Have you tried pirating?
>>12192554qwtf.org has some good ones linked
I still play it thoughever
Combat medic is so fun
>>12189364I want the prototypes of Quake 2 TF2 before the game moved to GoldSRC
>>12189898Hadn’t been done like that before. Basically would have been Battlefield: 1942 without the WW2 flavor.
>>12194985More like Battlefield 2 on smaller city maps.
Why did it fail?
>>12195194Arrived too late, low visibility, not casual enough for most people.
Opened TFC on Xash FWGS for shits and goggles, turns out someone is hosting a server for it
>>12195205>>12195194Not casual enough? there were many pub and fun servers back then, basically many people moved on and also the mod balance changed from QWTF based to more into TFC because the playercount was lowering and the pug scene wanted more TFC balance, hence why scout has lost the enemy scouting hability to a jump pad in the later versionsBut anon is correct, it was released on the wrong timing sadly, funnily enough, Robin Walker endorsed the mod in a interview years ago
>>12195194more like fortress never
>>12189364No you weren't, you're just a contrarian
>>12189898>generic army men doing generic military activities in generic war scenesit's better than whatever the fuck this is supposed to be
>>12196235>whatever the fuck this is supposed to beA joke enabled by a joke item? Wow, the game is ruined.
>>12189898>zoomer doesn't remember how exciting it was to see screenshots of upcoming games in magazines or websites because he is overwhelmed with more content than his mind can handle
>>12196203>Not casual enough?In comparison to other class based shooters of the time? Absolutely.It basically died in the same ditch as arena FPS. And CS would be dead in there too, if Valve didn't do what it did with CSGO.
Nobody cares about beta TF2. HLOpfor, Counter-Strike, Quake Firearms 98 and general GoldSrc modding made sure of that. That's why nobody misses it, years after the final TF2 came out.
>>12196279Day of Defeat, Frontline Force, Tour of Duty, D-Day Normandy, RtCW MP/ET, Battlefield 2, Hostile Intent, Red Orchestra, True Combat: Elite, Insurgency...
>>12196264I agree, sincerely speaking, i think the current version of FF is the most accesible version of old team fortress, you have auto-bhopping, you have tips on about class matchups on death, vanilla maps like 2fort are more open, and infamous places like the spiral is more opened up and less chokey, and so onshame with the resurgence of 'old' shooters from the new indie games of the latest years, there are actual few multiplayer games or little interest in old or in making new AFPS games, the children yearn for grenade jumping
>>12196306the children do not want to interact with anyone outgroup at any cost. roguelites exploded because they're exactly like grinding season passes in mobas without having to deal with random people
>>12196306>the children yearn for grenade jumpingUnironically. Open Fortress was quite a hit for some time, despite not being of much interest for the old guard who was at the time crying about Diabotical being a flop.
>>12196321every AFPS plays almost exactly the same in FFA and their differences only show in duel and TDM, which bottomfragger and bottomfaggot alphablaster never cared for
EXCUSE ME, IM IN NEED OF MEDICAL ATTENTION!
>>12196235Hats and F2P were a (profitable) mistake.
I don't need no Team Fortresshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZQ2lrFKtPM
too many people are gay for tfc medic
>>12197391I find old and new tfc medic cool looking, shame about the tf2 sh*ppers
>>12191745Invited /vm/>>>/vm/2076782
fortress forever tomorrow
>>12196235It's sad the game ended up like this but it's not how it launchedThere's literally nothing wrong with pre-inventory TF2
>>12198183That's why pre fortress 2 and tf2 for xbox exist
what is the most fun class and why its demoman
>>12196235the disgusting proportions even leaked into hl alyx
>>12199369for me it's scout and medic
>>12191568>not knowing about the planned HL/TFC crossover expansion
>>12196321They bitch about movement being nerfed in Battlefield and should really start looking for games that aren't trying to be too realistic for rocket jumping.
>>12196229Anyone who played TFC was repulsed by that console shooter masquerading as Team Fortress
Valve was never good.Everyone was repulsed by HL2, TF2 and Portal.
>>12200785hostile takeover was the same post-factum retcon and didn't even release
>>12200868>mfw Australia-kun has moved on to hating Valve now that hating Nintendo is popular kek
I like Juno, the D-Day style start is really fun
What server?
>>12201646MaxTF Classic.
>>122017623 on so far
>>12201786Despite the low playercount, it was fun, I can tell this game was really fun when it came out
>>12188964Hunted was the most fun map and it's a crime that game mode was never officially reproduced in TF2.I remember once playing as the hunted, and the enemy team had 5 snipers who were the best snipers I'd ever seen. No one ever made it out of the vent or out on to the street. Instant headshot every time. Everyone thought they were hacking, but they really were just that good.
TFC Hunted was the best competitive multiplayer gaming experience ever made. Me and my bros grew up on Doom and Quake (and everything before that) and played that shit religiously for years. We weren't even really interested in TF2 at first when it was (finally!) announced and stuck with the classic. It was just so good. You can't describe the culture of persistent online servers back in those days, when they were like little clubhouses and not distributed anonymous ad hoc shitholes full of retarded children screaming for jannies because you said a "cuss". God the internet was so fucking good when it was just 18-24 year old white men with above average technical skills.
>>12201913My nigga...Even though I was playing it when I was like 13-15 years old
I wish someone would port Turbine to FF, TFC or Quake TF
>>12188964the heavy weapons guy used to be a reskin of the ranger model you fuckin liar
>>12203268A European server hosted this map for someone's birthday just weeks ago, it was super fun, total chaos, many people were in the serverhttps://gamebanana.com/mods/611535
>>12203515Thanks anon!!!
Anon's random TF scout breakdownScout in old TF is the flag runner, if you want to complete the objective, this is class is a fine choiceThis class is suitable for CTF, some A/D maps have grenades as a limited resource and the conc grenade is his special grenade so he will not have the conc most of the time on A/D so its preferable to run Soldier, Pyro or Medic to try to cap the pointIn CTF, you are the best capture class among Medic, as a Scout with a mere strafejump can dodge any proyectile in the game with ease and effortsly compared to Medic where, usually if you are DMing a Soldier or Demo, your best bet is fighting him with your SSG and using your nades, but with Scout you just go straight Also worth noting that Scout has usually a extra conc grenade compared to Medic which this can be really helpful when comes to routing your way to the enemy flag, you can use the extra grenade to escape, conc the enemy team and move onYour main weapon is your movement, doesn't matter if you die 50 times, when you cap the flag it's where you truly shine, some top clans at the time ran scout full time because of their amazing bhopping and dodging skills
can we play non-steam tfc (either through cd+won2 or xash3d) or fortressone sometime?
>>12204442BONK
Would love to try out Fortress one or WON TFC, maybe we can gather a pub
>>12189898I was particularly excited to see an FPS embrace cooperation and teamwork between players more than had currently been done. People were talking about all sorts of things like heavy machine guns being a team weapon, snipers needing spotters, engineers having to repair tanks and vehicles, and map objectives providing munitions and resources so your team could keep fighting. The idea of a strategic metagame was amazing when our other FPS games at the time were very much an evolution of deathmatches with mechanics from Quake.Eventually, we did get things like Battlefield and Enemy Territory, but before all that Team Fortress was talked about going down that evolutionary path.
There was a random FF game today, it had a lot of players, so much fun
YOU GOT THE FLAG
>>12205486of course, when would we play?btw for won2 tfc there's one server hosted by protoweb, we could play in it
>>12197348counter strike is for third worlders
>>12207498maybe on planet retard from the cuck galaxy
>>12207498Good taste in games? nice 1.6 is better than CS2 anyways
>>12207498Unfortunately most of the first world doesn't pay attention to /vr/ games anyway
>>12206084map looks comfy ngl
EXCUSE MEI'M IN NEED OF MEDICAL ATTENTION
>>12192554https://youtu.be/VKYE7eoICJIAn absolute classic remastered bt the fortressone fellas
FF game will be hosted in about 4 hours
FF game started
>>12198379I just install mods to make my game look like its from 2007 and play exclusively on community servers. Its fucking GRIM what they did to that game's art style.
Got some frags from the latest FF session, might upload them here
>>12210896
>>12210903>>12210924FUCK YEAH FORTRESS FRAG CLIPS
>>12210941There are more as well, but i will upload them tomorrow i thinkShould i make a frag movie? I gathered so many stuff
>>12210943NTA but frag movie for sure, i'll watch it.
>>12210943DO IT FAGGOTyou could even use this song for maximum retro feelzhttps://youtu.be/dw9TSKExOpE(if you want to of course)
>>12210947Thanks! will probably make it after a month or two, hopefully will post it on a team fortress thread on /vr/ if the threads are still active>>12210949This song is really good, i was thinking using the main theme of FF, but this fits even better, thanks anon
>>12189364Nigger, this is literally just "generic military man shooting a gun" You could literally get this from just playing with action figures. There's no style or anything. You and all of these other faggots will dickride this nonsense about "durrr manning a machine gun and driving vehickles!! you zoomies dont understand" and then turn around and say "Call of Duty Modern Warfare and Battlefield 3 are heckin garbage, updoots to the left!"We've literally gone from "TF2 is kino and mogs literally every shooter made nowadays despite being 15 years old" to "TF2 is hecking tranny garbage, not like my tactical shooter kino!">>12196254Le zoomer, I am BOOMER!!! ZOOMER GOING ZOOMIES >>12196235Kill yourself.

>>12196306>the children yearn for grenade jumpingno, they do not. stop projecting your nostalgia onto others, UNC
>>12212236Yeah modern games have everyone running around and climbing up walls, sliding around, having advanced motion that actually looks like characters performing that activity. Any of these Ye Olde Quake shooters are just fun for those of us who played them as kids, I only have met a handful of zoomers ever who play these sort of games and they're chasing comp scenes in whatever the latest quake flavor is.
>>12211890i've always said tf2 is hecking tranny garbage
>>12211890>tf2fag chimping outbusiness as usual
HUH
>>12212236>bitching about uncles on the uncle boardNo, I refuse to remove those last too letters.

>>12212236>nostalgia motivatedyou're the unc, unc
>>12213986I never played these games I started with tf2. there is no nostalgia for meconc/grenade jumping is gay as fuck and no modern audience wants it back
>>12213994TF2 nostalgic for you and don't pretend it isn't
>>12213994>conc jumping is gay>sticky jumping is okay
Fortress Forever's training mode is so good bros, it does make me feel like I'm getting gud
>>12172821>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMBg7ynb18II wanted to try this out on my Wii but I can't figure out how to change the QRevPak.xml and ini files to include Team Fortress because I'm retarded, does anyone know how to get it working?
>>12215445It's illegal how good FF is, not to fanboy but it is quite the deserved sequel that TFC needed, not only that, it has a great netcode, i managed to play games even with 200 ping, and it felt like i had 150
Anyone up for some WON2 TFC later?https://archive.org/details/half-life-platinum-gotyhttps://www.moddb.com/downloads/won2-listing-patch
>>12217425Im interested, would you like to play this weekend, perhaps?Btw who is going to host?
>>12212236>Pre-Fortress 2 proved that the children can handle grenade spam>Open Fortress showed that today's kids still like arena shootersStop being a retarded ass fuckin' negro and open your eyes
>>12218290>>12215350>>12214741i know this is /vr/ but you don't have to tell lies. tf2 is popular, mods trying to recapture tfclassic are not popular.100 players at peak hours at peak interest and hype during a single weekend for some shitty mod is not comparable. times have changed, nobody has time for bunnyhopping or strafejumping or playing vs 30 year old russians/australians with 50,000 hours in Q1 and Q3.
>>12218376Somewhat true, the thing is, that Open Fortress and Pre Fortress 2 is having a following since most of the player base is a almost a clean state with mostly Zoomers who are getting into AFPS, and these games arent 'hardcore' or 'appealing' enough for 10000 hour players to play in them
*conc*
>>12217934sure, would either friday or saturday at 10:00pm cst work for you?
>>12219443We can try this saturday, yeah
