    What a pack of n00bs, I can't believe nobody has advocated Counter Strike! I mean cmon kids, it is only THE most popular online fps ever made! More people are playing CS at any given moment than all other online fps games combined!

    I'd rather Valve spend their time making new well thought out maps or gameplay modes. How is it that after all this time, we still don't have the Hunters mode from TFC?
    You played TFC in COLLEGE?!?! Damn, you're younger than I thought. I was playing two player Doom deathmatches over direct modem connections when you were still in grade school!

    I also always though Xiahou sounds like a grumpy old man.

    I was probably playing it then too- single player only for me though. My first "gaming PC" was a Color Computer 2, that I must've gotten when I was 6 or 7.

    I found what little I played of CS to be too much lone wolfing against better wolves. What I like about TF2 is even if there are one or two spectacular player on the other team, they can be beat with some solid teamwork.

    Maybe I'm a just a n00b, Gramps. :P

    RtCW: ET was really fun though, back in the day.

    Indeed was ATPG. I quit it years ago, now that RTCW 2 is coming out, I'm surely gonna buy it. I was awesome with the rifle.
    BLARGH!

    I don't think this game is very good. I got TF2 on the basis of my good opinion of Left 4 Dead. I was expecting a game with lots of sly humour (after watching the Meet The... vids) and multiplayer replayability. Instead we have a lot of 1-D classes, no TFC grenades and very little ingame humour. I should have got COD:WaW ... then I would have been able to play Nazi Zombies .... sigh

    Favourite game. I like it's graphic, comedic value and uh....It's just fun.

    I have praised this game for it's graphical style, balanced gameplay, comedic value and for its use of full character personalities in a dedicated multiplayer game.

    Take it like a man shorty! How did that turn out for you Dummy? Thanks for standing still wanker! You best be down...MHHPHMMFGG (Pyro) Oh dear I have made quite a mess....Need a dispenser here! MAGGOTS.

    TF2 quotes and taunts have been completely glued to my head.

    Meet the "<insert TF2 character>" are also great to watch, wonder when the Medic and the Pyro comes out?

    *Engineer, Sniper, Soldier and Pyro are my favourite classes.

    Lol, I didn't end up buying RTCW 2, but the game sucked epically. Clever me, saving up some 50€.

    I think I tried the demo for that. Wasn't really impressed.
