Ah. i don't think i'll bother then. Nice review.

 

[Hellrider]

What's in the update ?

 

[YtseJam]

Yes, someone forgot to mention the changelog...

Also, how exactly do you update with this patch? It didn't come in an installer form.
Do I simply overwrite the files with the content of the .zip file?

 

[Hellrider]

Probably yes.

Ah. i don't think i'll bother then. Nice review.

Just judge by yourself, blindly following reviews of free mods is something I stopped doing long ago.
What have you got to loose

FF is really fun, I loved playing it. I just love playing TF2 more

what have you got to loose

*snicker*

If you don't mind if being mostly a 1:1 remake of Team Fortress where flying medics and scouts own most servers, it's not too bad.

I feel sorry for the Fortress Forever guys. I was really looking forward to this, as I'm sure other people were too, and then they got dicked by TF2 announcement and release.

Whilst I do feel sorry for them in a way, it wasn't like Valve were deathly efficient getting Team Fortress 2 out of the door. They probably would have been a lot better off releasing a competent but unfinished mod a year ago, earning a player base and keeping them with updates to bring it in-line with what they managed in 1.0. Releasing at the same time as the TF2 Beta was just suicidal.

Likewise. In the week FF was out before the TF2 beta started, it was all I played nonstop. I really love their implementation of the pyro with 'debuffs' and burn levels.

But sadly, I enjoy TF2 more and I almost regret not playing FF.

ChangeLog

 

[nutcrackr]

FF is a great mod, probably the best mp mod for HL2, but the TF2 release left me and I'm sure others playing TF2 instead. Really bad timing for them.

If the changelog link two posts above mine doesn't work, you can use this one:

[Mr-Fusion]

How on earth did these guys not release several months before tf2?

Really terrible timing.

 

[99.vikram]

I feel that the HL2.net review of FF sucked. :flame:

In a world full of people playing crap like Smod or Fakefactory Cinematic, you should be encouraging people to play polished total conversions like Minerva and Fortress Forever, even if it's ultimately slightly worse than TF2. There are enough differences to make anyone play this once or twice a week.

It's a shame because, yeah, people do play that crap and FF is a very good mod. But at the end of the day, a site cannot review something and ignore the fact that there is something better simply because people have no taste when it comes to entirely unrelated single player mods. I should think that the FF team knew what they were getting themselves into when they made this mod: it was always going to be the case that the creators of the mod they were remaking were going to come up with something. Hell, this is Team Fortress 2 we're talking about. Nostradamus gave us less time to prepare ourselves.

you're right. I get the feeling they didn't have a choice, but still, releasing so close to the TF2 beta was the equivalent of running at a wall screaming "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHH CRY SOME MORE" and hoping that your sheer will and tenacity will cause you to break through the wall.

That might be the worst analogy i've ever seen. I've spent the last three minutes trying to figure out how that would relate to the situation at all, to no avail. I want my three minutes back please.

 

[Forceflow]

I'm giving this another shot tonight.
