Fortress modification with a ton of new changes and features. The list is far
too long to post here so check out their

I feel bad for them.

Really.

Why? They've created a fantastic mod that has plenty of players.

Not everybody loves the watered down version of Team Fortress that Valve gave us.

I agree with your first point, but that won't stop me from gouging your eyes out and forcing them up your dark places.

I still somewhat like TF2 though, I just miss the grenades and napalm rocket launcher.
I don't miss the trick jumps and crap though.

Really.

The timing was unfortunate - FF took a fair while to appear. Just as it was about ready TF2 was imminent! I would have DL'd FF but TF2 came out & so I went with that. I hope FF does well. It deserves to do well for all the hard work that was put into it. How do these guys find the time?! Good luck to em

I wouldn't call 64* players world-wide "plenty".
FF has many design flaws, the most important of which is the premise of recreating** a stale MP-game that had it's prime before y2k.

Not that I think the members wont get credit for the individual talent they have displayed. As a showcase it probably works well. It's as a game/mod that it fails.

* - simultaneous users at time of writing
** - not the same as reinventing

It's a shame that this mod somehow failed to attract a lot of players. It certainly is decent.

 

[Betelgeuze]

Well the updates show that they are still dedicated and that might still attract new players.

And let’s be honest, most mods do fine the first 2 weeks and after that most players leave. It’s something you see every time, no matter how good or bad the mod is. Besides GMod(and that’s more like a tool/sandox) there haven’t been any big mod hits for source comparable to the success of old hl mods like CS and DOD had.
I don’t think it's the mods that fail, it's the players who expect too much from mods nowadays. Mods need some time to mature, and they don’t get that time anymore.

Have you NOT seen how high demomen can get through sticky bombs in TF2?

There's a map I recognise in there from the original TFC. It's a large (long) control point map that has a bridge in the middle & a tunnel leading into this area. There's also a cave leading underneathe the bridge & a 'ramp' that leads up to the left of the area overlooking the bridge. Anyone recognise the map from that description? I'd love to play that map again.

Warpath?

I had the privilege to beta test their mod and it's really sad to see it being overshadowed by TF 2.Their timing was really bad and the few changes they made didn't help the mod either.That said, this a very professional and hard working team and if i were them i would start working on a completely new and original mod.
Either way, good luck to them.
