Fortress Forever Update

The team at Fortress Forever have given us another release, this time a model render of possibly the most used weapon in Team Fortress Classic, the super shotgun. In addition, they've whipped up a conceptual of the medic, as well as a wallpaper of the medic and demo concepts. [br]

so freakin' awesome

edit: check the media page, it has some nice sounds
 
TF2 is not going down the drain, it's been laying dead in the sink since 1999, and no one has the balls to turn on the garbage disposal.
 
ya, thank god for Fortress Forever. I'm looking more forwards to this mod than an official TF2, that will never come. The models and concept art look great and I cannot wait to play this when it is released.

It's just more proof that someone will pick up the slack, Valve took TF2 for granted, and now if it ever comes out it will probably be overshadowed by other people's mods who decided they were sick of waiting. The same thing is going to happen with The Specialists which at this time doesnt seem like its gonna be ported by the original team (here comes the knockoffs). We can only hope that the mods will stand up to their influential predecessors.
 
This is one of the few mods i've been checking every now and again to see how its going. If only that team had no live and jobs/school so they could work on it even more. :)

TF2 != TFC2.

Fortress Forever is more like TFC:S.
 
this is currently my favorite mod in development for hl2 right now. ive been seeing more updates from them then from anyone else and plus tfc is my fav hl1 mod. great team
 
Not a big fan of TFC but this looks better and better with every update.
 
That shotgun looks like a toy. Not saying it's bad, it just feels like a toy to me.
 
aww man i really like the original (not the VERY ORIGINAL) TFC model themes rather than a weird surgeon dood
 
Have to tell that the shotgun is damn ugly, it looks like a toy and i just hate it. But i do love your concepts, those are awsome
 
wow, sounds and looks like every other mod "we'll soon see"
 
Medic looks nice, but I dont like the shotgun so far. Of course, it is a work in progress, so it's really too early to judge.
 
The shotgun looks toy-like because it hasn't been skinned yet. ;)

decs will bring it to life.
 
No, thats not the reason. Its because its so ugly shaped and fat, it looks like a water pistol
 
It was tweaked quite a bit and ended up being exactly what I'd expect from a TF shotgun. We wanted a nice, chunky and powerful looking gun. It perhaps depends on what you were expecting, I guess. Most shotguns look like real-life / CS models these days -- it's pretty fair to say that ours was never intended to be like that. :)
 
I think its cool. Having realistic guns has not been TFC's game anyway. Take the HW guy, or the sentry guns. Having a CS-like realistic gun would be more silly then this gun...
That said, the proportions do seem a little off, just on aesthetic values....

I find it very exciting that there is such great content coming from this team... So many mods look like 'vaporware', and this one looks like it's coming along swimmingly.... Cheers to the FF team. :cheers:
 
One thing to take note of is the fact that, when held as a viewmodel, the bottom third of the shotgun (i.e. the part towards the trigger) isn't even viewable. As a p_ model, it's much the same. The barrel and the upper breech are mainly what's visible as the ssg toted by friends and enemies alike. :)

It'll look a lot more interesting when skinned. Thanks for the comments (both the "I like" & the "I don't like") by the way.
 
oh i should have noted that i like the model just fine, and im sure it will be impressive when skinned, i just cant resist a good super soaker joke :E
 
As a mod we definitely want to be open with people and share the creation process. That does mean at times people see items that are unfinished not skinned or not in its completely context. But thats cool with us, we love to hear all your comments.
 
the shotgun looks too small to be the super shotgun, maybe make it a little longer? And where is all the supplies that the medic uses?...in that little brown pouch he has on his belt? I hope that's not it.
 
ya you would like it longer :rolleyes: , personally I think that it's cool the way it is, for some reason the fact that is almost as wide as it is long makes it look powerful. Remember its not supposed to be like a real shotty.
