Is tf2 turning into a role playing game?

It's some kind of mystical glitch.

They don't change anything.

Yeah, I noticed that the other day. I'm pretty sure they're just random numbers. They don't affect anything.

 

[Laivasse]

I know they don't affect anything yet, but I'm thinking about what might happen when they implement item trading. Sorry I didn't make that clear.

I would be more inclined to believe it was a glitch if the whole idea of having 'levels' for the weapons wasn't pointless in the first place. If it does turn out to be nothing, fine, I'll rest easy.

 

[Jintor]

I don't know why they're bothering with weapon trading in the first place. EVERYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE GETS FREE WEAPONS!

I don't know. It seems to me they'd be better off just having everything available from the start.

TF2 has...different game modes

TFC doesn't

The fuck did you just say?

TF2 gametypes:
Capture the flag
Capture points
Attack/defend
Territory control
Payload
Arena

TFC gametypes:
Capture the flag
Reverse capture the flag
Capture points
Attack/defend
Territory control
Payload
1v1 ("Mulch" game type)
Team Deathmatch
Hunted
Football ("Push" game type)
Murderball
Co-op
King of the Hill (the recent soldier post on TF2 blog indicates we might be getting this in TF2)
Escape
Flag run
Destruction ("Invect3" and "SpacedOut" game type; destroying the enemy's base)


You have never played TFC. Ever. Do not lie to me.




Also guys on the topic of 'RPG or not' and unlocking/trading weapons, don't forget Valve said they want to look into giving users UNIQUE weapons as well. An RPG aspect if I ever heard one.

 

[Laivasse]

If they hold true on that 'unique weapons' threat, then I think it will probably come in the form of leveled weapons.

 

[Darkside55]

Part of me thinks it's a neat idea, if only because I enjoy having things other people don't (can't) have.

But the other part of me says HORRIBLE IDEA GODDAMN THIS IS AN FPS

 

[Don'tHate]

Even if it is getting more characteristics found in many rpgs, I wouldn't say its a terribly bad thing.

More options such as weapons and stuff are never a bad thing, they only give the player more option. The main action is still a team FPS and far from being an rpg.

I just hope I can trade multiple things for one thing because Allah knows it's going to take a lot of ****ing sandviches to get me a fedora.

Keep faith in Allah and the fedora will be yours.

 

[Laivasse]

Allah will never smile on you or your filthy, sacrilegious baloney sandviches.

More options don't always make a better game.

In this case, I don't think they make a better TF2.

LOL, if anyone was to catch me out on my baseless comments, it would be you, Darkside. <3
