don’t you think you’re over-reacting a little bit? the fact that you can’t handle or don’t like the new weapons doesn’t mean they aren’t THE WAY FORWARD, does it?

We never said we are not open to suggestions, but you’ll have to play with/against these weapons before you know anything about them.

I personally LIKE the sword and shield. They’re loads of fun. I can handle them. But for a progressing competitive FPS, I wouldn’t want to see it go towards the direction of magic sticks and dragons! :]

wow is doing pretty good in comp :D:D:D::D

I’m not sure I understand one of your points Perry. Are you arguing against the unlocks from an aesthetical perspective? As has been mentioned, fantasy games such as the Warcrafts and their ilk are played competitively without any complaints, there’s no rule that says all first person shooters must be teenage boy military wank fantasies directed by Michael Bay ;) If they think we’re weird because we throw jars of piss at each other, they probably miss out on awesome games like Mario because they think it’s ‘for kids’. Fuck ’em!

As for the limits, I agree slightly, I think eventually once the drama has settled down people will see the benefits of running 1 TDH with 1 normal rocket launcher and such limits will become unneccessary.

My point is that for a competitive FPS game that needs to progress competitively and specifically needs to impress people from other games, not just our own, playing with swords, shields and jars of piss simply isn’t the right way to go.

Limiting certain weapons to 1 only makes things more confusing to some people who may not play this game competitively, either ban them completely or allow them.

I honestly doubt that the majority cares even the slightest about what the CS or CoD boys think about TF2.

On the contrary, this game will not progress competitively if just TF2 people like it. I don’t necessarily care what the CS or CoD boys think about TF2, but I definitely care about what the big tournament organisers think of TF2. These organisers often turn out to either be CS or CoD players themselves OR alternatively just more fond of CS and CoD.

Counter contrary PerPer’! The fact that Valve updates the game and brings in “different” and new ideas is what is keeping tournament leaders interested tbh. It wouldnt be so big at the i-series if the owners didnt enjoy the game themselves in a casual sense and on the main stage finals at lan all the crowd love it for its differences, all action, and fast fun gameplay.

The game has been out 2.5 years now so we really dont have to worry about where the “Competative” side is heading as valve are taking us there and there isnt much we can do so just try to intergrate what we can and enjoy the ride.

The fact its nothing like cod/cs is the best angle we have :>

I’d say my interest in competetive TF2 has decreased slightly with each class update after the medics.
