GotFrag reviews Team Fortress 2

We've read lots of positive Team Fortress 2 reviews over past months, but this one is a little different, as it's from the perspective of competitive gamers, on one of the worlds most popular "e-sports" websites; GotFrag.

There is no denying the game's potential; from the rabid pub-following, to recent interest from major e-Sport organizations, to a strong European scene, there are plenty of signs that gamers around the world enjoy playing TF2 and want it to grow into something special. But it seems that for each supporter proudly touting the TF2 flag, there's half a dozen nay-sayers labeling TF2 as nothing more then a pub game. Not to mention the disintegration of the top competitive league, CEVO-P.

So where do we stand? What's in the future? What can we, as a community, pin our hopes on as TF2 enters these murky times?

It's an interesting take on TF2, analysing its success thus far, but more importantly focuses on how the future success of it can be achieved. For the whole read, click here to head on over.

don't have a problem with crits being taken out, though what's the attraction of 6v6 over 8v8? is it a logistical thing or a gameplay thing? i'm pretty happy with 8v8 at the moment.

meh, I love crits. Gives me and other nubs a bullshit edge :)

oh and rec have you heard anyhting about the new achievements and the new medic gun? more importantly, the update date?

Achievements and new map should be arriving within a fortnight, if Valve stick to their proposed release dates (lol?).

I dont get the attraction with less players.

More is better, especially with TF2

Id like to see a 10v10 personally.

Still dont think crits have that much impact, esp where teams are both pretty even (like top 10 matches on a ladder), you crit some, you get critted some.. such is TF2

because at the "elitist" level there are a whole lotta sooks

hahaha

nice
