TFC is cartoony as fuck. It's my favorite fucking game in the entire fucking world and I'll fucking beat you up over the internet if you imply that realism was in any shape or form the way to go.

Most people playing TFC on pubs don't really understand how the game is supposed to work. This video does a good job of showing what high-level offensive play is all about. It's 130mb and the music is awful, but that can't be helped. Most people who watch it will think it looks terrible. Those people are why TF2 was initially going to be so different.

I always go into fanboy mode when Valve of Team Fortress gets mentioned, but I can't help it. I play this game with a group of friends for a couple hours every single day.

pretty much. would like to have seen some of the defenders' work mixed in with it, though. one person's highlight reel only says so much... kinda difficult to tell whether that medic just flat out rules or whether he's also up against sucky defense.

Yeah, definitely. He's motherfucking RIZZO though, everyone knows he rules. Honestly it'd be more interesting to watch full matches. Know where to get good clips of that? Like, the kind with commentary? I'll settle for HLTV if I have to. The one skilled HLTV match I ever managed to get (that didn't crash) was really unbalanced.

The comments for that video actually said that most of the opposing clans weren't really as good as rizzo's clan, so it's a little unfair. They're sure as hell better than any clan I've ever been in though, I'm sure. So long as you remember that 90% of his runs ended in failure, and that most of the time the enemy defense was already decimated by his teammates, it makes more sense.

i'm pretty ignorant on the whole topic of gamer/gameplay videos, sorry.

i just watched, uh, lastdinosaur-APM though. that was really entertaining.

sort of what i was getting at. not to detract from rizzo (or similar players), but "high level" play is a combination of twitch and strategy. a lot of hot shit conc-jumpers aren't patient enough to scope things out before flying across the map... they often get shut down pretty quick when the opposing team makes some effort to shuffle its defenses. i.e. keep moving the SGs around, get creative with pipe-bomb placements, etc.

I didn't say a thing about realism. I'm just down on the same thing as before, only looking like a cartoon.

Also, "high level play" is always good for a laugh. Whatever, guys!

EDIT: Deets don't make fun of me just because I get angry so easily :(

Hmmm...at first, I was a bit skeptical upon hearing that TFC would adopt a "cartoony" style, but I like the look based on the group picture.

whatever YOU, dias! lol

that pic looks supercool. i like it.

also: high level sure whatever. it's just if yer really playing team fortress, it's pretty slapstick. it's fast and bouncy like a cartoon, it's tex avery's g.i. joe, so... why not a cartoonish art style, it's very fitting okay?

Since alot of people prolly don't visit Burning Indie very often, I'd like to just drop a post in here and say that my next game, Zombie City Tactics, is available here.

I doubt it's a knockoff of Prey, because the tech demo the small student group Valve picked up is much older than Prey.

Is the portal gun the new gravity gun?

Looks like it.

And yeah, I heard Valve picked up some kids from Digipen who made an eraly prototype a while ago with this portal shit in it, and brought it to Source.
