I think this is the first time that someone\u2019s incessant fanposts on Tumblr have made me want to try a vidya game, but I am almost <\/em>tempted to give TF2 a shot<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I am surprised you didn\u2019t tag me to this post.<\/p>\n

Man, I don\u2019t do multiplayer shooters. Ever. I think the last ones I did were a little Halo 2 with college friends, and then old Goldeneye on the N64 with middle school friends. I just don\u2019t like it.<\/p>\n

But man, TF2 is amazing. It looks good. It controls well. Every class has distinct advantages and disadvantages and 2-4 different versions of those depending on your loadout, and more than ANYTHING, it\u2019s a game that encourages teamwork.<\/p>\n

Like\u2026 one player moving to medic can shift a game so much. One player moving to sniper and taking out the opposition\u2019s heavies. One to engineer, setting sentries at chokepoints and teleporters to keep your team on the front lines. One demoman laying traps on the point. One scout circling behind to take out opposing snipers or capturing a point from behind. One spy just wreaking all kinds of havok and keeping them paranoid and distracted. One good rocket-jumping soldier ruining their day because NO ONE LOOKS UP. And of course a good pyro who can either support their team or go full kamikaze and wreck a group so easily.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s just an amazingly designed game and I\u2019m so hooked.<\/p>\n

And the best thing is that it\u2019s Free to Play, you get different weapons both through random drops and by getting achievements, and the stock loadouts are still some of the best. (The best soldiers and scouts I\u2019ve seen, for example, still use stock primaries.)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

haha cuz I knew you’d see it anyway. -.^<\/p>\n

I love so many things about Valve and their game creation culture and it seems like the TF2 fans have picked up on that. hence the appreciation. maybe I’ll see if Jake wants to play with me soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
