I have been on a tear playing Team Fortress Classic!

Cool! Just requested a beta key.

How did I miss this? I'm having college flashbacks.

I just requested a pre-release key on their forum. They're giving them out to anyone who asks and will give multiple keys if you want some for friends.

i take it that TF1 > TF2 ?

/shrug, I haven't played tf2 (although I do own the bundle it came with, just never bothered to install tf2), so I can't really comment.

tf - mod for the original quake 1 game, first made. Also, there was a team fortress mod for quake 2, that never seemed to be as popular as the quake 1 version. Pretty sure the quake 2 mod was just called team fortress, same as the quake 1 version.
team fortress classic - originally a mod for half life, think they released a stand alone version of it a few years later though
tf2 - stand alone game, bundled with portal, among other games, with..what was it called, the orange box or something?

I'm sure arguments could be made, about which one is best. It would be a hard question to answer though, since the tech was so different between the 3 (4?) versions of the game. Direct comparisons would be a bit difficult.

My favorite will always be the quake 1, original mod though. I spent many years playing that version

Coming from someone who played both, I personally like the style and flow of TF1 vs TF2. I never got into TF2, sure I played it often but I never actually had true genuine fun while doing so. Maybe its nostalgia, or maybe TF1 is actually better. All I know is, I would pick TF1 over TF2 any day.

I've only played TF2 and sadly (or gladly ), that's about all I've been playing lately.......it's just waaay too much fun!!! It's really fun when you get good players on each side.

A couple of things during gameplay I just don't get is:

1) After defending a base for 99% the time (in Attack/Defense Map), and none of the Blue team has occupied the last base, the Red team still looses??? never understood why this happens???

2) I also hate when it automatically switches me to the other side in the middle of battle!!!.....and also that Stalemate thingy....what's up with that??

Anyway, is this TFC worth getting? (I know it's free, but still....)

It was fun also in Quake 2.
