What TF2 is really.

U mad bro? Of course they're finding ways to make money, the manconomy is just that. (i will never buy crates or any of that stuff though). I do still find the game hilarious. It's just a little more chaotic that's all.

"Originally it was a faithful recreation of the original Quake and Half-Life mods"

What game were you playing?

Another TF2 hats rant. This is so boring. Don't like hats? Ignore them and play the game.

I wish I could try Team Fortress Classic but no one plays that.

I really enjoy the game. I dont give a damn for hats and cosmetic stuff. It doesn't affect the gameplay in any way.

As the heavy says:

CRY SOME MOOOOAR

TF2 is a VERY fun, VERY accessible FUN FUN FUN game! You do NOT have to participate in ANY of the collecting/crafting whatever to play, dominate, compete or have fun in this game.

Guys im trading crate 40 for a Bill's hat

How has trading made it worse? The way I see it, it's now an FPS version of Recettear. Don't tell me that's not great.

Only reason why I don't like it is because the items people want are hats that look different (unusuals) and in-game earbuds that do nothing.

I see it more like a free gold mine

So I sold my hat for 1500$. How's that wrong?

OLD

A lot of people enjoy TF2 (I don't) and they like hats. And achievements. And stats. And piss in a jar.

Keep crying baby

Yeah, but I find it fun.

That is Team Fortress 2 for people who just like to spend their RL money on hats, I haven't done that yet. For those who play the real game, it's fun.

Perhaps but look at it this way people can get good(real) stuff from a game that cost nothing by doing nothing. Like the person above and many who sell their hats for thousands of dollars. In the end games are games they do nothing for us but make our vision worse, increase stress, and occasionally we get a good feeling from completion, ownage, mastery, or MAKING $1000 FROM SELLING PIXELS. Off to trade and get hats. ;)

I don't get this hate. I play the game just for fun and I even don't look on player's outfits. Why is this so big problem for some people? Doesn't this mean, that hats actually are IMPORTANT for you?

TF2 is actually a great and fun team-based game... but is cool now to hate it... because iz too mainstream, fucking hipsters

You know... there's mods that remove hats and stuff.

Also there's this thing called competitive TF2 where it's all about playing the game and most unlocks are even banned! (or pretty much all of them if you're in eu)

LOL never played for the hats. I always play because the game is FUN.

I didn't play too much of TF Classic, and none of the Quake mod, but this one is not even remotely "faithful" to the original. Granted, it's actually better in my opinion, though the exclusion of the Civilan class is somewhat lame.

This hat business is what keeps the servers so full and so active. Go see its statistics, and if you're bored, go see the server statistics too (idlers vs active ones). I'm confident tere are more people playing the game than idling. And idling is something even I do when I go to work or play xbox; still better to do on an appropriate server than having people standing at the starting point and not doing anything. TL;DR, I see nothing wrong with what you complain about.

I don't get it, the hats make it funnier :) without the hats everyone would look the same, and that would be boring ^^!

Also someone complained about the weapons, they are wrong! If they can't win from those weapons, it isn't because of their starter weapons, they just suck. I beat people with the normal Rocket Launcher (i train alot for our clan wars :p) and i mostly get in top 3 (my friend gets even higher (with normal flamethrower)) so i don't get the problem there! (tl;dr Weapons don't make you good, skill does)

TF2 is sth for guys who cant see blood`? :D

Well, you're stupid.
