Team Fortress 2 Free to Play

In case you haven't heard , Team Fortress 2 is finally Free-to-play. Go get it already if you haven't! Clearly the best Team-based FPS I've played (well, Monday Night Combat comes close too)

Personally, I'm saddened by this move ...because I paid for the game :razz:.
Anyway , cheers to Valve for doing this ...the population will now explode on the servers. Valve will still make money from this game though , thanks to the in-game cash shop (the cash items don't detract from the gameplay, don't worry).

Good news for us Indian gamers is that there are several Singapore servers out there , which give a ping of roughly 100-120ms. So , don't worry about lack of servers.

See you on Steam , my id is Tachyon1986

Re: Team Fortress 2 Free to Play

damn! should have known this a while ago. I got this game just a few days back, didnt even install it! WTF!?

EDIT - No problem for the people who bought the game before all this. Check the FAQ here - *www.teamfortress.com/freetoplay/faq.php

quote from the web page -
If you've ever spent money on TF2, you have a premium account. This includes purchasing the game before it was Free-to-Play, activating a retail version of the game, or making a purchase in the Mann Co. in-game store.

read the context on the website then.

Those who have bought it enjoy unrestricted trading, a free hat, and all item drops and a bigger back-pack etc etc etc. as well as all blueprints for crafting.

Free users don't have these.

I played it from October - January. Plenty of TDF people play this game but we haven't bothered to organize ourselves and play together. This is weird and surprising for such a popular game.

is the game MP only or SP also? If there is SP mode, is it playable in the free version?

It's an MP game, and it's epicly fun

SP is training and all, don't think it's completely available for free(isnt required, when I started there was no SP), you can play against BOTs, but as I mentioned, TF2 is what the online makes it (and the hats)

If this is such a good game and not to forget that it is played by many TDF members, then there is no harm in playing together, right?

What is more fun when you are playing with your fellow buddies. :)

The main problem most users will have with installing the game , is the huge bloatware called "Source". TF2 takes around 7GB to install , but you'll also have to download the Source Engine which takes 3.5GB roughly :p

Good news is that if you already have any games that use the Source engine , you don't have to redownload it for TF2.

^^ LOL

Half Life 2 and the episodes
Portal 1 & 2
Counter Strike: Source
Team Fortress 2
L4D 1 & 2

But, this method only works till TF2, in case of L4D, the files are installed separately in another folder.

hey i just realized that the size of tf2 mentioned on steam client is 9800MB
i thought it was 980 Mb

Is it true?

why this game is having such a large size even so it doesn't have that top notch gfx or sp campaign
