Retro Team Fortress 2

 

James commenter Mr. Brit comments on 1Fort to point to Ubercharged.net’s coverage of mrfredman’s remake of Team Fortress 2 in significantly fewer colours, pixels and audio fidelity. It touches my soul inappropriately.


Details and download.

Fish #641: Interesting, I should probably check that one out. Also, the "Team Fortress 2" link (love the excessive linking by the way) goes to http://www.teamfortr... ...ess2.com, not http://www.teamfortr... ...ess.com, which is the official blog.

Lack_26: I could imagine that sentry nests would be very annoying. More after I've tried it.

Lack_26: It's fun, even though half the classes are useless (spy and engineer for example), and two heavies can grief the entire enemy team by standing outside their spawn and just holding fire (although it was rather humorous for us).

 
Pentadact: Heh, I can't believe someone clicked that. Thanks for the correction - fixed now.
 

spuzman00: Lack_26 is right- without the ability to build sentries (even though it says you can) or the ability to disguise/turn invisible, the engineer and spy are completely useless. Oh, and the spy has a shotgun for some reason(?).

Jimmy Pop: I wrote this post on ubercharged! Just saying.... LOVE YOUR BLOG

Mr. Brit: Go me! Even though all I did was link to another site, but still: Go me!

Cmdt_Carpenter: Why is this game actually kind of fun. Oh the horror.

J-Man: Before I download - is this multiplayer?

Chijts: The music in this game is just stellar.

Neoviper: it appeared to me to be multiplayer, unless they coded griefing as the heavy into the bots.

Mr. Brit: Not forgetting the way overpowered snipers

Not Chris, especially not the Chris author of 1fort: Is it just me, or do a. none of the servers work or b they all lag like crysis on Vista?

Rogue: Nope, I've been having the same trouble. I get an error message within seconds of joining a server.

Suxs2bus

Matt: It is possible to, every once in a while, find a server that works, and doesn't even lag.

Ledundead: http://gg2.scose.net/
Newest version can be found here. Spy's can cloak, but engies still can't do much. Spy also has his magnum. They update pretty often, so make sure you have the latest version or else you probably won't have anyone to play with.

Azzen: Wait, there's friendly-fire in this game?

J-Man (who just got a dual-monitor setup): Hearing all the problems, I won't download.

Lack_26: I just tried the multiwinia demo, that game is frickin' awesome. I just love ranking up the number of crates and starting powers, it's hilarious. I sent so many of them to their deaths :,(

Ledundead: No there's no friendly fire. What you're talking about is friendly knockback. You aren't hurt, but the rockets and everything still hit you. J-Man: Try it, it's a beast.

Devenger: I was actually surprised at the depth of this game. You can set people on fire. You can rocketjump. What more does a person need?

J-Man: Is it dual monitor friendly? I was horrified when I found out DEATH WORM wasn't.

I got an absolutely wonderful but almost entirely useless interview with him at a party in Beverly Hills a few weeks before E3, in which he spent around half the time trying to explain the hydraulics of the system by which the leader of the Cybrans – a brain in a jar – could move ...
