I love the spy, it's by far my favorite class :p Getting behind a heavy just as he's about to attack with a medic next to him and wacking him with a backstab is just so fulfilling :D
Or leading the attack as a demo man with a enemy healer healing you for 200 points before you backstab him, now thats just justice right there hehehe.
Some things you forgot to mention, in the steam community, you can compare your stats to a friends (go to their profile, go to their tf2 stats and theres a button to compare to your own) and also the global achievements, similar to medals in bf2 :D

awww, the poor baby can't nadespam any more... he actually has to shoot to get some kills now. too bad.
What happened to that huge multithreading update to the source engine that bittech and others had articles about, wasn't that supposed to come out with EP2?

Thanks for your opinion. My opinion is that TF2 is quickly becoming my favorite game of all time. Oh, and I can't wait for more Portal maps!
Oh, and bit-tech, if you can't tell us why it isn't 10/10 then why don't you go ahead and score it 10/10? I understand that you have discussed for an hour and all, but if you can't tell us any reason for it to not be a 10, then just make it a 10. It is just a number, after all.
The decision I came to in the end was that "This is the best multiplayer game I've ever played since I first played a multiplayer game. Tim thinks it's at least as good as CS:S and could only be beaten by 1.6. BUT that doesn't make it a perfect or infallible game. For me to give a 10 to something I suppose I'm really looking for something fresh or unique or rare. Games like BioShock, Deus Ex, System Shock 2, etc - which only come along once every five or so years.
TF2 is an awesome game and IS the best multiplayer game I've played, but it is essentially just a well balanced remake and team based multiplayer games like this are a dime-a-dozen (See: Quake Wars). If it had just one or two extra game modes which were something I hadn't seen before then it would have got a ten I think.
Ten is a number, true. But it also represents something about the game to communicate that games like this don't come along often and that this one is worth killing your grandma for. TF2 is worth killing for, but isn't exactly the freshest thing in the world despite it's cool presentation and excellent graphics.

Shun the Non-Believer, SHUN, SHUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNN!
Yeah you are right, aside from the fact classes have less abilities, or not been buffed or nerfed from previous TF games, no grens!?!?1, and its very slow paced, the shallow gameplay layered with pretty snazzy graphics makes this a must play game! Play QW:TF, TFC, FF, anyother fortress game, and come and explain what TF2 has built on apart from having the same 9 classes?
I have read there is going to be a gren mod for TF2, but with the way the game is set up it'll be a spam fest, which is why they took grens out in the first place I assume, because it (the spam fest) didnt play well (and I say that loosely :P ) on the consoles with the console controllers. I just dont feel like I'm involved when I play, I want to be bhopin, priming grens and shooting people and going for the flag, rather than running around, shooting people and going for the documents, the respawn timer and 90 (that max at moment?) fov also adds to the leisurely pace and feel of the game. I don't think TF2 is a bad game, just bad in comparison to other fortress games ;)
I love Pyro, you just need to know when to use the shotgun and when the flamethrower. It might be me but I think Pyro is especially a suicidal class, wading into heavy defended area and setting everyone on fire but being killed just moments after (I love o hear the soldier scream fire, the auto-taunts are done extremely well). Can't get more than 6 kills, but it's worth it (maybe I die so fast in battle because of my crappy GFXcard). Pyro is excellent when you team is trying to defend it's last control point.
My biggest problem is that nothing shows up on your HUD when you finally killed someone. Because there's usually many people dying and killing at the same time it would be nice to know which ones you killed without having to check through the obituaries (the scroll at the top). Especially when you're a Pyro and it may be a while after before they die.
And at times their so said attempts to reduce stalemates seem to make it impossible to recover after a bad start (or I always seem to be on the bad team (had a heavy that kept hidding behind cover even when I ubercharged him, GOD I hope the n00b factor will wear of quickly (although be fair, I'm not the best player ever as well)). There seem to be little retaliation chances.
I've never played the original, but if it is better than this WOOOOW.

I had a look on the steam website earlier and you seem to be able to buy it for US$30. Oh its out btw (i think)
its already been out and has been for quite a while now. you can buy it standalone for $30 i believe or buy the orange box for $50.
Or leading the attack as a demo man with a enemy healer healing you for 200 points before you backstab him, now thats just justice right there hehehe.

I prefer FF to be honest...

haha you're kidding right? after they boosted pyro towards the end of the beta hes probably the closest thing to overpowered TF2 has

Try the Fortress Forever (FF) mod, this is as close as it gets to the original TFC but with new eycandy...
