Did anyone else know that Team Fortress was originally a Quake 1 mod? It's nearly ten years old now.

They've completed two weapon skins? Wait, back up a second. Can this be for real?

i've played cs source and it's realy crap compared to cs 1.6 and 1.5 , they just switched gameplay with graphics in my pinion, and i think they will be doing the same with tf 2

It was more a reference that there has been nothing in a TF world for 6
years. So my interest has waned a lot. If this does pan out and
refreshes the game then I'm all for it.

I wouldn't quite call it a flop, but it definitely isn't a big
success. And its the small changes that people don't like.
A bunch of little changes that lower the fun aspect of the game, lower
the fun aspect of the game.
Plus for a while, only noobs played cs:s, although after hl2 hit the
shelves not just the e-shelves, that was decreased somewhat, but still
not eradicated.

I found all the changes they made to make it a better calibre game, it
just in principle isn't better for the ones who just want to kill
stuff, which is the general mentality of a lot of games. (Why bother
with newer games even if that's all you want?)
