AWKWARD ZOMBIE

I think the character would just be infinitely stuck on a wall or something. That'd be hilarious though.

Gotta love how people are complaining that it costs cheddar, saying "but TF2 is freeeee".
Who are forgetting that TF2 is over 9 years old, cost cheddar for half of that time and had probably less content when it got released. Payload wasn't even a thing yet when it came out.

i actually remember the first hat drop. dustbowl, 2nd part of the map. a guy named Beckel got the heavy football helmet (and mained heavy)

the entire server was fucking going nuts.




i dont see overwatch having moments like that, considering we won't have our own servers, just quick play and such

I find it erroneous to compare them too closely. I fully plan to keep playing the shit out of both of them.

I haven't played TF2 in a long time. Maybe I should reinstall it.

If you've been away for a while, its nice to come back to it. Especially if you're playing on a shenanigans server like class wars where you can gradually learn how people use the new weapons. (I fucking love the Loose Cannon.)

ill compare them all i want because they are both shooters that i've played. i have bodaciously played tf2 since it released, and i am quite sick of it. Overwatch tickles the same way tf2 used to, but in the way that i didnt give a shit if i got a hat or an unusual or something.

just playing the game makes me pop flyin', whereas on tf2 i played because it was like oh hey i could get more shit to sell

There's three main reasons why I feel like they really shouldn't be compared that much;
-21 classes, compared to just 9, one of which (Spy) has virtually zero equivalence; the closest would be McCree using a revolver and having an instant kill in his ult. There is no real subterfuge class. Everyone else has something that makes them at least a mix of one TF2 class and some original shit.
-A much stronger focus is put on team cooperation when each side only gets six heroes, which is pretty much the bare minimum for a real TF2 match. You really never want to split up into more than two bunches at most, whereas in TF2 to be effective you have to attack/defend from all sides. There's not a constant scoreboard, and there's more focus on giving everyone credit for assists and support.
-Its much stronger on defensive tactics than TF2; In TF2, you have the engineer as the only builder, the medic as the only healer, and the heavy as the only real meatshield; None of the other classes are really what you would describe as 'support' or 'tank'.

The fact that everyone has a fixed and rather quite limited loadout and whatnot makes a big difference too. It also has much more dynamic movement focus, with specific abilities rather than just 'people run at different speeds, the scout can double jump, and the explosive classes can launch themselves with their attacks'.

alright so classes: they had to be different somehow, and also lemme just say, junkrat done right? is a perfect spy without cloak doing sticky jumps

focus on team? they just made it like standard 6v6. less resourcse they have to spend on keeping that many in a server at once and tf2 did the whole pro scene of 6v6. guess what overwatch wants to do

differnet types of classes: thats what weapons were for, or did you forget things like the direct hit/loch load being sentry busters along with say you know concherour/buffbanner/thatotherdefensiveoneicantremember

and the movement shit? have you not seeng surfing/rocket jumping? there is so much more movement in tf2 its unreal compared to overwatch. the only different is that its limited to ppl who know HOW to do it


im not saying they are clones, but they are similar, in the same way that cod is similar to battlefield. no they arent they same but they stilll shoot the shit outta each other


editors note: this is not written in anger or spite if it comes off that way. it is 4:38 am in the morning and i am very tired lol

And I would still contend that while apples and oranges do have a long list of similarities, comparing them feels like you're just doing it to be contrary.

ill compare an apple to an orange as well. i like oranges and dont like apples, both are fruit lol
