I'll Take Old Hotness for 100 Alex
I'm not sure how much Team Fortress 2 I plan to play at this point. It's just not grabbing me. Upon release it burned hot and I was playing it daily at lunch. Now I'm kinda "eh" with the game.
I loaded up Day of Defeat: Source at lunch and even after a few months of neglect I still knew everything, still kicked ass and still loved it just as much as ever. The game is just so straightforward and honestly perfect. I love how the maps change every encounter and classes can really back each other up. With TF2 I don't feel like the maps change anything really. Some are better for scouts or snipers, but the game doesn't really change. My favorite multiplayer games (Battlefield, DoD, Halo 3) offer a completely different experience with every map. With TF2, the classes are the star of the show. They're really well balanced and really fun to play...but they aren't getting me to come back.
I don't know, perhaps I'm just overloaded with choice right now and TF2 is just going to have to sit on the sidelines for a bit. I'm probably being too harsh. I just wish the 6 maps they shipped were really different for gameplay.
