Team Fortress 2 Beta Gameplay Video

Team Fortress 2 Beta Gameplay Video - Literally taken 10 minutes after I loaded up. Some nice kill shots and I actually managed to get a capture while recording.

First impressions

Pros: Pretty well fleshed out, gameplay seems balanced and is has a team feeling to it. Animations are pretty nice, there doesn't seem to be any hangups. Gameplay is fluid.

Cons: Gameplay is slower then TFC or even CSS/DoD. There's no sprinting, no grenades and rocket jumping is a little weak, you really have to time it precisely to make the jump, there's really no such thing as overshooting like you could in TFC. Turrets seem overpowered and are difficult to kill if placed correctly due to the lack of grenades.

Worth the wait? Hard to say. I'd give it a 3.5 or 4 out of 5. If this is the final release and they don't intend to make any changes, it could make for some fun but shallow gameplay. Weak rocket jumps, lack of grenades and the slow pace, I'm not sure diehards will roll over easily. Will it see league play? probably, but I doubt it will attract the same crowd as TFC did. Whether or not thats a good or bad thing remains to be seen.

Sometimes I wish I could go back in time, as a spy, in the beta :3

Reading that description, and the uploader says, "Will it see league play? probably, but I doubt it will attract the same crowd as TFC did". Now look at the game.

@CaptainMangles what makes it different is that you can download suff, but I'm not, 5 hour dowoad for just the game, hell no :P

Guys, this is the same game. Just because there are new items and tons of hats doesn't mean it's different. Just because you see a medic with a mirror or a heavy with a football helmet doesn't mean that the game play is any different. Even though there are new weapons that can change the gameplay, it doesn't make it any worse.

Good old times when it didn't turn into a hat collecting game.... I used to play tf2 allot back in 2007
