Team fortress 2 is now free to play! Everyone get a steam account and lets rule the TF2 world as well!

Meh, maybe.

Free? There's a catch son, Not completely free.
As In: There is limitations and what not.

Uhm, no, not really. It's completely free. There are items that can be bought in the store but they can just as well be obtained in the game through random drops or achievements.

Which has been the case for quite a while.

Ah, Well I was misinformed by Mr.xKoreaNx
I'll look into it. :3

Dammit I bought it like 2 or so months ago. $20 I'll never see again..

Translation: Valve's making enough money on those crates to move to the Korean MMO business model.

yeah i tried, had to install crap and i got confused, yes that's really how bad i am with computers
got steam to work,trying to get tf2, and it is saying "updating teamfortress2, ready to play in approximately 2 hours 30 min" dunno if its because my computer is to crappy to run the game or if it just takes forever to (correct me if I'm wrong) "install".
(i have not played it once) will it do this everytime i try to play?

Right now they are having a large update

The game is like 6 or 7 GB..

@Dreaming- Yes, there are limitations, on trading, and backpack size, for the good reason that if there weren't any, people would start idling companies. You can attain all non promotional and useful items through drops and crafting though.

@Jobs- No, normally it starts in like 1 minute, but updating/installing it takes forever... Especially with the huge number of people who just decided to DL it, or are needing updates.

I hope to see all of you, especially Lim Dul, in game soon or at some point in time, add me on Steam-> TheOneTheyCallF

I got a steam account, its like 4 years old, i used it just once, maybe twice, lol.

Great game, I highly recommend it and I'm shocked it's f2p.

I don't remember saying there was a catch, but limited users DO have a bit smaller inventory space and limited trading, not a big deal really.

Other than that, it's basically the same for paid and free.

Plus non premium accounts can't initiate trades, and steam accounts with no purchased games can't send friend requests.

no longer the case, got korean now

oh wow free to play... cool.

Just an FYI, most of the additional items and weapons you get through drops/trading are garbage or just on par with the original weapons. Only a select few are even worth having over the original weapons. Although I haven't played in awhile, so maybe that's changed... I doubt it though.

I'm actually pretty excited about this, I had a few friends who I had been nagging for months to buy TF2, but they're all too cheap. Maybe I'll start playing it again

My strange shotgun. It has 350 kills on it. I feel accomplished, though I must get 8500 for it to be complete.

Having it free wont fix the fact that i still have a crappy computer that cant play it!

a minor tip if you haven't got an other steam game, i have portal 2 for ps3. I logged into steam there and that counts for me as a game. So get portal2 for PS3

Thanks for this useful bump... I mean info.

post-count*

My strange shotgun now has almost 900 kills on it. Just thought I'd update everypony on that.

THREAD NECROMANCY

also, i played TF2 4 a while... then i stopped b4 i got addicted.

I finally got it.. If anyone still plays this that is ---> Darklight67
