Well yeah, it's an old game. It is by definition outdated (even has "classic" in the title).
> That said, how can that old game be more fun that TF2?
I'm guessing you're a pretty young guy. How fun a game is does not depend on when it was released. I used to love playing TFC. TF2 is a lame cartoon game to me. It's a bunch of Reddit memes to me. It's 15 year old kids yelling over microphones to me.
No, I'm 40-ish. I grew up with VIC-20 and C64 being state of the art in home computing. I both played games and programmed stuff. I still do but on computers a zillion times faster.
I never liked games that try to be realistic, what's the point, trying to make me sleep bad because of gory headshots with blood everywhere?
So I prefer the semi-cartoonish style and hats. Several times every evening I laugh out loud because of the silliness in TF2. Give it a try. It's not easy because it's not realistic, but you can always go medic and follow better players till you know the maps.
Ahh I just assumed. I hear that from my younger brother a lot. He can't play any old games because "there's not enough twitch factor" and the "graphics suck." I've played it a few times, just wasn't for me.
Right on. I'm a die-hard Left4Dead2 addict. I play almost nothing else anymore. Even then, I only play a little bit on the weekends. Not enough time anymore to really enjoy a game. It has to be something I can dip in and out of in bursts.
If you haven't played for more than a few minutes, you really should try TF2. Besides being free- The cartoonish style will cease to matter completely in an hour or two, the children can be muted in 2 clicks, and there aren't any memes. (though some hats are a little silly, some weapon names are punny, and some taunts are also puns. Example: "Your Eternal Reward", a Spy knife. Example: "I will kill you with bear hands!", Heavy, equipped with Warrior's Spirit http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Warriors_Spirit)
Oh, also, don't play 2Fort, and turn off sprays. Options -> Multiplayer -> Do not download any custom files.
It takes a little while to get competent, but it really is a pretty good game, and twitch-reflexes are not important for anybody but scout and perhaps sniper.

TFC forever. ;)
