For those of you who don't know, Fortress Forever is a free HL2 mod started when TF2 wasn't even announced. They are focusing on the skill aspect of Team fortress, with concjumping, rocketjumping, bunnyhopping, primed grenades, ramp sliding and double jumping. This video shows off all these skills. Keep in mind that the animations are still being worked on

    Looks good, generally ignoring updates though since I know it's going to be forever until it comes out and getting excited now just doesn't help <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

    a lot of people were saying that, so just to dispell it:

    anything in the video except for ramp sliding, doublejumping and the pyro air boost, you can do in tfc. a lot of the things here are very difficult to do, for example the first person view scene was done by rizzo, one of the best tfc offencive players there is

    I was never a huge TFC player so I'm probably not the main demographic for this mod but it looks pretty nice regardless.

    I loved TFC but it seems there to much air control or conc nades are a little to strong.

    Is TFC really as awesome as people say? Seems like Quake for Valve fans, as far as movement, competition level, and player skill.

    That looks awesome. I used to play TFC religiously (Until I got into NS <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />), and I hope Fortress Forever is a good enough mod that will allow me to quit playing this dying game.

    Am I the only one thinking, that the SG turnrate seems a little bit low compared to tfc?

    @MrMojo

    What do you mean by pyro arboost? Does the flamethrower push the pyro? I just cat make it out from the vid.

    More like Team Quake. Classic. Fortress.

    And was that a high skill competitive game? Is TFC? Is a large part of the community in that mindset?

  • TychoCelchuuuTychoCelchuuu Anememone Join Date: 2002-03-23 Member: 345Members
    Yeah a huge part of TFC is the high skill competetiveness. Conc jumping and stuff is something that people pride themselves on being really good at. That's why FF has gone through all the trouble to recreate this.

    Might keep my eye on this, then.

    Fortress Forever is more of an evolution of TF than a straight port, though

    There's a lot of added things, like

    - faster rockets
    - tougher pyro (with 3 stages of flame damage, flame boost, speed)
    - sniper "wallhack" thing (like dystopias tracker but for 10 seconds when you shoot someone)
    - smaller grenade radius and damage
    - Quake like jumping (when you hold jump in the air, you jump as soon as you land, no need for scripts)
    - lots of documentation on all these skills so people will learn them quicker

    they also made a lot fo the skills easier to learn, and still as hard to master, with the quake like jumping, and with concs being a lot less dependent on your ping, having a larger window for jumping, and a visual timer

    How do people BHop like that? It messes up my rhythm massively.

    you can still bhop like you normally would, it just means you don't need a script to do it

    oh also there's no more "brick wall" (cap), and it's a soft cap instead, which means after a rocketjump or a conc your next few hops will be way faster before it goes down to the cap

    Only thing that i didnt like that i saw in the video is how easy it is to jump past a sentry gun, TFC had some of the meanest sentry guns that I could think of other than gloom <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

    I think that was one of those things they did a lot of tries on, just to show movement. They're basically using the same values as TFC for all of this stuff

    oh and I know a lot of people complained about the 180 concjumping (in the beginning), so here it is on TFC, just showing that its pretty easy to do <a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5742297161357942650&q=tfc+180" target="_blank">http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=57...0&q=tfc+180</a>
