As for the cheater problem, I imagine if you are found cheating they will reset your account somehow, losing your micro purchases.
usually if you cheat on any VAC server, your whole steam account is banned from every VAC server.

that means every MP game you own is just as worthless as a pirated version.

it's kinda cool.

@deathking
what is your suggestion, finding the cheater's adress and killing him IRL?

unless valve finds a way to ban the MAC adress of the user's modem/router, that's just like every other online game ever

No my suggestion is make it so servers can differentiate the players
i.e played less then 10 hrs and a non premium account means you cant play on such and such server
but i know im going to have fun n00b hunting

This gives them more profit than the sale of the game would ever do.
It also allows Valve to expand the incredible lifetime of the game even further.

I don't see how making Team Fortress 2 F2P is unfair. Those who really wanted to play the game would've bought it, and you weren't complaining until they make it free? That doesn't make any sense. You've still got your game, and essentially you got it earlier than everyone else currently downloading on Steam.
Because fuckloads of people are downloading it and playing it at the same time causing unplayable speeds, inability to trade, broken loadouts and other assorted awful shit. Not to mention people that are new to PC fps games shambling around like an idiot taking up server slots.

I use to play this quite a bit before they brought in the 'Crafting' & the 'Store' (where you pay real money for imaginary stuff) - that REALLY put me off...(also due to work/shifts etc) I don't play as often now.

I also got p***ed off seeing the other players with hats/hair/weapons etc while I was stuck on the 'old stuff' - meaning that they either played non-stop for multiple hours in the day to get the 'random items' or they 'paid' real money for those things

I also brought this all those years ago so....

.....So IF they ARE making this totally free - I would suggest that those of us that brought the game should get some 'credit' (equal to what we paid for the game) for store items within the game

e.g.
If you brought the game 'online' (IIRC) £19.99 - you get £19.99 store credit
If you brought the boxed version - (IIRC) £29.99 - you get £29.99 store credit

ITT: People love to complain about stuff. Don't care what it is, they'll even pipe up to say "I don't care, I'm not going to play it anyway"

Classic Forum Crap.

Well, at least there's a difference between premium accounts and regular.

I'm definitely not disappointed as now we can have TF2 nights on GBAtemp considering everyone has the game. Bought the game or $20 (Orange Box) and it was worth it despite it being free, now.
