RPS can confirm that friendly fire will indeed be removed from Team Fortress 2 in the update rolling out in a couple of hours.
Lead developer Robin Walker told us that he did indeed email German forum Gamestar to say that the mode was never meant to be left in.
"We shipped it by mistake, as it wasn't something we wanted to be a part of the game. We haven't built the game around having it in, and it just stops it from working," explains Walker. Breaking both the Spy and the Pyro, the TF2 team decided that friendly fire prevented the game from being any fun to play, and it will soon be gone completely.
After Valve released the Team Fortress 2 source code, developers and modders are reviving TF2 VR, making it bigger and better than ever.
Seems dumb, multiplayer fast paced VR... Sounds like a recipe for disaster.
Source 2 versions of the games they had, remakes or sequels to their games should've come out like a decade ago, now they'd need a heavily upgraded Source 2 or just Source 3 to be up to par with current engines tbh..
Valve: "Mod makers, rejoice! We've just released a massive update to the Source SDK, adding all the Team Fortress 2 client and server game code. This update will allow content creators to build completely new games based on TF2. We're also doing a big update to all our multiplayer back-catalogue Source engine titles (TF2, DoD:S, HL2:DM, CS:S, and HLDM:S), adding 64-bit binary support, a scalable HUD/UI, prediction fixes, and a lot of other improvements!"
Behind the aimbots that have plagued Team Fortress 2, a far more sinister story of harassment has unfolded - and it's only getting worse.
Good, cause i hate friendly fire in warhawk, it just does my head in, so yeh it will be more fun without it.
It all depends on the environment with FF. It sucks when you play multiplayer and some punk on your team keeps killing you or your team mates on purpose. On the other hand people shooting crazy with no consequences also hurts the game play. For this game it looks like FF will be a good thing. Don't know until I buy it.
I will you still be able to play Multiplayer matches and maps for HL2 (like on the PC) ??
I love the TF stuff, but multiplayer in the actual Half Life 2 games with maps and HL2 weapons is also fantastic ??
Anyone know ??
