DoD:S or TF2? Which should I get?
- Thread starter dimkapo
- Start date
Just to break it down for you some:
TF2 - Much more arcade-like in feel. Not to say there's no teamwork involved, but it's very fast-paced as far as FPS goes, akin to Unreal Tournament. Lots of explosions, limbs flying about, and hats. If you are looking for something different than CS:S, this is your choice, however, you will be thrown off by the tempo difference.
DOD:S - It's similar to CS:S in the fact that you really can't go in guns-a-blazing and expect to do much. It's much more tactical in feel than TF2. You'd fit in rather decently coming from CS:S if you go the DOD:S route.
I own both games, and personally I like TF2 better, mainly because I grew up playing alot of fast-paced FPS shooters like Quake, Unreal, and Doom back in the day.

get both! just wait untill they are on sale!
Tf2, i played DoDs, and it is pretty fun. But Tf2 is still receiving plenty of updates, theres so much more in that game then DoD, although its less balanced, its a lot more fun, and there are HATS!
Plus i'm in the division so thats a solid reason to get it right there

There are so many rhetorical questions and shameless promotion in C-Whit's post it's almost illegal in 48 states.
Neither.
Save your money. Invest in some high quality securities. Wait a decade or two. Buy a (IRL) speedboat, instead.
Hope this helps.

All I need to say is don't listen to people form that division. Of course they will say their game is better. Now C-WHIT makes a point. If you want to get to eGOs roots get DoD:S. I have both and I prefer TF2 over DoD:S. TF2 will keep you hooked longer than DoD:S. DoD:S is a more war based game and more of an action type game then TF2.
Now based on addiction, TF2 seems to be more popular in terms of addiction. Now if you think about it, there are more players from DoD:S that play the CS:S jail server than there are from TF2. Doesn't that say something? To me it could mean that DoD:S either isn't as fun, or doesn't keep you hooked the same way TF2 can. But jail is awesome anyway. I made it bold and had it underlined because it's a fact. ^^
It's really your choice, but ask people within the CS:S division or someone who (has both games) started in a division other than TF2/DoD:S and ISN'T currently in one. It will give you better insight on this.

DoD:s
TF2 reminds me of 13 year olds and 4chan.
In all seriousness, they are both popular because they are both good games. it depends on what YOU yourself want. the gaming style that you like. They're similar, but have the obvious differences. (Kind of like all source FPS shooters. all extremely similar).
Get a trial or demo or whatever. Ask a close friend that trusts you to let you try it out on their account. Or you could just buy both, they're dirt cheap.
I myself am not interested in most FPS games because I could care less about modern combat based, present day themed games. I'm a ww2 nerd so I always took interest in DoD, even 1.3.
