Team Fortress 2 vs Day of Defeat Source

[Sin Assassin]

We all know Tf2 and DoD:S are great FPS games but what is the best i think Tf2 is better but DoD:S is like tf2 just not the same models.What do you guys think?

 

[Beta]

my opinion: they both are the same games, but different skinning/tactics.

I think TF2 was much more thought-out than DoD, mostly as far as weapons are concerned, seeing as all the characters in DoD have basically the same abilities.

TF2 seems more fun because battles are longer. Imagine TF2 with one hitpoint. Whenever anyone hits you, you die. Does not provide very interesting battles, and most people are dead most of the time. In DoD, you seem to die too quickly. One of the key points in TF2's design is that running around shooting bullets is the most boring game you can have. That's why a huge emphasis was placed on melee weapons, and "special" weapons like the Engy's turrets, the Medic's heal gun, the Pyro's flamethrower, and the Spy's backstabbing and sapping ability. Everything seems to be countered by something else, so certain classes are overpowered at certain points, and underpowered at others. And TF2 is just so... funny. The character's personalities are so distinct that, for example, the Spy, the dignified european says, "I appear to have burst into flames." Well, DoD seems bloody in a depressing way, TF2 seems bloody in a really funny way.

They are both FPS and thus it's easy to understand the drive to compare both of them. I think each carry their own strong points and appeal to a group of people. I think that TF2 provides more Depth in comparison to DOD:S. While I think that DOD:S provides a faster game than TF2 because of the ease at which one can die. A battle in DOD:S can have a complete turn around in a matter of seconds on some maps.

All in all it is difficult to draw comparisons between the two because of the difference of both design and strategy. I find it more interesting that the OP didn't try to bring CS:S into the discussion.

I don't think there is a good way to compare the two. They are both VERY different games, with VERY different styles, goals, characters, weapons, and play types. Both have good points and bad points, and any discussion of which is a "better" game is purely subjective and impossible to quantify.

Basically it will be a flame war. Please for the harmony of this community let this thread die.

I don't really know what to say here. Day of Defeat: Source was my first computer FPS game. I loved it to death when it first came out, but then started to loose interest (not because of the new update) in it.

Team Fortress 2 is just so different in my opinion. It has different classes that do different things. I could play TF2 all day, because I almost never get bored playing it. Ten years in the making and it is awesome, I think it was just more fun. Everyone was waiting for it, and everyone enjoys the game! If I get bored, I just switch classes.

Day of Defeat: Source looks more arcade style now, but I think valve wanted it that way. Will they release new weapons (i.e. grease gun) for achievements? I think the game has definitely changed. Not that the new update is bad, I will love the game FOREVER not matter what they do to the game. It's the game that got me hooked on clans, competitive play, and most importantly, teamwork.

Both are excellent games, it just a matter of preference on which you like better. I love TF2, probably moreso than any other game, but once in a while I'm just in the mood for some WW2 style action.
