Ya know, I actually agree with you somewhat.

If its any consolation, I already had BAMF down voted way before this. For what you ask? I don't remember now, but I have my reasons...I think.

In response to all those fearing an FPS/RPG merge into this game, can you provide any evidence, inside or outside the game, that a change to this is an awful idea, that will destroy all the fun in he game, and make you never want to play it ever again?

i don't like fpsrpgs i don't like fpsrpgs i don't like fpsrpgs. a lot of people don't. so i don't want tf2 to become an fpsrpg because I don't like them

This doesn't show a bit a reason, just an opinion. A very loud one.

Well, this is about our opinions, isn't it? What I'm saying is that I didn't enjoy Borderlands and the like, so I don't really want TF2 to go down that road because I still feel it's a damn good game, even if this update has made me lose some respect for valve (fucking crates), but if it became even more of an rpg, I won't play it all that much. So, to me, I wouldn't find the game fun, which would make me not want to play it, because the game is really made to be fun, not to have deep story lines. So, maybe not to everyone, but to me, I wouldn't like that much. Hopefully you can kind of understand what I'm trying to say here, because let's be honest, I sounded like a goddamn dumbass when I just repeated I don't like fpsrpgs.

This is the only point I wish to expand upon. What I was saying before was an opinion without a reason is just an ignorant statement. You provided an example, Borderlands. I'll agree with you in that Borderlands was not that much fun. Boring, repetitive, and not much to strive for in the long run. But I imagine a TF2 with RPG-esque elements, not a full blown RPG like borderlands. Basically, the RPG elements would act as a reason to keep playing the game. In the orginal statement, I didn't mean RPG as in a a story-incorporated mes pool of ideas centralized around RPG core elements with guns on the ends of sticks. Try to imagine it like this.

You have your stock rocket launcher, that you use a lot. Now the more you used it, not only the better it got, but you would be able to fine tune the rocket launcher to do what you want. Like make it go slower in favor of more splash damage, or do less damage against buildings in favor of making it do less rocket jump damage to yourself. Though getting kills, you can earn these modifications to specialize your gun.

I personally, think it would add a whole new fun element to the game, and if valve perfected it, they'd never have to create a new weapon ever again.
so basically you want to keep the skill tree abilities aspect of borderlands without all the crap that comes along with the story lines. it sounds like an interesting concept however i believe that valve won't go down this path, because i think valve is lazy and programming all that crap would get tedious.

i know my opinion is crap i do not need crap about it.

that is my 2 cents being thrown into the argument.
Think of me what you will, I don't give a crap what you think about me. Nor will i change to please you.

You are just too cool, you know that? Thanks for teaching me internet rules, then reminding me I don't give a shit! I mean you've proven you think you have a better taste in music then everyone, that you're infinitely smarter then everyone, and that you are just oh soo funny, but now you've shown you're better at the internet then everyone else! When will you stop being amazing?
Don't forget, he's shown that he's a better troll than everyone else here.

Awesome job, Riftoff, I actually laughed at this one. 8-) :pipe: :respek: 8-) :coffee:

While he is, he should have whoever was singing him the 150 crate song on cp_desperados the other day...except he should sing it through the entire 200 openings of the crates.
