They send BABIES to fight me!
SOLDIER IS-MEEEEEEEEDIC
TF2 is one of my highest as well, but only half as many hours as you! Lots of hats… cashed out all my unusuals for an Index.
Highest is probably Diablo II+D2R, played every day in my teens, from when I got home to when I slept. Then I started playing while botting. Has to be 3k+ hours. Never been so addicted to a video game.
Same, my most played game ever. I find it funny, at least to me, a game from 2007 thats barely supported by the dev is significantly better than the other modern derivatives of tf2 like overwatch and marvel bandwaggon money maker.
I'll tell you what it is. Freedom.
We can make servers, host servers, have our own communities and set our own rules. Hell, I haven't played a Valve server in five years.
Overwatch isn't a matter of better or worse. It fails to do, at base value, what I value TF2 for, freedom.
Add however many neat little gameplay mechanics you want, if I can't play the game the way I want to, I'm not going to get into it or care.
shrug
Overwatch was good when it released then they actively made it trash
I gave it a shot within the first year it came out, only ever played ~10 hours and just didn't find it that fun I suppose.
I've got close to 5000 hrs in tf2. By far my most played game ever
