TF2 is overrated, but it's not like there's any other good options out there. TF2 is to the FPS as FF10 is to the RPG if the only other RPG that existed was Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World.
Yeah no. I know you have this unnatural and unfounded hate for TF2, but the game is incredibly solid in both design, balance, and execution, with tons of amazing free content and a massively involved community. It is one of the best, most polished FPS games in history, and the only reason it doesn't look like it will be particularly influential is that it doesn't do a whole lot new.
