he's prolly pulling out the ol "FPS sff" that is archaic.


At least it IS archaic. I wish the XBox hierarchy theory was archaic.

And make up your mind which way you want to go, Chief.

I spoke some last night about how MC/Halo doesn't get any respect here as far as SFF and such goes, and considering both Halo and TF2 are heavy on FPS multi-player, there's room to say there's overlap. This doesn't relate to the idea of the Xbox-hierarchy, but it still fits in with what I'm saying about people not giving Halo any kind of special break because it was the king of FPSs. Halo doesn't get any special respect in any regard is the point I was trying to make.

Halo is an Xbox character. Spy is a PC character. TF2 and Halo are completely different games. No reason for any SFF to take place here.

The lead designer of TF2 said that his favorite class was the Spy, so if they're not linking for him doubt they'd do it for any of the other characters.

If you count the 360 and PS3, I'm sure both MW games have easily outsold any Halo game.

Yeah. As said, people who play one simply don't play the other. Console FPSes and PC FPSes have like no overlap, especially these two.

Go back and read the Starcraft/Halo analysis from 2k4. Oppose that fanbase to TF2's style. D'you think two radically different games would have similar fanbases?

360 FPSers =/= PC FPSers. Remember the outcry when PC gamers found out MW2 for PC would be identical to MW2 for 360 and PS3 rather than getting the features they were used to?

Two completely different fanbases. The overlap between the two isn't going to be very large (though I'm one of those who enjoys playing both Halo multiplayer and TF2).

Valve linking?

WCC > Link CONFIRMED


WCC is going to need Steam rallies to beat Luigi. I doubt it would work for Link, even though that is a night match and thus Link's worst time.

Where were you guys when I asked if MC would SFF HK-47, WCC, or GlaDOS then? Or if Halo would SFF Morrowind? I'm fine with there being no SFF -- that's what I'm arguing, in fact -- and I get they're very different games for being FPSs (I agree Halo/MW should have more in common). It feels like denial to say Halo and TF2 don't have overlap though.

Halo and TF2 have minimal overlap, but what doesn't? If there's SFF it's like...1% or something.

Every game overlaps with virtually every game, obviously, even if it's just one person. No game is an island. It has to be a special occasion where it's weighted overlap in favor of one game though.

Why in the world would MC SFF WCC or Glados...?

Anyway, I suppose you could've argued the console hierarchy SFF notion before we had ample evidence to the contrary, but that hasn't been the case for a while.

Or if Halo would SFF Morrowind?

This was more logical. I would've guess this was "somewhat possible" back in the day, although uncertain because they're very, very different genres.

It feels like denial to say Halo and TF2 don't have overlap though.

I assure you it is not. They have like nothing to do with each other.

What kind of overlap would Halo and TF2 have? They don't even cater to the same kind of FPS gamer! They don't even share a fanbase! Or do you think people actually play Halo 1/2 on PC or TF2 on 360?

Hayabusa has a strong early vote, Crash has a good night vote and a better morning vote. Hayabusa improves once we get to the beginning of when the DSV would normally start though.

Cloud SFFing Luca just wouldn't happen, mostly because the only people who have played Suikoden II are fanatical about the series and would vote for him over just about anyone. That said, the amount of people who haven't played S2 is so gigantic it wouldn't matter. SFF probably still exists though. I would vote for Luca in several instances, but in that match I would indeed vote for Cloud and it would indeed be SFF. Obviously I would be a minority though.

Chief is just crap. I mean he'd perform this way on just about anyone, Luca Blight included.

Just plug in a 360 controller to your computer. PC version has a ****load of awesome updates that add lots of variety to gameplay, and they're all free!

Between the amazing work they put in for free for TF2, the innovation of Portal, and how they've changed the future of game distribution with Steam, Valve is easily the best company this gen.
