Forums - Sony - Did EA pull the plug on Team Fortress 2 Online for PS3?

Netyaroze on 13 March 2010

Hmm.

I can confirm when I played last time the game (some days ago) it also couldnt connect.

I know right before the BBC2 release date i played it and it was perfectly fine.

I think that EA is having trouble with their server so they probably used all their capacitys for battlefield.

I honestly dont think that they just shut down the server more then enough people played that game. So I go to bed now its 6 a.m here I will test      that game later and i hope it works. Now I am a little worried.

No I'm fairly sure it's bad controls and not "i am not used to it." It's slow aiming and very limiting in what you can do with the small number of buttons on a controller. Otherwise FPS games wouldn't come with auto-aim, as it stands they all do meanwhile not a single FPS on the PC has auto-aim. Just something to think about.

Wow, thats quite the opinion you have there.  I agree with you that FPS are harder on a console because of generally slower movements and I absolutely despise auto aim (its the sole reason I didn't buy MW2), but I feel that if everyone is using the same control scheme it balances out.  Like a universal handicap.  Also Killzone 2 does not have auto aim. 

OT: are you able to play other games online?  It could be your router settings, I've had problems connecting to EA servers because of my router before.  If you are able to play other games online, it seems possible that they are down.

yeah i can connect normally to any game, it might be problem with EAs side.

Halo 3 and MW2 are regarded as very noob friendly , i didn't enjoy MW2 because its so easy too get a kill , heck you just select a sniper and your automatically a god.

not all games have Auto-Aim. Team fortress doesn't have autoaim nor does MAG , Killzone , Resistance and i forgot what else i have, but bottom line only little games have auto-aim the ones that sell the most.

What?

only games i can think of that has auto aim are MW2 and Battlefield bad company (if i remember this actually).

plus its still my own choice to play what i wan't to play.

From what I have seen, every single FPS on consoles has auto-aim. Even Halo 3 though, to be fair, it probably has the smallest amount of magnetism and auto-aim out of the console games.

If you did not want the truth then you shouldn't have asked for it.

 

When are you going to post some truth?   No FPS on consoles has auto-aim.

It'd be nice to have something to support your claim with. If you want me to start listing FPS with auto-aim it might fill up a page, so let's start the ones that don't.

Ones that don't: All of them. You can't even tell the difference between auto-aim and aim-assist. Most games disbale the latter in multiplayer or have the option to turn it off at least.

I think you are confused on what auto-aim is. I am not talking the hacking here, though that also exists. I also think you are confusing aim-assist and magnetism.

Wow--I love how about 90% of this topic is about bashing his platform choice rather than answering his question.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

They shouldn't have. They would have made an announcement, and it probably would have been big news. Their hamster probably just had a heart attack.

However I do echo everyone else's question. Why would you play it on a console

 i asked a question and all i got is a question. =s

Lol well i do not care about graphics what so ever, and Team fortress looks the same on anything because its not really graphic heavy.

You are still left with bad controls and zero updates.

its MY own choice. and i don't believe in "bad controls" its rather "i am not used to it"
