Hi all!
Maybe you have seen our stream pop up on the right every now and then, maybe you haven't. Regardless, we're here and we like playing the predecessor to your favourite game!
Starting soon is season 8 of the ozfortress TFC league since the recent revival about two years ago. We have had a variety of players come and go, but most of us are here to stick here for the long run to continue playing the game that we enjoy.
This league is different to most leagues. Since we are such a small community, teams are not necessarily "choose what players you like"; each player is given a rating (out of 20 if I am wrong). Ratings are averaged across teams of 4 players and we kind of go from there to focus on having a good time, instead of making a team of the four best players. Everyone gets a shot!
Here's the vod of our most recent finals - season 7.

Sure it's a 16 year old game, but it's a lot of fun to play and hopefully you guys will be interested by it and watch some time. It is very fast paced so it will probably look very confusing at first, but maybe you'll watch a few games after being interested and get into it a little bit!

Just a sneaky little update - we're planning on having an ozfortress TFC allstars show match this weekend! It's looking to be Sunday @ 20:30 GMT+10
It will be streamed and casted, so if you wanted a good look at some high level TFC this will be your opportunity to do so! I'll keep this thread updated

Why TFC over fortress forever? If you don't mind answering
Why TFC over fortress forever? If you don't mind answering
A lot of people aren't willing to move to it because the challenge from a lot of things in TFC is either lessened or completely removed in FF. I personally wouldn't mind giving it a shot, but a lot of the top players say they cbf with FF.
A few examples:
You can hold space to bunnyhop in FF
Sliding up ramps requires you to press duck at the right time in TFC - in FF you can do it without pressing anything
When you are hit by a concussion grenade, it screws up your screen and your aim is not determined by your crosshair - in Fortress Forever, each time you shoot while conced, your true aim shows up on the screen
That's just some of the stuff that becomes p much trivialised in FF. As I said, myself and a few others of the AU TFC community wouldn't mind giving it a go, but the problem being that it would divide the community to the point of a decent amount quitting playing.
bloody stubborn lot
