==question==
Why does it say your best bet is 1.0 to 2.0? If people are coming here to get the actual mod, put your best bet is the 2.0 FULL installer
*Read the rest of the sentence. "'''''If you already have Fortress Forever''' and you are unsure which of the updates you need then your best bet is to download the 1.0 to 2.0 update.''" --[[User:Squeek-10494|Squeek-10494]] 22:43, 10 April 2008 (CDT)

I've composed the following for inclusion on the Downloads page. It'll make for quicker recognition of the methods of downloading that are available. It'll probably go best under the introduction text and before the Table of Contents like so (it is probably better, if this is implemented, to also remove the ToC):

Another thing, Crosus is pretty much dead. it hasnt been updated from 1.11 yet, and i doubt it will. i recommend you remove it from the article. [[User:Greenday5494|Greenday5494]] 16:46, 30 April 2008 (CDT)

You can either have Fortress Forever installed automatically by CrosuS (a program a bit like Steam that has lots of free games on it) or you use the traditional method of downloading a Fortress Forever installer. There are instructions for both methods below.

In order for this page to get a 4 star rating, I believe it needs the following added to it:
*Strategic positions listed.
*Pictures accompanying these strategic positions.
*Proofread for grammar and spelling issues.
-[[User:AgentBuckshotMoose-5554|AgentBuckshotMoose-5554]] 09:15, 22 January 2008 (CST)
: Yep, I figured that would be the case. As you probably saw, I've left a place for the strategic locations/screenshots in the article and hope to get chance to do them tommorow sometime. As for the proofreading though, keep in mind I'm using UK English, especially when it comes to spelling :D

Heavy Weapons Guy
| classintro =

Although he looks slow and stupid, the Heavy Weapons Guy (abbreviated HW Guy) is an expert in the use of... heavy weapons. He carries a huge machine gun (likely taken from a military helicopter) known as the [[Weapon:Assault_Cannon|assault cannon]]. It has a 300 round clip and slices through enemies like butter. While the recoil of firing such a weapon would probably kill lesser classes, the HW Guy is able to withstand it easily. However, the recoil is still rather powerful and firing the assault cannon does cause the HW Guy to slow down considerably. The gun is most effective at close to medium range, and quickly loses accuracy at long range. Due to the combined weight of his weaponry, armor, and himself, the HW Guy moves slowly and is thus an ideal defensive class.

Since he likely carries well over 200 pounds of gear (and is slightly overweight himself), the HW Guy is hard to push around with explosions. This makes the HW Guy effective at defending choke points. Since he can't easily be knocked out of them, the enemy has usually no choice but to either die to assault cannon fire or retreat. If you want to be an impenetrable (and deadly) wall, the HW Guy is the class for you.

|description=
The Assault Cannon is a huge close- to medium-range mini-gun that uses shotgun shells. It takes awhile to spin up and overheats quickly, but once it gets going it is a literal stream of death. When firing the assault cannon, be careful of the overheat meter. Your goal should be to get as close to overheating as possible, but not going over the maximum. This will maximize damage output. Do this by getting up near the threshold and then repeatedly tapping the mouse button to "ride the wave," so to speak.

The HWGuy's Assault Cannon now heats up as it's fired. Players can keep it from overheating by tapping the fire button, causing it to hover in place as the heat rises and falls. This allows a high rate of fire without risking overheating.

*<p>'''Barrier'''<br/>The HWGuy is very heavy! As a result, he is pushed around less by explosive forces and so is harder to get past.</p>
| strategyandtips =
Remember that the AC is -NOT- meant for long range, but at short range it will shred your opponent. HW's are wonderful on defense, be sure to check for spies, simply unload on them for 1 second with your AC and they'll drop dead. USE YOUR MIRVS! Mirvs are wonderful for stopping an offense, they can easily take out multiple enemies if they're not being careful. If you know an enemy is coming down a hallway, pre-fire on it to remove the weakness of the AC's startup time.
On Offense, you are a monster. Use your mirvs to take out a sentry, you can usually get the dispenser, sentry, and engineer with just one mirv, so use them well! Demomen will be a problem, just try to stay away from their pipes, and I highly suggest using your Super Shotgun instead of your AC on them, so that you're a more difficult target for them. Snipers will only be a problem if they know you're coming and they're charged, in this case, I suggest using your frags and super shotgun, first throw the frag in their face right as it explodes, and finish them quickly with your shotgun. Pyros are very annoying, be very sure that they don't get level 3 flame on you, or you WILL die. Try your hardest to stay away from their grenades and IC, the flamethrower will be very difficult if not impossible to avoid. Oh, and remeber, since you lots of equipment, EMPs from engineers are pretty deady, denotating lots of your ammo, armor, and mabye even some fat cells!

TF2 Player's Guide to FF

2008-01-07T03:37:35Z

{{Infobox manual/Header}}
==General==

* There are grenades usable for every class. There are two: a [[Grenade:Frag|frag grenade]] for every class (except the Scout) and a “special” one that has a unique trait ([[Grenade:Nail|like shooting nails]] or [[Grenade:EMP|blowing up an enemy’s ammunition]].).

* Respawn is instantaneous.

* Realistic art style compared to TF2’s cartoony style.

* Each class has armor, and the amount of it and the percent of damage absorbed depends on the class. See the [[Reference:Class|Class reference]] for details.

* No taunt button.

* If a player dies, a backpack is left behind that contains all the ammo he had when he died.

* Resupply rooms consist of backpacks containing supplies, instead of supply lockers. In addition, these backpacks must respawn. What’s in the backpacks is determined by the map maker.

* Ammo boxes are replaced with backpacks.

* You can discard unused ammo for others to use.

* There are four teams; Red, Blue, Green and Yellow. However, most maps use only Red and Blue.

* Much less emphasis on Capture Point maps than in TF2.

==Weapons==

* There are two types of shotguns: [[Weapon:Single_Shotgun|Single]] and [[Weapon:Super_Shotgun|Super]].

* The [[Weapon:Grenade_Launcher|Grenade]] and [[Weapon:Pipe Launcher|Pipe Launcher]] share a magazine.

* The [[Weapon:Assault_Cannon|Minigun]] can overheat if fired for too long.

* Grenades fired from the Pipe Launcher do not stick onto walls.

* Only the Medic, Spy and Engineer have their own melee weapons. Everybody else has a [[Weapon:Crowbar|Crowbar]].

==Classes==

'''[[Class:Scout|Scout]]'''

* The FF Scout is only really useful for capping, while the TF2 Scout can be used as a speedy attacker that can take out slow classes with ease.

* A Scout can remove a Spy’s disguise or disable a [[Weapon:Detpack|Detpack]] if he touches them.

* The Scout can [[Concjumping|concjump]].

* The Scout has a special grenade, called the [[Grenade:Caltrop|Caltrop]], that can slow down an enemy if he touches it.

'''[[Class:Sniper|Sniper]]'''

* The [[Weapon:Sniper_Rifle|Sniper Rifle]] must be charged up by holding down the fire button.

* He has an [[Weapon:Auto_Rifle|automatic rifle]] that uses the same ammunition as the Sniper Rifle.

'''[[Class:Soldier|Soldier]]'''

* Reloading the [[Weapon:RPG|RPG]] is slightly slower.

'''[[Class:Demoman|Demoman]]'''

* Has a special weapon called a [[Weapon:Detpack|Detpack]] that can be set to explode after a certain amount of time and is the most powerful weapon in the game.

'''[[Class:Medic|Medic]]'''

* To heal, use the Medic's healing weapon, the [[Weapon:Medikit|Medikit]]. It must be used on an ally at point-blank range. However, it will heal the target to 100% of his health instantly.

* If you use the Medikit on a person with 100% of his health, it will add 5 points of health for each use, up to a maximum of 150% of his default maximum health.

* The Medikit can [[:Category:Status_Effects#Infected|infect enemies with a virus]] if it is used on one.

* The Medic can [[Concjumping|concjump]].

* Can be very effective on offense, thanks to [[Concjumping|concjumping]], his speed and the Super Shotgun.

* The Medic cannot make anyone invincible.

'''[[Class:HWGuy|HWGuy]]'''

* His Minigun is not named Sasha.

'''[[Class:Pyro|Pyro]]'''

* Has a rocket launcher called the [[IC|Incendiary Cannon]] that can light enemies on fire. However, the rocket begins to fall to the ground after launch, traveling in an arc.

* There are multiple stages of an enemy being on fire. See the [[:Category:Status_Effects#On_Fire|On Fire]] article for more details.

'''[[Class:Spy|Spy]]'''

* Has a [[Weapon:Tranquilizer Gun|tranquilizer gun]] instead of a revolver.

* The backstab animation isn’t nearly as drawn-out as the one in TF2.

* If a Spy makes a successful backstab, [[Class_Ability:ID_Theft|his disguise changes to the person he just killed]].

* The Spy [[Class_Ability:Stealth|makes no noise when walking]].

* The weapon the Spy has equipped is reflected on his disguise (to an extent). Ex.: If a spy is disguised as an Engineer and equipped with the Knife, to others, he will be holding the Wrench.

* If the Spy is disguised, he will look like his disguise, including to his teammates.

* If the Spy falls down, he will make no noise and takes 50% damage from the fall.

* Sabotaging a dispenser/sentry will not make it’s health lower.

* The Spy’s special abilities are done via a menu accessed by hitting the Fire 2 (default: Mouse 2) key.

* If a Spy runs into another Spy, both of their disguises will disappear.

* Cloaking will not run out once activated, but has a cooldown time before cloaking again.

* Enemy Sentry Guns will fire at a cloaked spy regardless of disguise.

* Sabotaging a buildable is a bit different. When you sabatoge a building, you need to first "Activate" it. For a dispenser, it simply blows up. For a Sentry Gun (SG), it makes a distinct sound, and starts firing at whatever the team the engineer that built the SG is on. It also stops firing at your own team, and after a little while, it blows up.

'''[[Class:Engineer|Engineer]]'''

* Metal is collected from backpacks.

* An Engineer can repair a teammate’s armor by hitting the ally with the wrench.

* There is neither HUD nor verbal (“SPY SAPPING MY SENTRY/DISPENSER!”) indication that a Spy has tampered with your buildables.

* You cannot make teleporters.

* It takes 130 Metal to upgrade a sentry instead of 200.

* It also upgrades instantly, instead of having to keep hitting it with your Wrench.

* When an engineer discards ammo, he will throw out ammo of every type, even if he doesn’t currently have a certain type.

* The Pistol is replaced with the [[Weapon:Railgun|Railgun]].

* The Sentry Gun uses shells from the Engineer as ammo. Also the sentry can be aimed in any direction once built by hitting Fire 2 (default: Mouse 2).

* The Engineer builds things like in TF2, but to destroy or move around something built you must access a menu via hitting Fire 2 (default: Mouse 2).

* The dispenser gives armor and ammo, but not health.

'''[[Class:Civilian|Civilian]]'''

* Usable.

* Nearly defenseless. Must rely on others to kill enemies. A future update will include the [[Weapon:Tommy_Gun|Tommy Gun]], a weapon that the Civilian can use to fight back to an extent.

* No grenades.
