TF2 Player's Guide to FF

General

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

• Respawn is instantaneous.

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

• Each class has armor, and the % of it depends on the class.

• No taunt button.

• If a person dies, his corpse will throw out a backpack containing 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 replaces with backpacks.

• You can discard unused ammo for others to use.

• There are four teams; Red, Blue, Green and Gold. 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: Single and Super.

• The Grenade and Pipe Launcher share a magazine.

• The 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 Crowbar.

Scout

• The FF Scout can only be used 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 Detpack if he touches them.

• The Scout can concjump.

• The Scout has a special grenade, called the Caltrop, that can slow down an enemy if he touches it.

Sniper

• The Sniper Rifle must be charged up by holding down the fire button.

• He has an automatic rifle that uses the same ammunition as the Sniper Rifle.

Soldier

• Reloading the RPG is slightly slower.

Demoman

• Has a special weapon called a Detpack that can be set to explode after a certain amount of time and is the most powerful weapon in the game.

Medic

• To heal, a Medic’s healing weapon, the Medikit, the medic must hit an ally with it 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, up to 150% of his health.

• The Medikit can infect enemies with a virus if it is used on one.

• The Medic can concjump.

• Can be used on offence, thanks to concjumping, his speed and the Super Shotgun.

• The Medic cannot make anyone invincible.

HWGuy

• His Minigun is not named Sasha.

Pyro

• Has a rocket launcher called the Incendiary Cannon that can light enemies on fire. However, the rocket begins to fall to the ground soon after it is fired.

• There are multiple stages of an enemy being on fire. See the On Fire article for more details.

Spy

• Has a 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, his looks change to the person he just killed.

• The Spy 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.

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.

• 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 Railgun.

• The Sentry Gun uses shells from the Engineer as ammo.

• 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).

Civilian

• Usable.

• Nearly defenseless. Must rely on others to kill enemies. A future update will include the Tommy Gun, a weapon that the Civilian can use to fight back to an extent.

• No grenades.
