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 amount of it and the percent of damage absorbed depends on the class. See the 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 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. Classes 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 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, use the Medic's healing weapon, the 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 infect enemies with a virus if it is used on one. The Medic can concjump. Can be very effective on offense, 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 after launch, traveling in an arc. 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 disguise changes 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.
