TF2 is hilarious at the moment, though not at all balanced. I've been playing as sniper and they're incredibly effective against pyros. I've finally started seeing spies return to servers as well. There are also plenty of servers out there that put limits on classes and there it plays like a regular game. I really don't understand why Valve releases achievement updates and then opens up the game to new users - they're getting a completely inaccurate impression of the game and it's actually a NEGATIVE one.
Had the same exact thought myself...
"We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far."
"Universal compassion is the only guarantee of morality."
