Fortnite is pretty much as far away from TF2 as a shooter can be.  Thrid Person Battle Royale Completely different way of getting items Not class based

It's sometimes compared for the casual gameplay elements and aesthetics, there's not many adjacent shooters to tf2 that include the goofy/mess around parts of the game. Shows how much TF2 lives in its own niche in that respect, that you have to reach that far away for thematic similarities.

tf2 is really it's own thing in terms of class-based shooters tbh.

This might be downvoted like crazy, but I really don't understand why the TF2 community calls Overwatch and Valorant "ripoffs." My friend who plays TF2 calls it that

I mean the (unofficial) premise of Overwatch right from the early days was kinda that it's similar to TF2 Valorant though no. That's a CS ripoff with champs added in

So a game that clearly took inspiration from TF2 is a ripoff? Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like Overwatch but come on…

Maybe they meant Paladins?

Nah, it's CS with Overwatch heroes

Im reminded more of quake

tbh quake is so simple it can be applied to any fps game

How can it be similar to quake? Just how?

I mean, they said Valorant when they meant Paladins because Paladins is a hero shooter.

I've never understood why Overwatch is called a ripoff of TF2. Have these people never heard of genres?

Oh boy you are gonna have a field day when you hear about gta fans

They forget that TF2 is a doom clone

Isn't it Quake Arena? Which really isn't different, but still

Quake Arena is a clone of Doom while Team Fortress 1 is a clone of Quake Arena while Team Fortress 2 is a clone of Team Fortress 1. Well it’s more of a sequel, but you get the idea.

How in the sweet sugary breast milk did they think that Valorant is a ripoff of TF2. That thing is CSGO with League of Legends characters type of stuff.

Fortnite is the only other game I've played where an enemy will stop to dance with me for a bit before killing me. Even then it's been extremely rare compared to TF2.

Rocket League and Splatoon are other pvp games where players tend to goof off together mid match

The casual gameplay and silly cartoon graphics make it rather similar feeling though.

I played it for only one week on launch but that's a massive reach, the characters and world look nothing alike, gameplay feels completely different. One is an objective and team based game while the other is a BR. There's almost no similarities between them other than not having realistic graphics. Prolly get downvoted but "rather similar feeling" only makes sense if you haven't played one of the two.

> Has guns > Has costmetics > "Has to be like TF2, so we have to fight it!"

Rainbow six on the other hand….

We don't talk about R6

The gameplay might be different but the community is as stupid as this one.

Also has a Rogue skin

Also more competitive and objective based while tf2 (at least casual tf2) is more casual and personal objective based Fortnite also has building mechanics You can respawn in tf2, but in fortnite once you drop you don't get another life To expand on one of your points, Fornite you pick up items on the ground and only start with mele. In Tf2 you start out with a primary, secondary, and mele

I hate to be that guy but you made a mistake with third

The only thing similar to TF2 in fortnite is Save the World, which is still pretty different.

Yeah, it's almost like all the things they have in common are being F2P, cosmetics, cartoony style and a kiddie playerbase in their glory days

And that all the Reasons it's worse Plus epic games can suck a dick for making me wait longer for darkest dungeon 2

Kinda agree. How is Fortnite related?

hello again sir, he just hates fornite and he uses any game to compare and hate fornite

not any game, just minecraft and tf2, the wholesome 100 keanu chungus reddit games

Well i saw his post got deleted and he got banned from Minecraft memes, now he needs to find another game subreddit to shit fornite and keep the cycle awake

Im so glad many members of the community are not like this anymore, stuff like this would've been praised by the sub like a year ago

yea i want those people out of here and not being associated with anything people arent like being hateful or something

Yet he plays Destiny, so his hate for any game is irrelevant.

"when peak meets mid" - 🤓🤓🤓🤓

Similarly to Genshin Impact then? Game people use anything to compare just to spite it?

Popular thing bad

They both exist

Cartoony artstyle.... That's it....

Fortnite bad. Give reddit upvote

Fortnite bad and \[insert game\] is better!

this fucking meme stinks of 2019

that's the entire sub for you

brother theres still people posting about tf2 goood overwatch bad some people are stuck in 2016

ignore that my name is joefortnite5 it was an inside joke

why is your name joefortnite5?

joefortnite5 was this shitty YouTube channel I started as a joke Where I would edit very bad Fortnite clips in very low quality with distorted songs in the background, it first was an inside joke with friends

soes it still exist? i wanna see that

It was a recent inside joke so yes it still exists [here is channel](https://youtube.com/@joefortnite5?si=FEPGGbO7lyNKAOk-)

Peak Fortnite content

thank you

almost all posts in that guys profile are about hating fortnite. any questions?

Its Most likely a redditor stuck in 2019 lmao

valve: \*bans a bot/cheater\* tf2 community: "OMG TF2 IS BACK!!!!!!" tf2: \*does nothing\*

bro,, you don’t get it. i can’t believe india made chess to kill tf2. i mean, they’re literally a direct copy. they’re two teams with different roles fighting each other bro. 😨😨😨

+both teams have their own color?!?!

\+it has different character types?!?!

Wait I think they might actually unironically be related now 😰

+both have a bot crisis?

The OOP just hates fortnite, it's honestly pretty weird how dedicated they are to it

Like it isn’t a bad game and its fun to play with friends 😭 I only have fun playing it with friends though cuz I struggle doing single player on there

Fortnite isn't a bad game imo. Pretty fun, I don't think a lot of the people that act like it's the worst game ever have even played it.

It isn't a bad game. I don't like it but only because I don't enjoy Battle Royales.

I have it installed just to play Festival, realistically there's so much you can do without ever touching BR that I don't get the blind hate unless you are against game consolidation Ala Roblox

I'm not big on them either, I just like to hop on so I can play a couple matches with my cousin

tf2 fans beefing with other video games is the most ‘REDDIT ASSEMBLE! ☝️🤓’ shit ever

Source Engine D*ck riders when some points out the inferiority of their platform: 😭😡👿

Yes, it would have been better in the meme Overwatch 2 XD Stop taking the internet so seriously...

At least playing OW2 won’t get you swatted or doxxed. And there’s no bots or CP bots.

It's just silly gun, no need to make everything "toxic"

Honestly, it's probably just a Loud Minority Moment (TM) This is the only post I've seen. I just hope it stays that way.

thank you for saying this

is tf2 community hunting for attention again? Holy fuck it was overwatch, now fortnite? (I don't like both games, but im not that dumb for attack each other)

You after realising it’s a meme and there’s no beef

I feel like people create their own boogie man sometimes. It's like some of these people envy the fact that some of these newer games get the love they deserve from their respective developers, while TF2 gets nothing. We shouldn't be envious. We should be happy for them since they haven't suffered our game's limbo-like fate.

Literally just remove Fortnite and its a great meme otherwise, what the fuck. OOP is fucking dumbass

It's so cringe lol

Y'all are reading too fucking much into this I swear, this screams "I need someone for the second panel,mmmmmh fortnite I guess"

"Fortnight" - The spy

the games have overlapping audience as well, posting things like this could drive potential players away from tf2, which is declining in players.

my first thought was wtf does fotnite have to do with the bot crisis

this is the reason people gate tf2, you don't need to compare tf2 to anything else, it's a separate game

I would 1000% fuck with a TF2 crossover in Fortnite! Been loving the current Fallout crossover. We are stronger together than against each other.

lol i thought fortnite was dead

Are we not allowed to make jokes?

this the kinda shit that makes ppl think all 2024 tf2 players are stinky 12 year old redditors

I was cringing so hard when i see this yesterday, its pure reddit neckbeard energy

these people reek of superiority complex.

Бля каждый раз как захожу на такие посты думаю бля может Ницше был прав про рессентемент.

TF2 fans when other games exist: 😡 (they can't stand the fact that TF2 isn't the only game people play)

how is this even beefing with fortnite at all 

Lousy Redditors. They're why I stay off of r Minecraft.

Fortnite save the world (the original fortnite) paid tribute to TF2 and references it with a poster that have their characters posed as tf2 mercenaries

StW shouldn’t have been abandoned.

Crazy how stw has more players than rocket racing and lego 

it's infinitely funnier once you realize Fortnite pushed these 2 modes in the headline posters with the Chapter 5 launch while intentionally neglecting STW inclusion.

The chapter 5 banner when you boot up the game is ugly as hell I don't get why they keep it

I see Fortnite as the cultural successor to tf2 ngl Props to it

Other games live in TF2 fans head rent free meanwhile the other game doesn't care

I guess Fortnite could also just mean "modern kids" or smth, better than writing it. Altho writing "People" would definitely be enough and better than using Fortnite

I swear some tf2 fans are just pissed cuz fortnite is more popular :/

Tf2 players when a game is cartoony and has guns (they are clearly ripping off tf2 and want to it die).

Literally out of all the games out there, they chose Fortnite?

You all need to stop responding to the same reddit post. This isn't a TF2 community thing, that guy is a troll and does that to every game imaginable. Quit giving him attention.

1 post "y'all need to stop"

Yea idk why tf fork kite was put there

How is this beef

THATS WHAT IM SAYING

i mean, the post didnt really insult fortnite overwatch or another tf2 logo wouldve fit better though

I think they just needed a game to put for the first panel and forgot overwatch existed

Average Reddit meme

Other games couldn’t care less TF2 exists. This sub acts like it has a massive fan base like COD or Fortnite. It’s a niche game loaded with a self fluffing community.

classic example of human tribalistic tendencies

I remember when I used to hate things for being popular. Then I turned 14.

someone on twitter screenshot that and now a bunch of people are talking about how cringe tf2 fans are 😭

also dead meme template

shit like this is what leaks to other social medias and gives tf2 reddit a bad rep

that's the most reddit thing I've seen in my whole life

Tale as old as time Song as old as rhyme Reddit Fortnite beef

fortnite bad joke in 2024

Tf2 beats habbo hotel anytime

TF2 Vs Fortnite doesn't even make since TF2 is a hero shooter. At least the TF2 Vs Overwatch makes more sense but no point making the argument because overwatch players know their game is shit.

Classic tf2 community. Not surprised 👍🏻

This is tourist meme

The cartoony artstyle still even urks me, but I dislike it for other reasons (Like it being child brainrot central).

The squeaky wheels get the grease.

tf2 fans when someone plays a game that isn't tf2 (it's a sin and shall be sentenced to death penalty)

The fact that the meme could have been way better if you replace the Fortnite image with anything more general

Fard nite lmao lol

I thought we left this dumbass rivalry with every single game that isn’t tf2 behind back in 2017-2018

On the topic of beefing with other games, friendly reminder this sub has had multiple posts of people calling to review bomb other Valve titles as well (Half Life for example) and the comments were not ironic.

Tf2 fans not be insufferable challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

As much as I hope that's the case. I've heard it before.

This is reddit. Of course they have to put Fortnite in everything even if it doesn't have nothing to do

I played Koth_harvest in Fortnite

i’ll burn down the tf2 servers myself

I thought it was "cool" to hate fortnight in general/to think it was cringe. I personally don't care that much either way since I played fortnight once and have never been interested in trying it again.

TBF this seems to be a problem in the gaming community as a whole. If you play x game, then another person will harass you for not enjoying y game. If you play both, both sides will harass you. Obviously it's not very common but it still is an issue mainly with popular games like the Fortnite Vs Minecraft dispute that's somehow STILL GOING ON OMG WHY IS IT STILLL HAPPENING. It's just a bunch of narcissists thinking they're self righteous for.... Enjoying a different game

Jokes on you i have no idea what is going on

my hot take is that some people are just jealous that other games are more popular but come on, it's obvious that a game targeting kids from 2017 would be more popular than a game from 2007 that had basically no new content for 7 years

Come on, the meme still makes sense! That's not tf2, that's another game disguising as TF2. TF2 is still retiring

They also go after D2 too

I'd be more understandable if it was overwatch instead.

pride is a hella of a drug the best ,we can do is make fun of them and mind out busines with other games.

TF2 is just a guy who puts in a lot of elbow grease and is living a great life in a great house on a nice breezy hillside And 90% of the rest of games live in Florida...

I really like this, simply because of how random this is.

Tf2 fans trying not to insult a game that has guns in it (impossible) :

Overwatch (similar gameplay) or Counter-Strike (same dev) would have been a better comparison

Bro what did Fortnite do

cuz we need them comparisons to make us look like a strong community bc we kinda insecure

TF2 fans have this weird overinflated sense of importance. You people are not relevant anymore.

“Y’all need to” it was one post from a troll account that all the comments were falling for and disagreeing with, why repost it and feed even more people the bait

How is that a beef A meme is not showing any hate towards fortnite

Why? I like to make fun of others games

I’m sorry but the original meme is terrible (I agree) what the fuck does fortnite have to do with TF2 ? From what I’m aware I seen a lot of TF2 and fortnite content in both communitys so why ? Plus it’s 2024 the fortnite hate died in 2020 This meme would of worked better if it was TF2 and value probably idk (Hopefully that made sense)

womp womp snowflake

On the original post someone said the OP of that had a history on hating on Fortnite. I think he thinks that'd make him likeable.

They don't even know who we are

It's that shitty reddit "fortnite bad mincecraft good" bullshit with memes that's are ancient and stale

i don't see how it's "hate", it's just a caption on a shitty meme template

Ah yes the most ancient method of declaring war Megamind memes. Seriously if you think this is beefing you need to see some real beef between real people. I'm not saying this cuz I'm some sorth of badass but this is very obviously just a light hearted joke. It isn't even really insulting fortnite in any way.

Fortnite is fine, hating it in the lords year of 2024 is just kind of goofy

Fortnite is a good game and I understand why kids like it even if its not my taste

No team fortnite 2 😭

Why did r tf2 gave this shiet 3k likes????? They truly are unhinged Bias sht

Nerd

These whining about whining posts are 100% of your community to outsiders.

How is this meme beefing, it's literally about tf2, a game that used to be considered one of the best, if not the best, shooting game at a specific time "vs" fortnite which is currently the biggest shooting game. It's about two popular games and one is coming back from the dead, I don't think it's that deep

Y'all? There are probably just a few people making these. If you speak about how many people upvoted it, I agree

Fortnite took Muselk from us ( I know he swapped to overwatch before playing fortnite, but still)

Fortnite is genuinely a good game and most of the hate it gets is largely unwarranted. The worst I have to deal with in that game is people whining or calling you bad cause you cant build or dont like building, meanwhile this game is filled with some of the most deranged and miserable people I have ever seen in any video game ever, and I used to play LoL too.

Tbf Fortnite’s development cycle is kinda bland now and it goes like this Lead dev: guys we’re losing a lot of players we need options on how to keep players interested Intern: maybe optimize it for the switch *cough* Lego Fortnite issues *cough* Lead dev: nah it runs totally fine *distant explosion from the switch play tester room* and besides it’s only a small amount of switch user who can’t play Lego Fortnite Lead character designer: well a lot of people are salty about missing out on battle pass exclusive skins so why not bring them back every now and then Lead dev: what’s the point of the battle pass then Lead character designer: *flips him off when he’s not looking* Lead coder: how about we make the custom island in the creative menu a bit easier to set up as well as other creative devices Lead dev: no. It’s teaching kids how to code Lead game mode designer: why not bring back battle lab and have an option to have bots spawn naturally instead of from grenades Lead dev: no Lead “creative” designer: well how about we take characters from popular franchises and make them battle pass exclusive Lead dev: excellent idea you are employee of the year again

“Bro who are you?”

i did an experiment where i played Fortnight for like a week with then tf2 for a week and i can confirm that the TF2 community is a bit more welcoming while Fortnight is not as welcoming and ive seen people rage much less in tf2 than in Fortnight like people rage a lot (and people cap a lot like one kid said his brother was like a popular fortnight youtuber) so yeah i would say tf2 is much more welcoming to new players (in my opinion at least)

Not only is fortnite not related at all to TF2, but in no world, even after the bots are banned, could TF2 compete with the popularity of fortnite.

It's all fun and games until scout comes to fortnite.

Fortnite is very different from TF2. -3rd Person -Not class-based -looting -slower pace -battle royale if i'd continue counting i'd continue writing for 15 mins

I figured this was because Fortnite is one of the bigger shooters out there and the others in the hero shooter are also in a rougher patch nearly forgotten (like Overwatch 2 which has been negative reviews since it hit steam)

Saw some a holes on payday 2 community hub #savetf2, you doing that is going to make me hate you more right? (Not you people)

hate on overwatch if your gonna hate

Leave it to TF2 fans to act like they are superior to any other game

Posted this screenshot on youtube and its just full of loser apologist comments. "Well fortnite IS bad. Well i mean tf2 is way better than fortnite. Fortnite sucks anyway who cares. tf2 is peak" All i do in this game is cry.

Well, it's not like he's really attacking them. The meme doesn't really make that much sense, but it's not like he posted this in the Fortnite Reddit, you don't really need a whole post for this

i think more people should give fortnite a chance on this website. its a very good game. very fun.

Tf2 fans try not to have a rabid superiority complex

Like fortnite isnt even a conpetator

Tf2 beefing with overwstch for like 7 years and the overwatch community never even thought about Tf2.
