Organising this page

I've changed the differences into 3 sections. However, ideally there would be paragraphs of text describing each class and how it has changed from TFC to FF. Then another section on movement, describing concs, bhopping, trimping, double jumping, etc. - AfterShok MikeParker123 17:08, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. (That's why there's a cleanup template at the top.) Pretty messy article. ~ UBeR 17:25, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Maps section

Every map which has images in the media section is linked. I wonder if that's a bit overkill? While it's probably useful, it may be better to have a single link to the media section instead. From WP:EL: "Try to avoid linking to multiple pages from the same website; instead, try to find an appropriate linking page within the site." --Pizzahut2 22:17, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

That sounds fine. ~ UBeR 22:43, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Deleted stuff

The forum posts are from December when the developers believed they may be able to get FF out in March of this year, which now is highly unlikely. Thus these references are now useless. Since these forum posts were the only references, the section was empty. Empty sections should be deleted imho. The need for a history section, if there actually is any, can be expressed in other ways, e.g. mentioning it in the discussion of the article. --Pizzahut2 01:08, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

On top of this, the text which these references were refering to, has been removed (and rightly so). See here. --Pizzahut2 01:20, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Credits?

Is this page a movie ad? why is half of the page credits? --Voidvector 02:41, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, we can and definitely should remove it. It's pretty much unnecessary trivia. Games usually don't list all their makers. :-) ~ UBeR 04:07, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Rewrite the article

We should write the article so readers who are not familiar with TFC can get a hang of what the game is about. Right now, the article mostly deals with how it differs from TFC or is the same; for people who don't know TFC, this is rather confusing and non-helpful. they'd have to read the Team Fortress Classic article before they could see how FF is different. ~ UBeR 04:20, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Notable mentions

Does anyone know the year/issue/page of the game magazine articles? --Pizzahut2 23:17, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

I've moved this old comment I wrote from the article page: "To prove notability of Fortress Forever and thus avoiding a deletion of this article, add awards, reviews, Mod DB ranking and such, see Dystopia (computer game)#Awards." In retrospect, notability is important, but it isn't everything. --Pizzahut2 23:35, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

HL2 Mod

Why isn't this article in the Half-Life 2 Mod category? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.187.6.176 (talk • contribs) 04:48, 20 July 2007

This article has previously been deleted simply because the mod hasn't been released yet, this happened at the time to many mod articles. The reasoning being that unreleased mods are not notable enough for Wikipedia. There were only few exceptions, e.g. the Black Mesa(:Source) mod. So it's probably best to wait until the mod is released, or if you're paranoid even wait until there are some reviews out which can be added to the Notable mentions section. However, the mod has already been added to the List of Half-Life 2 mods, so might as well add the category. --Pizzahut2 16:45, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

This poor article...

This is like the abandonware of articles. I don't know how it got so decayed, but if anyone is out there, I'm going to try and clean it up, starting with the large amounts of now-incorrect tense. Zell65 (talk) 21:28, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

HL2? No, Source SDK base

FF doesn't need HL2 to work. It just needs a source engine game (even portal might work), or source SDK Base

I fail to see how this page is written like an advertisement...

So I've removed the Advert tag. 24.154.203.216 (talk) 14:07, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
