QWTF - loved it, playing spy was like acting because you had to mimic the speed of whatever class you changed into using keypress timing
TFC - meh, it was ok
Q3F - great except for the bowling ball sized sniper bullet hitboxes. I never saw so many headshots, eventually killed the game thanks to easy headshot sniping
TF2 - lots of fun but less challenging than QWTF, great for turning off your brain and just spamming shots constantly
One thing I don't see often is mirror damage on friendlies. What that does is if you shoot your own team, then the damage you do reflects onto you. This makes it more challenging, less spam, and fewer snipers just shooting anything that moves.

No, we didn't like it. It didn't have the same appeal that other games had. Taking out a solider or a demo guy as a pyro was significantly more satisfying than any experience I ever had trying Counter-Strike, and I could get that in nearly every single QWTF match. Tribes had some fun aspects to it, but then outdoor battles started to boil down to jump packing and disc launching where you expected the other guy to land. After a few dozen games of that, it got pretty stale because most battles were outdoors.

My biggest issue with TF2 is it's sound design. Everything from character audio, to the music, to some sound effects is very grating on the ears. If it ever gets an official Source 2 remaster, that's one area that must be improved.

That much is true, it's infested with bots.
They had that in the 1996 version too. Maybe a year later. There were new ideas coming along with new maps.
The grenades in the original were: Frag grenade, concussion, emp, hallucination, mirv which split into multiple big explosions, nail grenade like throwing a trap that spins and shoots out nails in all directions, napalm, caltrops, some kind of flashbang, demolition kit.
Maybe some others I forgot. And everyone got 2 frags and then 2 of the others based on class.
