Well i nearly got kicked out of Counter Strike clan for this argument . Lol i would have left i would have taken half the members with me to TF2.
In my opinion i believe Team fortress 2 is the "better game" simply becuase i have FUN . I know FUN which seems most counter strike Source players have forgettern these days . Mass rage and plain dickheads is what made me uninstall counter strike source and never touch it again .

What do you guys think ?

I enjoy Counter Strike a lot more. It just seems like I can pick it up and play in some random pub, and leave. Or, I can get scrims. I think casual players would like Team Fortress 2 a lot more than Counter Strike though.

I recently bought The Orange Box and I love TF2, its badass. Cant say that Ive ever played enough of Counter Strike to really judge though.

But you see thats what is so good about TF2 . Casual players can get into it but if your willing it put the effort in there is a lot of hidden depth . Also the game is just plain funny :)

I would agree, I thought Counter Strike Source would be the shit circa 2004.  I mean it was the same game I had been addicted to for 5 years with better graphics and physics, how could it go wrong?  Awful, awful hitboxes, that's how.  And I would agree, the people playing it made a difference too.  Source never felt like a social experience like 1.6 did.

These games are a little different, but I would go for TF2, thats an awesome online FPS, a lot of depth.

I think it's kind of difficult to compare Team Fortress 2 to Counter-Strike simply because they're very different games. Counter-Strike is competitive, realistic, and tactical, while Team Fortress 2 is lighthearted, humorous, and unrealistic. They also appeal to slightly different audiences; Team Fortress oftentimes appeals to more casual gamers, while (in my experience) Counter-Strike is more often played by "hardcore", serious gamers.

Really, when it comes down to it, whichever is the better game is determined by the player.

In my opinion, I like them equally. Counter-Strike is always good fun at a LAN party, and Team Fortress is always a lot of fun to play with random people online. Both are fantastic games and I'd recommend them to any fan of multiplayer shooters.

Just a few thoughts.

@turbomonkey138:
You're right, that's a valid point. Though that doesn't mean that Counter-Strike's online is completely destroyed by nasty players, you can always find the occasional server with a bunch of friendly people... As this comic demonstrates.
... Sorry, the comic was so relevant to the thread; it had to be posted.

While I feel like CSS is better overall, I'd rather play something like Vegas over that, but it doesn't replace something like TF2.
Speaking about these games, I dunno why, but I've always felt since it came out that Shadowrun is quite similar and quite good....except it had a lack of content due to them wanting to support it up the ass post released but FASA got shut down.

For me the general comedic factor of Team Fortress 2 makes me enjoy it more than Counter-Strike Source.

Ahh... they're good games, not super great.  They're, well, on par with the better Tom Clancy games. Not to say they're alike (although CSS obviously is to an extent) but that's how much I enjoy those games.

Counterstrike players take themselves far too seriously. TF2 is just good fun.

Jesus, make me decide between two of the handful of fps I like? I cant do it. I love both way too much. (if anything Source has a slight edge because its simpler than TF2)

IMO CS died the day COD4 came out.  TF2 is different, and has a lot of depth to it.  I also think it takes a bit more skill to actually master TF2.

While Counter Strike is a good game I find that I can't just jump in and play a game because either the people are too good or they're taking it too seriously. TF2, on the other hand, is my go to game and I can always have a good match whenever I join.

I've played a TON of Counter Strike 1.6...not too much Counter Strike: Source.

However, I choose TF2 in a heartbeat because as many others have said its just plain fun.

I played the hell out of CS back in the day.  Never got into CSS mostly cause I hadn't played CS in 2 years when Source first came out and didn't want to get my ass beat.  

I use to play CS for 12 hours a day, have some fond memories of dust 2 playing with my friends.   I also use to play a lot of TF loved to play the Eng or the Scout back in the early days

As of right now I feel that TF2 is the better game, for a few reasons. 

1) Its a more evovled team FPS then CS 

2) its not as frustrating as CS can be at times.  I think thats cause of the classes can really change up the play
