Team Fortress 2 Runs Surprisingly Well In A Browser
- Thread starter Earnest Cavalli
- Start date
can someone explain to me why browser based gaming is the future? Why do company's spend the time and effort to make life hell by making us install plug-ins and use our crappy not so stable because its always updating browser to launch, manage and install their games?
Am I missing something? is there a logic to this madness? I really want to know.

i fail to see why so many comapnies go for flash. flash is the worst programing engine ever invented. yes its easy to program in it, and since programmers are lazy, or he ceos save money on hiring programmers who dont know how to program were getting flash. im very happy that they use webGL instead. flash should be limited to watching videos, even then, there are much better alternatives. actually, we should just make flash obsolete. i mean noone uses windows 98 because they suck, why are we still using flash?
P.S. capcha: bandits escort WOOT WOOT
Interesting. Even though it's not officially sanctioned by VALVe, I can't imagine that they would pass up the opportunity to make a browser-based version of TF2 for people like me with shitty computers that wouldn't really run standard TF2 well. I mean, Quake Live pulls it off fine. Connect to a match, watch a commercial, play the game. And you wouldn't have to worry about the Mann-Conomy to make the game profitable; just have commercials for the free players and a premium membership option (with more maps and modes) for the ones who are willing to pay. Again, Quake Live, in my opinion, demonstrates this well. They've been here this long, right?
The only downside would be that it would be another obstacle in the path of them finally releasing Half-Life 2: Episode Three. As if we haven't waited long enough. We're about to start entering Duke Nukem Forever on the waiting schedule. >X-(

If you watched the video you'd know that he says its a problem with his recorder causing the video to run at 25fps, but running on its own at 60fps.aashell13 said:
The problem with this is of course that this gives Flash another reason to persist as something that exists.
Let me say in no uncertain terms that Flash is the worst software I have ever installed on a computer, even if I include some of the more harmless things that were deliberately designed as malware.
Adobe consistently turns out software that is capable of causing failures more severe and wide-reaching than are supposed to even be possible in the environment running it. This is something akin to a company making biplanes which sometimes spontaneously zoom out into lunar orbit before exploding, damaging a chunk of the ISS along the way.

I'm pretty sure my computer is not a toaster, but I can't even walk out of the spawn due to lag.Kopikatsu said:
