TF2 single player: would it work?

[Jaso11111]

...and if so how? Im thinking that it would be very co-op based like L4D but on a biger scale. What do you thing?
Oh and tell as how you want the game to be (the mechnics, the story, etc).

Decent enemy AI?
Some sort of story campaign?

Its been done before afterall.

No, absolutely not. It would require a complete overhaul of the games mechanics. TF2 was designed from the ground up to accomidate a multilayer experience. The Medic is useless without people to heal, the engineer needs other people to push foward, and the Pyro's spychecking ability makes him/her even more valuable. I could go on all day, but the point is each class was created with all of the other classes on each team in mind, making the transition to single player nigh impossible.

What are you talking about? There is single player already, here watch. *Goes into training and starts a practice match with/against bots*

Thats why i said its sould be co-op focust and even if you dont have any other pepole with you the AI would takeover the other clases.

I mean with a story and stuf case you have to edmit, the TF2 world has alot of potential!

No a true single player would never work unless there is a massive overhaul of the game or you would end up like something in Enemy Territory Quake Wars.

They kinda-sorta have that, actually. On the PC version, there's a tutorial mode. It's very limited, but it has AI controlled everything-except-you. It's decently fun if you're learning or relearning the game.

TF2 has no story, and its world is skin deep! What the hell kind of story can you extrapolate from parodies of sterotypes having a punch up?

I disagree. It has a lot of character, but very little in the way of story (or potential for it). I think trying to write a plot for TF2 would be a lot like that Tom and Jerry movie where they both had voices and it was shit.
