Why do Team Fortress Classic Players hate TF2?
Every time i mention TF2 in TFC people will respond with F TF2 or whatever. Why is that? I like both games.

They're really different so I guess they're just sour at how much it changed.

Much like how Team fortress 2 players will hate deadlock when it comes out

Team Fortress Classic or just Team Fortress players were angry and hate Team Fortress 2 because it’s a completely different game that changed a lot

Same reason why fighting game players tend to hate new installments of their given game: things changed.
Tech and mobility options that were once present and honed for ages were reworked to the point where they needed to be relearned all over again and some people just cannot cope with this.

(not to be mistaken with removed entirely.) GG+R TO GGXRD are fundamentally vary similar but alot of things were changed to the point where routing is completely different. GGXRD to GG STRIVE removed every single ounce of GG+R and GGXRD to the point where routing is completely mindless: poke with far slash, do wildassault, win.
It's fundamentally more boring even if the game has the face of the other.
Lotta people misunderstand the fine line between reworked but still there, and reworked made boringly easy.
Someone who has played tfc could reasonably still enjoy tf2, much like how i've seen many +R players enjoy XRD, but there will always be a lingering feeling that something is missing which ultimately pushes them back to their given game but still able to understand the strengths of each given game.

When I first read this I instantly think of Smash Bros but I could be wrong.

Good point but I believe that Deadlock is going to flop, I could be wrong but we will just wait and see.

Deadlock is a moba, not the same genre of game.
Comparing to deadlock to tf2 is like apples to oranges, atleast when it comes to tfc compared to tf2 their the same genre like comparing granny smiths to honeycrisp apples.

People have been comparing Overwatch to TF2 since, what, 2016? that ship sailed long ago.

Overwatch is still a shooter in the same genre as tf2. It just replaced core mechanics with ♥♥♥♥♥♥ abilitys like how quake champions did, the core is still there.
It's the same genre as tf2, unfortunetly. It's hard not to compare when you have literal characters in both games that do identical things just one has a "ez" button that does it for them without having to put much finesse behind them.
So it's more like the red delicious compared to honeycrisps. You can still have bad apples.

Deadlock's ui literally shows ♥♥♥♥ like buy items (dota) with lanes (dota) and abilitys that level(dota) has mobs (dota) it just allows you to shoot in third person (smite).
It's a moba.

I know, but it’s valves next “hero shooter” which is the same genre as TF2, except mixed with MOBA. They obviously look different and will play different but TF2 players will still compare this game to that one much like how they did with Overwatch all those years ago (and still today). Which is why they will hate it a lot for departing from TF2s design even though it isn’t meant to be TF3

Another thing I do believe is that TF2 is more famous and popular than TFC despite them being older so I think their just jealous
