If there was a free camera mode, I'd probably make a machinima with all the TF2 sounds in this game. Why? I always hear them when I play! When I make a firebase, I hear "Sentry coming up!", and I even know how to slip the Ubercharge in there too!

Actually, while it is kind of a hate video, this one got close to my idea.

MW2 and MoH both use real guns! which one is the clone?

This game is more Starwars Battlefront 1/2 that TF2.

What you want the guy with the machine gun to have a body of a sniper? You think the assassin should run around healing team? Think the engineer should use a flame thrower?

They didn't copy TF2, They used common ******* sense just like TF2 devs did.

TF2 did for class-based shooters what Street Fighter did for those weird games where your characters refuse to take advantage of a whole third dimension of motion while mercilessly pounding the crap out of each other.

But seriously, TF2 is much slower paced than MNC and without significant customization (at least none on Xbox).

I think the FAQ answered it best;

Q. Is Monday Night Combat just a clone of [insert popular AAA game title here]?

A. Monday Night Combat offers up a unique third person shooter experience with many different play styles interwoven. Granted, we have borrowed mechanics from many other things such as walking, talking, war, guns, robots and even money.

I also wrote this as a part of a response to this question on another forum;

Ill start by countering some misconceptions or opinions of the game that I feel are a little off;

It looks like TF2.
It does have a similar art style, but that has no bearing on gameplay and certainly isnt evidence of a wannabe game or rip. Saints Row looks like GTA and several ww2 shooters are interchangeable. You may as well say that TF2 stole its style from Pixar. Even if it did, its not an argument against the quality of the game.

Then theres also the theme of the game, which is different from the style.
Team fortress 2 has two opposing teams that represent corporations fighting for dominance in abandoned locations.
MNC features matches played in a futuristic sports arena with an over-the-top announcer. They might have similar art styles, but the themes are completely different.

It plays like TF2 Why play this when I can play TF2?
Heres where we get into something a bit different. One can make the argument that they look the same, but cant make the argument that they play the same;

Team fortress 2 is a first person shooter that, depending on what class you take and what mode you play, is mainly about killing other players so that you can achieve your objectives, which revolve around classic themes as capture the flag, deathmatch and territories. Team fortress 2 is very much skill-based, with twitch-based controls and often frantic gameplay.

Monday Night Combat is a third person shooter where players must kill players, destroy defences or escort their robots in order for their bots to be pushed into an enemy base where they take the moneballs shields down, allowing it to be damaged and destroyed, earning a win. Three separate entities (not just players) are involved; players, bots and turrets. Each of these elements and their upgrades are decided by the players and can have a large impact on gameplay. The flow of a game is almost never determined by kills/deaths, rather it usually comes down to the pushing of bots down lanes and the removal of enemy defences.

Does that feel like the same game?

Comparing these two is like comparing Mass effect to Halo because of their art styles and inclusion of similar archetypes; heavy space soldiers and aliens exist in both games, therefore they must be similar? No. TF2 and MNC might have similar archetypes in the character classes (forgetting that MNC includes either unique combinations like the assassin or support and classes that have no real analogue such as the Tank) but the class dynamics are much different; for instance the stealth character in MNC, unlike its supposed counterpart in TF2 is the weakest class when dealing with the support and their turrets. Its actually much better at clearing robots.

If you feel that TF2 is more fun than MNC, that's a matter of opinion. You would however be incorrect to say that TF2 does a better job than MNC, as they do very different things.
