Final Combat: dignity is the first casualty

"All of your intellectual property are belong to us!"

Final Combat is a rather shameless TF2 ripoff from a Chinese developer that I will not name. They have a website full of theft that I will not link. It seems they've ripped assets straight out of TF2's cache, and modified (slightly) the rest to accommodate the Motherland's goose-stepping military aesthetic.

Kotaku tells me Final Combat has "a Pyro with a guitar on his back, a Scout armed with a hockey stick, and a Demoman, distinguishable from his TF2 counterpart only by heavy armor." The dev actually has the balls to claim that all of their content is completely original. See what you think:

B2F is a Korean "class-oriented" FPS in search of European and American publishers. It features bad voice acting and jiggle-boned boobs large enough to stop an RPG round.
