The Official "Team Fortress 2" Thread (game is FREE now)
 
Since this is my game of choice for now, and probably even after BF3 comes out, I thought I would start this thread for TF2 to see if there are any regular players of this game (on PC) on TPWW.

If so, maybe we can get some group TF2 nights going. Pretty much addicted to this game.

So, anyone else play this on PC?

If so, my steam ID is HC Pwnography. Add me, and we'll get this ish going.

Edit: ALSO, this game is free2play, meaning you can download it off Steam for free now. There are a couple restrictions on free acounts, but literally all you have to do to become a premium account is purchase a single item from the store. Could be something as cheap as a 50 cent weapon, and it will upgrade your account to Premium.

Requiem 08-17-2011 06:59 PM

This is pretty much one of the best shooters on the market, IMO. For a number of reasons. It's extremely balanced, there is a fantastic community, and Valve still patches it regularly and adds new content all the time.

Blitz 08-17-2011 06:59 PM

Once I get a new laptop I may get this.

Requiem 08-17-2011 07:00 PM

You don't need to purchase it. It is free. Although if you want to become a premium user, all you need to do is purchase ONE 50 cent item from the store, and your account becomes a premium account.

Also, the system requirements for this game can't be too bad, seeing as it is 4 years old, and you can also turn settings down/off if your computer struggles for some reason.

Me and RoXer have been TF2ing it up for the past month or so and it is a blast. It can be frustrating, but honestly that's only because of some of the people you will play with who have no idea what they're doing. The game mechanics are surprisingly frustration free for the most part. Thank Valve for patching regularly.

RoXer 08-17-2011 07:06 PM

gay ass game

hate it

its dum

Requiem 08-17-2011 07:08 PM

fallen angel everyone!

RoXer 08-17-2011 07:10 PM

Does this mean I have to share all the funny TF2 related stuff I find on Reddit in this thread instead of bombarding you with IMs over Steam?

Requiem 08-17-2011 07:12 PM

I still expect plenty of bombardment, but I'm sure this thread would be made even better by funny TF2 stuff.

Requiem 08-17-2011 07:13 PM

I just want more people to play with us :(

Requiem 08-17-2011 07:14 PM

Feel like there could be some hilarious TPWW hijinks in this game.

Suck at PC shooters now, so haven't played it except for the day it went free 2 play.

Blitz 08-17-2011 10:08 PM

Can I play this with a USB control pad, or am I required to use keyboard/mouse.

Requiem 08-17-2011 10:33 PM

I would not trust the quality of normal USB control pads. I have found that most, if not all, are shoddy and don't give you the responsiveness you need.

However, RoXer plays this with a 360 controller and does fairly well.

Keyboard/Mouse is superior though, IMO due to a lack of any sort of autoaim as most games with controllers on consoles typically do. However, this isn't really a game about 'precision', save for maybe the sniper class. It's not as competitive an environment as games like Call of Duty are. Each class takes a different kind of skill, and there is something for all types of players, IMO.

Blitz 08-17-2011 10:48 PM

Sexy. I cannot play keyboard/mouse style.

Requiem 08-17-2011 11:45 PM

You should just practice and get better at it. Keyboard/Mouse allows you so much more control over what you're doing.

Nark Order 08-17-2011 11:55 PM

Requiem, add me to steam. I play almost every night of the week.

daysliveon@gmail.com

Nark Order 08-17-2011 11:57 PM

RoXer, go fuck yourself.

And then add me to Steam.

RoXer 08-17-2011 11:59 PM

:shudder:
 
just as long as tb1 doesn't play also... yucghk

Requiem 08-18-2011 12:01 AM

Added.

Requiem 08-18-2011 12:01 AM

If tb1 played, his spray would be a picture of himself looking smug. I can see it now.

Nark Order 08-18-2011 12:02 AM

Naw, he's PC game illiterate. My brother and I play most night of the week though. My brother is alot better than I an I am but I'm getting there. I like playing Heavy too much and it's a problem. Trying to get good at every class but bleh

Requiem 08-18-2011 12:03 AM

MEH, don't need to be good at all of them. I am absolutely HORRIBLE at scout and soldier, but I have no desire to get better at them. I play them when I feel like 'fucking around' and doing nothing useful.

Nark Order 08-18-2011 12:07 AM

Ill be on tomorrow night I think. At the girlfriend's house right now. FAREWELL

Just hate the style. Feels too twitchy. Anyways I downloaded this ish. Add moi. RJL85. Though I won't be playing online till I get a proper feel.

RoXer 08-18-2011 02:22 AM

Req and I can run you through a training course of sorts. You'll need it. If you're not properly introduced into the game, you'll hate it.

RoXer 08-18-2011 02:23 AM

Been having problems with my FPS dipping on my screen for no reason at all. Looking into it.

Requiem 08-18-2011 02:56 AM

Yeah, we will run you through some training and some maps probably. Once you get the hang of class tactics, and you know what to do as each one, jumping into online is really the best way to learn. People will always play differently than BOTs.

Extreme Angle 08-18-2011 04:48 AM

funkbro123 on steam. Add me :D

Nark Order 08-18-2011 09:57 PM

RoXer and I just had an incredible game.

Requiem 08-19-2011 12:46 AM

Yeah i'll probably play this in a little bit.

LoDownM 08-19-2011 02:12 AM

I thought about playing this like 15 minutes ago. But then I remembered how terrible I did last night.

Requiem 08-19-2011 02:44 AM

I have plenty of bad nights in this game.. lol.. but it's so much fun when you do something cool that it makes you want to play more so you can do those cool things again.

LoDownM 08-19-2011 02:49 AM

It wasn't a bad night, it was like my 3rd time playing the game, and the first time I've played a shooter on PC for more then 20 minutes in like 5 years.

Requiem 08-19-2011 03:02 AM

Owned this game for literally a year before I gave it a shot. Hated it at first, tbh. Thought it was totally lame because I sucked at it. lol

El Fangel 08-19-2011 08:24 AM

I am downloading and installing this right now, if anyone wants to add me: mmfallenangel582

Ermaximus 08-19-2011 09:49 AM

Ermaximus on Steam.

El Fangel 08-19-2011 11:04 AM

I think the biggest mistake I have ever made in my life is finding out what this game is like. There went 2 hours.
