I hope to god they make functioning alt+tab. Wow has spoiled me

9/18/2007 6:48:16 PM

Could always try windowed mode. But I agree, ALT-TAB has never worked well with Source.

9/18/2007 6:53:05 PM

I like it. Very silly. Will take me a while to get the classes down. Right now I am new to this, so big gun all the way

Anyone else here a TF original? I remember my clan waaaaaaay back in the day in middle school. Hell yeah.

9/18/2007 7:11:04 PM

Dear Valve,

Why oh why did you take out all the grenades. The concussion and infection grenades were some of the coolest features of TF.

9/18/2007 7:23:54 PM

<- original teamfortress player

i always wanted a good vid card to play it with OpenGL

9/18/2007 7:33:48 PM

so for some of the stuttering/freezing crashes I have heard that running the game windowed fixes it

9/18/2007 7:36:49 PM

If there are no hunted maps I am going to be very sad

9/18/2007 7:54:00 PM

Yeah I hate not having conc's as a Scout

9/18/2007 7:54:04 PM

Well I've had enough of this for now. I spend 10 minutes waiting for the game and server to load only to have the thing freeze and crash half the time I start playing.

9/18/2007 8:02:42 PM

ATTN: everyone

engineers and spies are only two of the great classes in the game. why not try playing the others once in awhile?

p.s. hwguys are OP

9/18/2007 10:43:20 PM

Haha yeah, medic + hw guy is pretty overpowered. I like soldier the most cuz it's pretty much unchanged from TFC, except for the lack of grenades. I dunno about sniping yet. It's completely different from TFC, and it's harder cuz the only way to charge your shot is to be zoomed in which gimps your fov. Also, a fully charged shot doesn't really kill anything unless you shoot them in head. I think they need to tweak that a bit, sniping feels a bit gimped.

Btw, keep posting your Steam IDs, we've got 12 people in TWW group so far.

[Edited on September 18, 2007 at 10:53 PM. Reason : :]

9/18/2007 10:51:30 PM

my roommate and I plan on mastering the medic/hwguys

not that it matters for me but are they planing on releasing TF2 separate on the 8th or what?

9/18/2007 10:52:11 PM

can someone explain this to me... is it a game? a part of half life? or whta?

9/18/2007 11:02:43 PM

Finally seem to have someone gotten the freeze/sound loop bug under control. It still does it sometimes but only for a second and it hasn't frozen or crashed yet. I changed my volume quality to medium and added -dxlevel 81 to my launch commands (forces DirectX 8.1).

Really loving this game. My ID is Vulcan91; invite me to the group.

9/18/2007 11:27:37 PM

pyro/medic combo is so much more fun than hwguy/medic

This looks like all the old WoW people are here.

9/19/2007 11:01:00 AM

tried this out this morning, but only got to mess around with a few classes. it's a little hard to adjust to the fast paced moving, but its really fun.

9/19/2007 12:20:29 PM

jumping into a narrow room/hallway and setting the whole place on fire is incredibly fun

9/19/2007 12:22:47 PM

upgrading to TF2 from WoW is a fucking worthwhile effort! I applaud em. Talk about waking up and saying FUCK YOU to leetish and endless raiding, farming, loot, and dkp grinding, nerd herds on vent, and bandying about in ironforge in a new +2 stam leather belt, b/c as you know that sounds real fun and all....lol.

BUT GOD THIS GAME ROCKS (when it's working....*sniff*)

9/19/2007 1:09:46 PM

One thing about this game is that the players mostly seem to know what they are doing. But, if your team sucks balls it can be extremely aggravating.

9/19/2007 1:20:33 PM

I SO just bought the Peggle game.



Its a silly thing

9.95

9/19/2007 1:55:20 PM

peggle rules

I really wish they'd get rid of the spawn timers. Having a supercharged heavy sitting outside your spawn in 2fort really sucks dick with a 20 second timer. Part of the fun of TFC was the endless chaos caused by everyone always being alive somewhere.

9/19/2007 3:32:00 PM

i like the timers, it makes staying alive important. Also keeps defense from not ever losing ground. if it bugs you, stop dying so much.

i dont like spawn griefing though when you are getting yout butt kicked, but that's the laws of nature of team based objective combat. can't tell you the amount of times ive been griefed when our team is losing in Bf1942/bf2 by revolving tanks but eventually your team has to muster the organization to concert an attack to get out of it.

9/19/2007 3:52:22 PM

My TF2 isn't showing any servers =( I click join game and it just sits there saying refreshing, finding nothing.

[Edited on September 19, 2007 at 4:28 PM. Reason : nm - had to wait 5min and hit refresh again, who knows]

9/19/2007 4:27:20 PM

I usually have to hit refresh to see any servers

I hit "refresh all" even though it's supposed to do that when it starts

9/19/2007 4:31:23 PM

glad to see the constant sound loop crash is still here...now i remember why i stopped playing cs:source

engineer guns in close quarters = broken

9/19/2007 10:17:43 PM

if you listen to the dev commentary they say that the guns are supposed to be pretty much impossible to run by

but the guns suck at hitting enemies that pop out from behind a corner, shoot, and then duck back

which in my experience is 100% true

9/19/2007 10:19:59 PM

ugh, i dont want to buy orange box, i wont be able to play episode 2 any more than i was able to play episode 1 (nausea issues, only with hl 2 and katamari, odd huh)

can't i just pre-order tf2 and get the fucking beta?

I have no idea how old that is, but the same page had the correct release date so I'm hoping it is still true.

9/20/2007 1:09:52 AM

So does anyone have any idea how critical hits work? Can you do something to trigger them or is it just completely random?

9/20/2007 9:28:14 AM

Also, anyone have idea how u get the blue rockets as a soldier?

9/20/2007 9:30:23 AM

^, ^^ From what I've heard they are critical hits and are just randomly awarded. Kinda the same way it is in many rpg battles maybe?

9/20/2007 9:52:42 AM

I get critical hits all the time ESPECIALLY as a heavy + medic. When I have ubercharge active with a medic every hit is a critical hit practically. its sweet as hell

9/20/2007 12:27:30 PM

peggle rules, just dominated it went all the way through, never lost a level, but had several freakin awesome lucky bounce, long range, and free ball shots in the clutch\

if only it didn't take for fucking ever for the rest to download

Quote :

"Critical hit shots are chosen based on a player's momentum on the scoreboard, causing rockets and grenades to show as a visible white sparkle. It is important to note the sparkle means that a shot is critical, not the hit, so a player could miss a critical hit if he misses the shot. When you hit someone with a critical hit, a text icon appears over their head."

9/20/2007 7:38:04 PM

is there a bonus to attacking or killing a player you have dominated?

or only that they get more points when they get a revenge kill?

9/20/2007 10:56:32 PM

^^^jealous posts like that just magnify your short comings.


Playing a class the way itssupposed to be played with good teamwork is what this game is about. I dominate the heavy class as a spy with no effort... Are you going to bitch about that too?
