I heard Orange Box went gold. Wonder if use people who got it off steam will get the final TF2 before it hits the shelves.

How many do we have now? Off the top of my head I would say 4, but can't recall exactly.

There are 6 now.
And they patched again today... I recommend using the minihud under multiplayer options.

I bought that package yesterday, after 3 hours of download, I was able to play TF2 finally. I am a big fan of CS, CS:S and most FPS and was looking forward to another shooter with a strategy mix. Unfortunatly TF2 completely disappointed me. The game looked like a mess, carnage, $hit load of people shooting at each other. Thank God, there was no friendly fire. The whole strategy is around medics helping people and all the team members madly shooting at the entrance to the map to prevent other team from popping their heads out. So I did the same, became a rocket guy (soldier?) and was strafing back and forth shooting rockets. Whoohoo!!! Apparently it worked because I started to climb the points ladder. This was combined with occasional deaths by spies whom I didn't see in that barrage of exploisions. I felt like I was stuck on one of those crowded subways in New York with a ton of people per square foot.
Here is what I noticed: it was quite frequent when people got carried away at shooting, that they stopped noticing their enemies among them. It was a sight that made me laugh due to that TF2 cartoonish look. TF2 a-la Mad Max style.
I guess it is still ok to pay $45 for this package since it comes with other things I can play. I wish Valve continued the CS:S development and added maybe new classes/weapons/maps/cheating detection there.

I can understand someone coming from the CS world not being entirely comfortable with the TF world, especially the ultra-surreal TF2 incarnation which we are currently discussing. I played TFC before I got into CS back in the day, and I loved the off-the-wall unrealistic feel of it (although, if you think about it, the ultrarealistic tactical shooter was not in full bloom back then, so maybe TF2 is a reaction to Battlefield: Call of Ghost Recon Six ism and a return to our roots in an extreme way). I think TF2 is really fantastic and I'm looking forward to the many frenetic battles I'll be treated to in the future.
And for the record, I was born and raised in NYC, and I love the subway too
