The original TF is for Quake and none other. TFC was indeed pretty sloppy to me too, but TF.. That's a different story.

Also, TF2 does indeed rock.

I hope they'll have a free weekend for this. I keep hearing such great things about it, but it just doesn't sound that great to me without trying it. I know it could be awesome - I played Red Orchestra all through its free weekend and got it soon after. And then played it for like 2-3 months.

Most fun game of the year IMO.

I concur!

If you see someone by the name of Yiddx dominating everyone in your favorite server, steer clear because he doesn't take it easy on anyone. :evil:

 

[computeerrgghh]

I recently got Orange Box. This game is tons of fun. What are some servers you guys are playing on?

I've also become addicted.....I was really looking forward to a SoF3 multi fix but that appears to be a disappointment. My steam name is hadsus and my handle for TF2 is Crazy Ivan. I didn't know we had an AT server/group. See you's in that deadly space between the muzzle of my rocket launcher and your bloodied exploded body.

Bwahahahahahaha....

 

[KillerCharlie]

Is it really worth $30? Is there any way I can try before I buy through Steam? I used to play a TON of TFC back in the day.

Hopefully TFC -> TF2 isn't like DOD -> DOD:S. I think DOD was the best game ever made (as far as gameplay, pace of the game, and the weapons), but DOD:S one of the worst.

i bought the orange box the week it came out through steam... and i haven't regretted it once yet. portal was probably the most original and inventive game i've played in years and TF2 is seriously the most fun i've had playing a MP fps since probably TFC.

no grenades might bother some old school TFC players... but honestly i don't even notice them gone.


my name on steam is the same as my name here.

if you wanna spam, play demoman. he's more spamalicious than ever

OMFG it's awesome!! I <3 Demoman and Soldier!

I got the Orange Box and played Portal first but now I'm on TF2. Steam ID: WhiteFlame. Currently I'm just trying out the different classes. I find myself playing medic a lot since they seem to be lacking on most teams. But you get on a team and being a medic just means your the top target and your team isn't watching out for you. I was healing a heavy and got backstabbed 3 times in a row, after that I spawned as a soldier instead.
Still trying to figure out good places for sentries on most maps. Good way is to see which give you the most trouble.

 

[40Hands]

My name is the same as it is here and yes this game is totally sweet. I've played it for a little while now.

I tried to like the engineer. But, sentries are just fodder for the spies. So, you build your sentries and then waste your time firing blindly in the air around them or build and then rebuild them a few minutes later if you don't protect them. However, there is nothing quite like seeing an upgraded sentry turning the enemy to mincemeat in front of enemy forts on the 2Fort map.

 

[ITPaladin]

Well the price is back up to $50 on Steam which is 10 more than what you can find a box in store for.

I'm not paying that much and Steam CS never got back to me in time regarding the error on my order.

If this is any indication: http://kotaku.com/339728/germa...ass-to-team-fortress-2 then we may see a free weekend in the US at some point.

 

[DangerAardvark]

My Steam name is The Wall. I always seem to end up playing Medic or Heavy since apparently everyone wants to be a spy or engineer.

I hope so. I have been curious about this game but I would prefer to demo it first before shelling out the cash to buy it.

 

[MetalMat]

My name on Steam in Metalmat. I mostly play as a Soldier or Engineer, but I pretty much play every class except Spy and Scout (except on rare occasions).

Always protect your sentries instead of attacking the spies. Some spies are good and will kill you while you're protecting the sentry, but most aren't quick and if you protect your sentry it will kill them when they try to kill you.

And never ever put your sentry out in the open. Put it someplace where YOU can have your back to a wall, therefore the spy cant backstab kill you. And of course shoot everyone who comes near your sentry. Usually most spies are too dumb to change their disguise. And you can kill most before they even get to your sentry, or at minimum wound them badly enough that you can whack them with a wrench.

lol

It's usually hard to put your sentry anywhere but out in the open. I can count on one hand the number of times I was actually unable to manouver into a position to backstab the engineer after sapping the gun. One time on Dustbowl Stage 3, I kept humping the dudes gun trying to hop over to stab him just after sapping; guess it gave me away.
