I love getting healed by an enemy Medic.. but the part I like the most is when they uber me and I turn the other team's color, Just thinking about the look of the player.Firestorm said:

You sure about that? I've ubered quite a few spies and I could have sworn they are the normal color (whatever your team is)

I don't purposely look for spies to heal 
But when I'm the only medic and it's an intense area (defending last point on Dustbowl w/the tunnels and up top), it happens >_<

Couple quick questions, I know this has probably already been answered long ago but I just came into money after finally being able to sell textbooks that I don't need anymore. Anyway!
Am I better off buying the Orange Box at retail, or downloading it off of steam?
The only caveat is this: I have two different computers that I use in the house, and use at different times, and I play games from both. If I download it off of steam, can I install it on both of my computers? Or will I have to buy the retail copy?
Thanks in advance!

I gotta say, in my limited play time the last couple days, the plugins are doing unwelcome things. You can get on a roll where you're constantly auto switched to the attacking team (which can suck on the meat grinder maps.) Or we just had a map end, go to load a new one, and we load back to the same exact map. And then rock the vote is ignored, so it has to be played again
Did they buff it?

Thanks guys!Firestorm said:
So barring any retails sales going on right now, is getting it off of Steam the better value? IE: Am I missing anything in the retail copy that I would get rather than downloading? (I value my hard earned money, in case you couldn't tell :lol )
You get nothing extra with the retail version. They're both played through Steam and have the exact same restrictions. You'll also probably have to d/l a bunch of updates with the retail disc.
Orange Box is on sale at Circuit City next week for 39.99 (Plus tax. You avoid tax on Steam unless you live in WA.) So if you wanna wait 3 days, you could save a couple dollars there.

I want to bind voice chat to the "Back" button on my mouse (Logitech VX Revolution). I can't do it through the regular options since hitting the Back button doesn't register with it. Does anyone know what it would be called on the console or at least what voice is on console? I figure it might be MOUSE4 or something, but have no idea what voice is called.
I don't know. maybe on the servers I play on when the GAF servers are full/empty they did. I just know on dustbowl it's incredible to defend with a pyro. I've done it several times now and I always end the map as an MVP with around 40+ points, maybe longer if it's a really long map (like the final stage). I think it's just that dustbowl's map layout is perfect for being able to ambush people on each stage, so pyro is a lot stronger there than most other maps.1-D_FTW said:I gotta say, in my limited play time the last couple days, the plugins are doing unwelcome things.

I have the exact same mouse. I have BACK button simply as pressing "V" key and it works great.Firestorm said:
Hitokage said:Well, that round of dustbowl proved that a couple of good medics are better than a sentry. We pulled off a rare successful defense of area 1 without them, and it was almost without losing a cap.
Holy shit that round was fun. Robotaholic and I kept firing into their spawn point and just wrecking their shit up. I set a new record for damage done too.
Haha, I spent my time standing on the cap point blasting people at point blank range much of the time. Too bad I only tied my defense record before finally dying and allowing them to take the first point.
Oh wait, we did have sentries protecting the second point... but I'm pretty sure I didn't see any while defending the first.

I honestly don't know what my team was doing on that one... I went engineer to get us to the point faster, but I don't think anyone even attempted to cap half the time.

Gonna try that now. Did you add hl2.exe as a program and apply it to that in the logitech program?

"2fort is great if you're playing with people who know what they're doing and are moderately coordinated. Otherwise, it's a bore."
Actually, having played 2fort with people who know what they're doing and are moderately coordinated, it's still pretty fucking boring.

Pretty interesting collection of stats from Valve's TF2 stats reporting mechanism. I wonder if any of the huge imbalances noted by the stats are things they want to change? Like dustbowl and how easy it is to win it on defense, apparently.
