I'd love to play some games but most of you are in the US. Euro am cry...
If any european gaffers wants to add me to their Steam buddies, my username is Mistouze.
Icy, I sent you my steam ID for the european server but I kind of heard it had been taken down. What is the situation on it?
BTW from the few games I played, TF2 seriously rocks. Never thought playing Medic could be THAT fun.

Maps in Source have a "skybox", which is basically a bunch of minimized objects that get zoomed around the main map. If you stand inside the skybox, you will appear giant in front of players in the main map, so it's not really a secret island, heh.jeremy70583 said:

Any ideas when the new achievements will come out?
So I am buying Orange Box this Friday, and I wanted to know how well would it run on my GeForce 7600Gs, Intel Core 2 Duo 1.86GHz, 2GB Ram, Vista. I prefer to have MSAA2x on, but AF isn't a need. I am happy with a constant 30FPS, no need for 60 until I get a GeForce8800 (or any of the 9000 series when they come out), but I kinda wanted to know so to know what to expect.
help a noob out.
so i have a machine that can run this well now and i would like to play it.
but the issue is that i haven't played TF since TF classic was bundled in my Opposing Force box and i don't want to walk in and get slaughtered. are there any sites which have good info about the game so i can read up a bit before i just launch hedlong into it?
i'll probably end up playing medic because that's always my favorite class.

I actually thought the timer servers were better last night, Icy.
Granary was still a route, but it had more to do with team balance. And it wasn't the complete steam roll it usually is. And I didn't notice any other map suffering at all, either. In about 4 hours of play, we only had 2 or 3 sudden deaths (on the sudden death magnet map, Hydro?)

Haha, like i said, i dislike it, but its not a huge problem. Just when you get defeated, sometimes you will respawn and get killed again before it resets because of the 10 sec spawn.

ulcajun huh, I always thought it was Ultra Cajun :lol
Was the respawn limit really changed to 8 seconds? Dust Bowl seemed a lot harder. We failed at the 1st stage once, barely captured the second time. The other team captured the 1st stage and failed the second stage. 12 seconds would be better.
Better yet, just let Granary be rotten and let the timer go back to default. I rather have a fun Dustbowl then a competitive Granary. Dustbowl is the best map and deserves full glory.
The last game of Granary was a sudden death draw. So whatever the setting is, it's just a grind of a map. Can't really be saved.

And I have a question about playing medic. Is the beam stronger when you're closer to the guy you're healing?
The last time I played medic I was standing in the tunnel before granary C and had a heavy die pretty quickly. Quickly switched to a second heavy and he died just as quickly. I had my beam on them from a good distance, but it was definitely on.
Because I was protected from the battle I couldn't see how they died. But I know how hard it is too kill a heavy, let alone one with a medic. So I've wondered ever since how it happened. Does beam distance make a difference?

Nope, the healing beam isn't that powerful. The times you see heavies almost invincible only occur when soldiers consistently miss or when he's at full health(450). Two soldiers firing constant rockets without missing is enough to down a heavy that's being healed, takes about six rockets within a short span though.1-D_FTW said:
I asked that question in the server the other night. There was a couple instances where it seemed to take forever to charge someone back to full health, then others charged almost instantly. Both on the same soldier, so it wasn't an issue of how much total health. The only thing I could think of was the distance between me and the person, so I had to ask. Maybe it's just my imagination though.

Actually, I should mention that people seem to be healed faster the more health they have. Ie, people who have 'red' health are healed slower than people who have white health. I thought it was just my imagination though, might be worth testing.WhatRuOn said:

Hey! I should go play right now so that nobody will be disappointed in me!!!!111
The server is full.
Every time I check the NeoGAF server it's always fucking granary....can we pleeeeeease get more dustbowl?
And IMO keep the timer at default. I don't know what default is, but on a map like dustbowl the defending team should have a longer respawn time, otherwise the game is imbalanced.
