You...should've just bought it off of steam.

This is what I get when I pop in the discs.
Shouldn't it auto install instead of downloading the files off steam?

I was careless tonight and died way too many times (batted to death by Xizk 100 times and a few dozen rockets to the face)
I used to fear heavies the most but now seeing a lone scout running at me scares me shitless :lol

Thank god. It's making me fucking disgusted with the game. Even when I get a critical kill it feels cheap.

Just test no crits and it works.
You may random still get the crit sound and animation. But it does normal damage.
This is now permament. Also because of that, Stats have been reset.
This is amazing if it turns out to work reliably. Criticals do a great job of trying to ruin the game, in my opinion.

Whoa, no crits? An actual reason to play on the GAF server! Crits are fun, in a way, but they completely break soldiers and demos.

Fuck crits. Crutches for pansies and Soldier/scout scrubs.

Oh. I'm going to miss critting a heavy, a medic and a soldier with my syringe gun as they stand on a cap point.
But its probably for the best.

Hitokage said:Crits are hardly exclusive to soldiers, but hey, at least you people can stop whining about that and now whine how rockets do the same damage regardless of range.
Never understood why people complained about that; are rockets...supposed to morph or something as it flies along?
Anyways, looking forward to playing without crit. Sure the occasional sweet shot that turned kill because of a crit will be missed but hey, balance ain't a bad thing.
Also, wouldn't this be a slight boon to Pyros? No more single-shot kill rockets/minigun spray can't be a bad thing for them.
No crits is fucking stupid. Good people will recover from any spontaneous crit death, and bad people will be bad regardless of how many lucky crits they get. So stupid.
, so to balance that, it would make sense to do more damage the longer it flies.
It's called balance. Realism be damned. Rockets are extremely easy to dodge at long range (unless you're stupid like I tend to be 90% of the time ;_Davidion said:
, so to balance that, it would make sense to do more damage the longer it flies.To be clear, the default behavior is for weapons to do LESS damage over a greater distance.
Range-reduced damage actually hurts the effect of better aim and path prediction, as a dead-on hit from halfway across a map does noticeably less damage than if you pulled the trigger when they bumped into you. On the other hand, it does reduce the effectiveness of spamming a chokepoint with rockets from far away. I'm guessing Valve had the latter take priority.
Anyway, I'm liking it.

Why am I banned from the server again?
solider crits are one of the most bullshit in the game -- a rocket that does super damage and explodes on contact no matter what it hits.
I think the only crits I hate more are shotgun crits.
I kind of feel bad for medics though. The class is already horrible to play as it is, now the pathetic syringe gun will be even more pathetic.

I'm pretty sure it was that retarded shit you and your team ass friends were talking about TruLoki.

Really? Because I've never said anything to or about TruLoki. My friend did trash talk him a bit, but I fail to see how that is ban worthy.
Care to enlighten me about this "retarded shit" that you seem to remember?

haha, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I really respect people like you for playing medics -- I just can't see what's fun about it. I've tried it so many times, and I just can't dig holding down the heal button.
I think medics need a huge buff from valve. They need something to make them able to be played solo at least a little effectively. It'd be nice if they had an actual weapon instead of that stupid syringe gun. At least the medics in TFC could disease people and had a super nail gun.

Something something cock gobbler and kept harping on it or some shit. I dunno, I'm not an admin and didn't ban you or them. But as someone who had to read that stupid shit, I'm not really minding it.

There is so much more to the class than just that. A good medic can lead your team to victory. It takes much more skill than simply "holding down the heal button."
vultureparade said:
Maybe because you dont know how you use it effectively? It takes practice but the syringe gun is definitely more powerful than it first appears. And you'll be surprised how many people underestimate a head to head fight with a lone medic. Just ask n0b.

Oh, I know it takes skill. But when it all boils down you're still holding down the heal button and trying not to get blown to pieces for most of your play time.
Of course I don't know how to use it effectively. I just said that medic is no fun for me to play. But the fact that the syringes drop to the ground after traveling a certain distance completely gimps the gun. It's such a fickle fucking gun when compared to any other gun in the game.
And I've seen instances when a medic goes one on one with another class and comes out victorious, but it doesn't happen very often. How many people do you know playing medic as an offensive class that can heal? Why are there rarely ever enough medics on a team? -- no one wants to play them because you're stuck running around and healing the entire game.
I didn't say that. My friend did. But how is calling someone a cock gobbler ONE TIME ban worthy? Hell, multiple times. What, are we playing TF2 in a fucking church?
And you can't handle seeing "cock gobbler" appear on your screen in a game where you are blowing people to pieces? It's really funny what people get offended by and in what context. Come on now, really.
So I'm still curious about why I'm banned, who banned me, and why said person has admin privileges when apparently they can't handle the responsibility. The best part about the whole thing is that I was banned, then unbanned, and then I come on to play tonight after playing for a couple hours last night and find that I'm banned again.

I'm one of the most vulgar people here. It's really a matter whether they were funny or just stupid. Your friends were stupid and (more importantly) annoying, so I'm not really interested in seeing what they say pop up on my screen.
QQ?

So my one friend annoyed you by saying cock gobbler once in the game chat? I can't say I really understand that, but everyone has different feelings and sensitivity levels.
I just hope this ban thing works itself out soon so I can get back to blowing people up.
