Guys have probably discussed this already but what would you like to see as unlockables weapons for some of the classes.
Only class that I play that I can see as using different unlockables is the Pyro.
Liquid Flame Weapon thing - A weapon that is kinda similar to the demo man sticky in that you can lay down a big puddle of flaming liquid. Would fit in with one of the Pyro's role of weeding out spies as they need to cross a floor of flame to get to sgs etc.
Probably overpowered the mor I think about it.:lol
Napalm Launcher - The return of the TFC weapon except it has more splash flame damage and can hurt engis hiding behind their SGs.
oh and a suggestion for demomen.
MIRV Launcher - Demoman is the only class allowed to have grenades so he can have his old cluster fuck grenade back. To keep this from being spammed/overpowered it has a much larger reload time and the ammo clip would be like 1 or 2.

Every server I've been on with map voting, half the people just press a button to get rid of the screen and it ends up that all of those people manage to get a map that nobody wants to play up. Most people have realized that they can just ask an admin if they really don't like the map.
Besides that, the map shouldn't be changed just because one person doesn't like the map and calls a vote.

That is usually not the case here on our server. When it was enabled I never saw it abused. It came in handy many times when everyone wanted a map change, whether it was the map or one side is dominating and they want a new game.
So it's different here, and an admin is not always on. You and Java are on the most but not all the time.

Can anyone recommend some third party SATA cables? the ones I got with my last board sucked and were really tight.

Tight sata cables are a GOOD thing.
Otherwise they can be pulle dloose, or even vibrate loose, causing all sorts of annoying problems.
You can just check newegg for sat acables. Get something with a locking clasp.
Depending on your mobo / drive configuration, you'll have options such as:
straight cables
90 degrees on one end and 180 degrees on the other
90 degrees on both ends
Plan ahead before you buy. It sucks to get your cable to connect your drive, only to find out that it doesn't physically fit because of the layout of the ports.
I actually feel like if Valve wants to add something to the Pyro, just have a secondary fire with the flamethrower that uses up some fixed amount of fuel to release a big gas cloud that would disorient non-Pyros who walk through it (i.e. make their screen blurry as fuck so they don't know where stuff is coming from) and the gas could then go away relatively quickly, along with causing an explosion if it's lit on fire (i.e. hit with ANY weapon fire) which would basically just set multiple people on fire, and not do any serious initial damage.Aegus said:

A tech came out to my apartment today and told me it was the wiring in the building.
I talked to the apartment manager and she said that someone else had told her the same thing. The wiring needs to be replaced, and the apartment manager is against it (she assumes the building owner will be against it).

NOO! I thought screenshot was F1! Was just playing a game on Gravel Pit (area C) and a sniper was killed crossing one of the bridges and was dangling upside down, by one foot from the bridge. He was literally being hung from his foot and it was the most glorious sniper moment I've ever seen.

Wow, my aim is really off with the sniper now. I need to play more often again. I almost forgot how much fun this game is.
Ok, I played TFC religiously through School and even a couple years after. Even once they tried to force people out with the 1.6(?) stuff. Does GAF have a good group?
I was a great dub-HH'er (concs) and my bhop was average for a top player at the time. In an unhooked server I could get going 240 on HWguy within a couple hops. I mostly played Sold or maybe demo on D and 80% of my top clan time was spent as Medic on O, a bit as scout. I was bad at D
for the top level clans but I was ok on O.
Anyway, I saw the game coming out last year along with Quake Wars and both filled the kind of need I like. I finally got a new PC with quad-core but generic GFX card for now. I'd like to play for fun, my GFX card is just a 8300 GS I guess. Will I be able to play ok? I'm gonna d/l the HL2 source package here soon I think. So excited! I played TFC2 more than I think was healthly for me at the time.
For those who played the original (HL game that is) does it have the same kind of depth of characters and overall fun?

The game is great, you'll love it. I'm not sure it provides the exact same kind of game-play that would appeal to the most hardcore of players. You can't really manipulate jumps and such with explosives like you could in TFC (with the exception of Soldiers rocket jump). Another controversial addition to TF2 is the "Critical Hits" which pisses a lot of people off as they claim it takes skill out of the game with a healthy dose of luck. Either way, this game is FUN! Just buy the entire Orange Box, it will not disappoint.
Also, your computer will demolish this game, don't worry about how it's going to run.

Sweet good to hear, I've been downloading from Steam. I intend to play through the single player experiences first before playing TF2. Just looking for something to have fun. I love the class based games where you can pick all kinds of different roles.
are critical hits random? You already had head shots.

Crits aren't completely random. The better you do in the game, the higher your crit % goes. It's a reward for playing well, although all players start out with a low crit chance, so it may lead to weaker players getting free kills.SyNapSe said:

A couple of the maps won't let admins manually select them for some reason. I've had the same problem trying to change the map to Casbah and Warpath.
Damn I have been putting more time in this game but usually I cant joing the Gaf server /cry. It usually with 2 spots open but I guess they are reserved. If you see e around its NVHentai! haha the Ironic thing I play alot in that one porn server that just came out hahaha.

This game is so fast. What server are you all playing on? Yesterday the only fun server I find was French. If I get some free time over the next few days I'll play. Been so long since I played a console FPS.
Also this game is awesome, runs on anything at really decent settings. Can anyone recommend what to have the anti aliasing/antitrioscopic on?
