Think I'm done for now, racked up quite a few achievements. Just played 2fort and I pretty much won it for us as I got all 3 captures via spy/scout combo.

That's strange, as my piece of shit Radeon 9000 Mobility Pro handles it the same as CS:S and HL2. Lowest possible settings and 20-40 fps, but it's good enough!Jirotrom said:
Had the game crash on me a few times in the beginning (during the loading screen) but that resolved itself.
I get the feeling my laptop is handling TF2 pretty good, but not as good as CSS.
I've been playing almost nonstop for a few hours just now. Absolutely loving it. It's got that TF feel, looks great and is full of hilarious moments. God do I love being a spy.
NINE YEARS. And it was worth it.

I played for a couple of minutes before going to work this morning, which was probably a mistake because all I want to do now is go back home and play.
Spent most of my time as a Scout and I just flew through 2fort. I got to work on jumping into the enemy's battlements via the bridge roof. Most of my kills were from knocking out everyone with a bat.
I'm really impressed on how he turned out.

I need to try out the engineer since that's who I usually end up playing.
Fuck Valve for the late release but at least they know how to deliver.
Edit: I like how they don't mention deaths on any of the stats. Less embarrassing for me.

It's very easy to get into but wears off fairly quickly. I can't see this game being fun 1 month from now. it's just that: Too easy. Learning curve is, well, nowhere to be found.
It's freaking beautiful though, really. awesome looking game.
Quake Wars is not as graphically impressive but has so much more depth. It's like a RPG compared to TF2.
Still, both are very fun to play though I prefer Quake Wars.
Nice job Valve!

Great game of course.
But: there's way too much HUD. Especially after you're killed and you're waiting to re-spawn... 60% of your screen is taken up by HUD. During the regular play, I find there's too much HUD too.
Also, sometimes I wonder if this game is too cartooney for its own good - it can be a little distracting at times. That said, I plan on having lots of fun w/ this game, even compared to something like, say, Bioshock.

So AstroLad hasn't been joking about preferring a controller over mouse and keyboard for an FPS...

I quite enjoy the new vibe. I think it meshes well. Like how every starts yelling, "Fire! Fire!" when they're on fire. Or how a disguised spy looks to people on the same team.perryfarrell said:

Maybe at first, but you'll come back. The 360 community will die out while the PC one will be around until the next TF, whenever that is.McBacon said:

Prepare for maximum pwnage.
I'm getting another 7950 next week, so hopefully I'll be able to run this at high settings but my guess is it will be better optimized once new drivers and the final game come out.
Is it as annoying to get a 360 controller working this time around as it was with half life 2? Because I tried the drivers and everything last year and they never would map correctly for me. Does this have built in controller support or still have to mess with patches?

I'm hoping so to that's the thing I like about the games for windows thing is they have built in 360 controller support which is really nice but I don't know about this version, it would be nice if it had built in support.
Slightly ot, but maybe someone can help me with this. Whenever I try to update my SteamID profile, the Save Profile button just does not work at all. It's not lagging, it's just no functioning at all. I tried updating within Steam, via Firefox and finally trough IE, without any success. IE did give me an error report. It says it's expecting something on line 45 which can't be loaded. Anyone know what I can do about it?

Sounds freaking awesome. I'm an avid Wolfenstein ET player but I'm definitely going to get the Orange Box over Quake Wars. Besides I'll need a new graphics card for QW anyway.
I have a GeForce 6100 (don't laugh), 1.3GB RAM

I'm almost 100% sure they won't. Only windows live games have that kind of functionality and since live for windows is more or less directly competing with steam I can't see that happening at all.

Not really, almost all games I play with a controller, I play with sensitivity at max.

Hey, maybe if you're a "truly skilled controller player" you'll have some fun with the 360 version.traveler said:

I only played for about 20 minutes this morning, I've got way too much shit to do today to play more than that, but...FUN! I went in as a heavy with a medic on my ass and racked up about 12 kills in my first life :lol
Then I built a sentry near the entrance of 2Fort and got about 6 kills in 2 minutes.

got this fix from another forum (credits from some guy called cartoon)
"Does your game suddenly freeze, and your sound start skipping? Here's a working fix for your problem.
1. Right-click on Team Fortress 2 in the Steam games menu.
2. Click on Properties.
3. Click on Set launch options.
4. Type the following into the launch options field:
Quote:
-fullscreen -width # -height # -refresh 60
Change the two pound signs to the resolution of your screen. For example, if you want to play using 1024x768 resolution, type
Quote:
-fullscreen -width 1024 -height 768 -refresh 60
You may also need to change the refresh number to something like 70, but for most people it works at 60.
5. Click OK.
6. Start Team Fortress 2, and don't worry about the glitch anymore! It's fixed!
Credit goes to -=Cartoon=- for this wonderful fix. "
