Team Fortress 2 Official PC Thread. SO. WORTH. IT.

Just got done playing my first rounds. Runs sweet, using a core2duo e6750, 2gb ram, 7950gt under XP pro. The look of the game is getting much attention, but the gameplay is absolutely polished and has that old TF "feeling", imo. If anyone is sitting on the fence, it really is so worth it. Now, gotta get back to the game! :D

worked for me
I'll try this.

On another note... I actually made it into the game at 800x600 with a fan propped right up to my case. I think it's overheating or something... I'll investigate if this doesn't help

I think that is my favourite part of the game, defending my turrets and dispensers agaisnt those pesky spies, its so funny when a spy with your own name comes up and tries it, or the spies that just stare at you for a while waiting for their chance but you just kill them with the wrench :lol

Nothing is working for me still. Jeez, I've tried just about every launch option combination I've seen and I still can't get it to not stutter.

played it a bit and I don't like pyro as much as I thought I would. so instead I've switched to demoman as my main guy... tons of fun. I still haven't built my new system, though, so I'm in a world of hurt running it. It likes to crash a lot, especially if I try to change some of the video settings (I want to get rid of my AA and reduce my AF, but whenever I try the game crashes).

Incredible game.

About the only suggestion I have is to reduce the clutter in the spectator modes (including after a death). I'd love a HUD-free option.

I think it was Queens Own and I went back and forth planting and disarming the device like 10 times in a row. He was standing in front of my turrent planting the device and I was standing behind it disarming it. Eventually I beat him with my wrench.

This game has exceeded my fun expectations. Unbelievably good. I can't believe it's beta, I've seen gold games with less bugs. Aside from the random disconnects (that seem to have ended) I haven't had any glitches. My brand new copy of Skate for the 360 is already gathering dust. :lol

Well, the thing is, the game has already gone gold. But this is the beta.


Yeah, I'm confused to, ask Valve.

I can't believe I have so much fun playing a Medic

going on a rampage with Ubercharge is just hilarious, and you wind up dominating half the enemy team

Finding a skilled Medic is actually pretty hard, if I'm not playing with my friends, you need someone who moves intelligently and is very aggressive with uber, and with following, leading, or hiding as needed - easier when you're sitting on vc with a friend for sure.

Heavy/Soldier/Pyro is SO much more effective when backed by one though

i'm one of the unlucky souls that can't play this game due to loading and connecting crashes : / ...this game looks so fun.
 
Me, Quellex, Frag, Eman, Teepo, and some others all wound up on the same server and had some GREAT games. Even did the "win well in 5 minutes" thing.

[IMG]http://i3.tinypic.com/4v5o2h1.jpg[IMG][/QUOTE]After playing TF2 all night, I've come to the opinion that the sharing, when credit is due, for kills, points, and captures in FPS multi-player games should be required in every game from this point forward. It's about freaking time some developer did this.


Oh that and the all out sudden death in the end when things are tied, that is seriously like the best part of every map when everyone goes all out.
 

ghst

thanks for the laugh
This game is absoloutely beautiful. Like one of the best looking games i've ever played.


Art>Tech is all very good, but Art+Tech with a giant splatter of class and personality makes for a freakin gorgeous game.

Sniping is kinda too easy on some maps, 2fort especially, kinda get the damage/headshot system was more designed with the 360 in mind.

demoman is serious pwnage if u know what u are doing. Even offensively, the ability to fuck shit up around corners is invaluable.
Amen to that.

I wish the pipebombs weren't sticky though for easy uses around corners. I am a master in TFC at being a stealth demo.

And I'm the Demoman that kept blowing you up (you kept trying to snipe on that path up to the cliff)!

I know. Damn you. If I only had more backup. I got rid of almost all of those sentries though and those damn engineers. So many on your team.
 
"I wish the pipebombs weren't sticky though for easy uses around corners. I am a master in TFC at being a stealth demo."

If sticky bombs weren't sticky, demo man would have zerrrrrrrrrro chance at surviving a close range encounter, though. At least with sticky bombs you could (assuming your opponent's dumb) lead them around to a nasty sticky bomb trap or (assuming your opponent's smart), get them to back off and give you distance for the grenade launcher's best range.

Played for a few hours, its awesome, my favorite class has to be the spy, i just LOVE "acting" that im coming from a corner but in reverse, making them think im backing from an enemy, get behind their lines, STAB, cloak, run away :p

The game crashed twice so far, not too shabby for a beta.
 
I might cave in soon and order it on Stream instead of waiting for the box copy.

and I need to go hook up my old mouse, this MX Revolution is horrible for playing games and ever since I have been using it, I have barely been playing PC games, it is evil...if only browsing gaf wasnt so good with it.

That was freaking hilarious. When we were playing I was like wtf, why do my sentry guns keep getting shorted out, there is only a HW from my team in the area. Damn bastard spy!
 
Is it new, but did anyone notice that when someone is talking on a mic and you are underwater their voice sounds like an underwater garbled voice? Perhaps it is just my speakers crapping out.
