:lol, after idling on a server for a few hours getting nothing I was seriously about to uninstall TF2 because I couldn't get my Cloak n Dagger(which is awesome, btw). But as soon as I closed TF2 I saw that it was updating and read the notes that they were adding milestones =)fallout said:
=======
On a unrelated note does it seem like they raised the random drop percentage? Because on the server I was playing you couldn't go 10 minutes without someone unlocking/finding a weapon. I unlocked 4-5 in the past few hours myself...
I haven't really played much since it first came out and that was on 360. I'm thinking about getting back into TF2 but on PC this time. I never really followed the updates and changes, would it be hard to get into at this point? Anything else I should do besides join the GAF Community? Thanks in advance.
Fucking Amazing.:lol :lol
Had a fun game a couple days ago. Not only did I finally get one of the watches unlocked, but I had a bad ass moment while medicing a guy on badwater. Almost as soon as I hit my uber, a ton of enemies come from around a corner... including an uber pyro-medic combo.
Anyways, this smartass pyro separates me from my target and starts juggling me. I can't escape. He juggles me all the way up the stairs and into one of those houses. So I have 3 guys chasing me through the doorway just as my (and their) ubers wear off and I finally escape his juggle.
As soon as it does, I start firing the medic gun at this column. I'm not exactly sure what else killed them, but they all die and the screen lights up with 1 kill and 2 assist kills. I retreat to safety and type LOL.
Never witnessed such a backfire in my entire time of playing TF2.

I joined too late--barely made it in for the last round. We best do it again soon before Java III premieres.
Good games last night...somewhat. Our game fell apart on goldrush once that x.x clan left but we at least salvaged the last point to come out on top. I liked those guys, incessantly annoying to play against but they seemed nice, which is all that really matters.
Good to see GAFfers; their skins still yields nicely to bullets, chars nicely with a light crisp.

There isn't anyway to disable stats being shown is there?
I reset mine hoping it would fix the fubar'ed state of things not recording, and it didn't fix anything. So I reset again. Thought it was doing okay, but little while ago my game completely locked up and when I rebooted I lost 95 percent of my stats.
I wouldn't really care if I didn't have to stare at them while loading, or if I wasn't in a constant loop of setting new records because things won't stick.

Were civilian Snipers really crashing servers? I'd think people would hate them more if they did, but I've seen videos even recently where people just laugh them off.

So i finally had the chance to try out Team Fortress 2 during the weekend, the performance was pretty bad in my PC which i suspect is because of my lack of RAM (i have 512MB). Anyway even tough it didn't ran so well the game was awesome, i can definitely see why people play for many hours. Too bad i suck most of the time :lol
