RNG stands for random number generator.

Yeah, I was getting that a lot too. Low and behold, exited out of TF2, it updated for half a second, and everything worked fine. Maybe the servers you were playing at didn't update either.
Speaking of servers, I have one, but people don't seem to care for downloading maps directly from the server itself. Any advice on cheap/good web hosting? Also, hooray for my first post on GAF after waiting for almost half a year :lol
Just started getting into TF2 for the first time in a really long time (havent played since launch)...really great and I applaud Valve for their most controversial update, the random weapon drops....while short term it may have seemed like crap, but in one fell swoop it got rid of achievement servers and choosing classes just to get the new content as fast as possible, making the game much more enjoyable then what I have heard about in the past

Sounds like they're going to be adding king of the hill mode for soldier update.

Yeah. At first I wondered why the game was so popular, but when you learn the classes it's so much fun and versatile. It's like playing different games playing different classes. Right now I love medic, engineer and sometimes scout.
That's the best part about it, going through phases of class choice preferences. I haven't touched it in a few weeks but before I stopped I was back onto Medic like something fierce. If it wasn't Medic, I was Demo. There were even phases when I was exclusively Soldier and Spy, two classes that I never really used before but stuck to them like glue for awhile and eventually everything fit.Sniper McBlaze said:
The only class I can never get into is Sniper, which is ironic since back in my BF1942 days I had a rep for being a pain in the arse with Sniper. I suppose the style Valve chose for it never gelled for me.
The worst thing about having these long breaks is when I do get a chance to jump back in and play, I'm going to feel like a scrub again for the first few maps :lol

Kinda? Cheeto sometimes has his server up but most people just play on f7 or cxg.Fixed1979 said:
Ya, team fortress 2 is probably my favorite game of all time now. It's up there at least.
The sheer variety in the game is just astounding. It wasn't until I realized just how many possibilities the game offered did I start to really appreciate what Valve had made.
It's kind of odd (this is getting at what speedpop said), because when I first started playing I really loved playing Soldier. However, after a few months I found that I really liked demo. Same thing happened a few months later when I started playing scout. Scout has got to be my favorite class, however it definitely has a learning curve like Ikuu said. You need to use your speed as an advantage, as well as have good accuracy. It seems like there are good classes to play that get you into the motions of the game, but after a while you'll definitely start experimenting and finding a class that suits your play style better.

Some custom hats, there's an email in the post from Valve saying that they love them, and some of them are identical to the ones that they've been working on. I've still to find a single one
At the moment I'm mainly playing Soldier, love tricking people into thinking you're out of rockets in long corridors, so they start to chase and you just switch to rockets and blow them away, got a heavy and medic combo with this last night.

I'm trying to get back into my TF2 phase again, hit me up on Steam if you want to play. Same handle as here.
i recently got this game and have been loving it. My favorite map would be Dustbowl, but the thing is, I've been getting knida burned out on it. In fact, I'm kinda burned on all of them so much that I'm considering playing on 2Fort. But i figured I try something fresh play some custom maps.
So my question is, what are some good custom maps and what servers are they played on?

PL_Frontier is hilarious but a little bit buggy and unbalanced. Instead of a bomb on a cart, it's a GIANT locomotive with a platform to stand on. The end of the map is a "rickety" elevated track where the train drives off of a cliff to blow up a sunken satellite dish.
PL_Cashworks is a well made PL map that I wouldn't be surprised if it showed up eventually as a valve release.
CP_warpath and cp_lazytown are control maps that tend to drag on, and usually take a coordinated push to win but can be very fun if people work together.
Okay, so I was dead wrong about Dead Ringer, The first time I unlocked it I thought it was shit. I much preferred Cloak & Dagger, because it was awesome to see people doing things and informing my team, then spamming some kills in a small area and make the enemy team paranoic.
However, after trying Dead Ringer some more I can say I'm in love with it. No more heroic deaths that end well before they become heroic. Now you can go against the bunch of the rival team, atempt your stab, stab one or two people before they realise, activate the damn clock and make them believe you're dead just before you uncloak in a nearby place and attack against.
Today I beat my former record, with 26 points. Not much you'll say, but it's my second best score (being the first 30 with the engie).

Well at least when GAF games do get going there aren't any randoms joining.

Absolutely! Such an amazing game... I'm almost ashamed to say this, but I haven't even finished HL2 even though I never played it before.Helmholtz said:
Every class has an awesome personality and every single one of them is fun to play (even though I'm the world's worst spy/demo). There's always one fit for my mood. When I'm angry, kamikaze Pyro is great.
Just seen this thread, have myself been addicted to TF2 for the last year or so, amazing amazing game.
Mostly play spy nowadays, its the class I get most enjoyment out of, and I like playing medic and heavy too
So is there a server where everyone here plays or anything? Wouldn't mind meeting up with some of ye folk, have been mostly playing on the same server for the last year more or less.

Why would you do that?

Hm, I didn't know this thread existed. My "lurker mentality" makes me not really check the Online forum...
Anyhow, yes, I love Team Fortress 2, while it isn't my favorite FPS ever, it is up there. I tend to mostly play as the Sniper and... um, the name evades me, but the guy with the rocket launcher... and sometimes the Scout and Heavy.
I'm not too experienced when playing FPS's in general, so if any were to play against me, I probably wouldn't be too big of an asset :lol but it's all in good fun, I think.
My favorite modes are Arena and Payload (not the new Payload Race).
I haven't played the game for very long, so there are a ton of things about it that I am confused about, like how to unlock new items for your characters.

the spy fedora is like the best hat of the ones I've seen, too. The pyro beanie looks dumb and the scout helmet makes him look retarded (mostly it's just that it's too shiny), and a lot of the other helmets are barely noticable over the standard hats some classes wear (soldier/sniper especially).
Won said:
Around 2 weeks after the update for hats came out the spy hat randomly dropped for me while I was playing, delighted as its my main class and all I wanted hatwise
If people really need hats that badly just use the TF2 fake idle program, few of my mates used it to get most of the hats ages ago.
