I'm about to join in. Usually when I do this, it's empty by the time I login.
EDIT: And that's exactly what happened. Two people were playing. For some reason I got the rapid open/close TF2 crash the first two times I tried connecting. By the time I did, it was empty and nobody joined in the 5 minutes I was there.

I wish I could play right now, but I need to drive a hundred miles back home to pick up some stuff I forgot when I moved into my apartment for school. That stuff includes a mic so I can start talking in-game.Icy said:Nice. I'm idling waiting for peeps.
Are there cheats available for this game?
There was a spy I was dominating, but I'd have to light him on fire at close range for 2 seconds and then as he ran away, pump 4 shotgun blasts into his back before he'd go down.
This was on gravelpit and it happened at least 5 times. Everyone was quick to go down, but this spy was made of Teflon.
EDIT: It was spy. Took two seconds to collect my breath. And he'd always be camouflaged as a sniper, but be burning and invisible as he ran.

I still have no idea which class is for me. None of them just seem to click and i find myself switching classes depending on what map it is and if we are defending or attacking. I want to like the scout because its quick (i like quick shit) but i fail fail fail at it.

Try engineer. I was the same way at first but Im getting rather good at being engy. Once you are comfortable with him (know where to put SG's, etc) then branch out when your team needs help (like say, a scout to do a quick cap).
A tip with the scout on 2fort, double jump from the upper deck onto the bridges canopy, then do the same to get onto the enemies second floor. Then haul ass down the steps and grab the intelligence. Really easy unless they got some SG's at the top of the steps.

Soldier rockets definately seem to be faster than before.
Really liking the new pyro... it's going to be my main offense class now. I think I'll just wind up playing pyro/sniper mainly, except on maps where sniper sucks, and then I'll go play engineer. Engy is already my most played class, but the new pyro is definitely my favorite. Finally it's a really deadly class in close range and a very good anti-scout/spy/heavy/anyone they can sneak up on.

Yea i used to do that all the time with the scout. Especially if a sniper was up top, if you were able to get across and jump correctly you could just smack him around with the baseball bat. But as always with 2fort the SG's are in every corner which makes getting the intelligence a pain in the ass. It's why i hate 2fort with a major passion.
evlcookie said:
Amen. With a couple of players it's moderately tolerable. But a full load of players is just non-sense. Score to 3 or 4 or 5. And then do it again for a best of 3? I'd prefer that map with a score of 1 (if it has to be there.)
Although I wonder if a well coordinated team of a heavy and 8 medics on offense (and 3 engineers on defense) could work.
I actually headshotted/fully charged shot a few scouts trying to go across the roof on 2fort. But they were bad scouts... didn't even try to strafe any.
Anyway I just spent a couple hours learning the new pyro and god it's so fun. The flamethrower still does the most damage at close range, but now it's deadly from a lot larger range.

It was my first time playing at the NeoGAF server, good times. I love the new post-patch pyro and medic is also one of my favourite classes. Even though my ping from the europe is between 150-200ms it didn't affect the gameplay as much as I thought it would, very playable even at that ping rate. I'm looking forward playing with you guys again in the coming weekends
Ok so I have a bad issue here I need help.
My game crashed while I was trying to report a bug. I couldnt duck or anything, and a couple seconds later the game just crashed. After that all the textures were screwed up, with primary colors everywhere.
I un-installed TF2, and deleted the folder just to be sure. But when I reinstall it fresh I still get this. Anyone have this?

Uggh... I really need practice. My best use appears to be medic (or the occasional sniper).

At that yiff site, right?
I think I'm starting to jive the spy a little more. I still haven't picked a class to be 'my' class. I was good with Demoman until the grenade nerf, now I can't seem to kill anyone with them unless I get a direct hit (Which happens less often then I'd like, though very nice when it happens, especially with a scout)

every time I start TF2 now, it messes up my connection. It says I timed out and I can't do anything on the internet unless I reset my modem.
akachan ningen said:
That used to happen to me with counter-strike source if I let the server browser refresh for too long. Doesn't happen anymore, so it must've been some sort of conflict with my old wrt54g v4 with I think it was dd-wrt loaded. Right now I'm running a wrt54gl and no issues.

I'm not using a router though, it's going straight from modem to PC. Also, this never happened before the latest update. I would report the bug, but I can't stay online long enough to do it.

Maybe try deleting the ClientRegistry.blob in the steam folder.

its just some info for running steam. When u delete it, it resets steam and it creates a new one. It can solve connection issues.
Yeah, a disguised medic definitely doesn't have the Ubercharge box.1-D_FTW said:
And as far as general game balance goes... demo seems kind of weak now, but it's because pyro is more popular. Pyro is like the natural counter to demo and now that it's buffed you see some people sticking to demo and a lot more people playing pyro, so demo won't do as well most of the time.
Pyro is finally exactly like it sounds - a great ambusher/close range class that can make a lot of havoc in the enemy groups. It's still really vulnerable from range, dies to sentries pretty easily, and has plenty of weaknesses.

I usually disguise myself as an Engineer. It doesn't seem as suspicious when an Engineer is milling around not really fighting or healing anybody. Oh, don't mind me, I'm just heading down towards the Intelligence Room to put up a Sentry.
