I think 4 hours of straight playing is enough for now.
I still am really bad, but it is fun.

Some good games tonight.
That isn't like an official clantag, is it? I'm always wondering which of the players are GAFfers, using that tag might helpIcy said:there's quite a bit of GAF players on them. Quite a few do not use their GAF forum name either.
Me and SCG are using :[NeoGAF]: Before our names

"Probably talked about, but I've noticed someones figured out how to get past the invisible wall in the Train node level with Soldiers. Such a bitch now."
? What invisible wall?
? What invisible wall?
The "invisible wall" is above the train carriages surrounding the middle node point.
Before some people had found that there is a small gap between the carriage which you can shoot a rocket through, or underneath, but I believe I saw a Soldier of the other team somehow make it through to the other side before the countdown had begun.

I'm curious, because now that you've mentioned it, I do wonder if you couldn't just rocket launch to the top of the building.
Still, it takes a long time for the soldier to huff it all the way there and I'm not sure you wouldn't be better off buffing the medic's uber-charge.
P.S. Finally added an avatar. It's an Elmer Fudd - Bugs Bunny shot that I hope works at such small sizes.

Mine killed my fps, dropped it into the teens when normally it's around 30. It also seemed kind of cramped, especially for a full server.

Icy, do you have the links to the new maps put on the server?
Some of the new maps have external mateirals that need downloaded.
The server now doens't let you download maps from the game server (too damned slow)
Instead it connects to my fast ass webserver and you get it compressed from there, so just a few minutes to download
Was that the reason for my ban? I think I downloaded stuff from the game server before itIcy said:Some of the new maps have external mateirals that need downloaded.

Yo in gravel pit as the caputring team after capping one site, is it fair game to spawn camp C? I did that against armitage yesterday and like dinked him three times in a row. It felt kinda cheesy and boring, especially given the new 4 sec timer. WHAT SAY YOU GAFFOTS? I believe its a valid strat. and probably should be employed in stalemates but it is kinda redundant.

I just pist some guy off.. its 2 blue engies + 1 soldier versis 2 red engines and a solider .
The red guys were trying to move forward while the blue soldier was just camping wherever. so I ported his ass after the move your ass center screen wanring of which he died a few seconds later, threw a fit and d/c'd himself.
Icy, I hate to complain, but could you please remove the class limits? They really have almost no effect at forcing a team to be balanced; people can still play scout on defense, have multiple heavies with no medics, etc.
All it does is stop people from switching to a more useful class than what they started the round with. It gets really frustrating when an important class like the spy is being hogged by people who just want to run around backstabbing, when there are unattended sentries and teleporters that need to be sapped. There are also plenty of people who only just got the game, and I'd feel like a total ass if I told someone new that they need to switch classes to make room for someone useful.
If you don't want to remove the limits entirely, then at least make them equal across the board instead of unfairly limiting certain classes.
:lol I always hate sudden death, but it's especially bad as an engineer. I normally try to play a different class.

I actually am really starting to like Engineer now, in the last few games I just played as one and I like supporting others but am not as weak as the Medic.
but I hate spies now, I always take my time building a upgraded sentry only to have it be zapped by one of those bastards.

Can someone tell me why I have such a high ping on the NeoGAF servers? It's always like 190 or even more, when I test my ping it's usually between 20-50... Some days ago it was much lower, it's weird. I want to play on the GAF server, but I won't because I don't want to lag the other players to hell. Am I only able to play on European servers???

TF2 seems to be very forgiving of higher pings.
After Hitokage alerted me to a player via the stats of cheating and reviewing the log..
found an additionlal 6 suspects of cheating.. banned and removed from stats. If you see anything even fishy let me know via PM and I'll look into it. ALL actions,etc are timestamped and logged, logs are kept on HLstats for 28 days and server logs for 2 weeks =)

The freeze frame isn't always the exact moment you got killed. Its right at that moment or a few seconds after. So there's always the possibility of the plahing running for cover.. or as you said, Cheating.
But like I said.. something fishy.. PM via Steam or here on the forums, their steam id name, and around what time it happened. and I"ll look into it.
I like the GAF servers a lot, but I don't like the class limits... well, I guess it only affects me because I play pyro.
I definitely played on a server before where it felt like everyone on blu was cheating. Red (my team) stank, but still, they were literally at the capture point when we would be getting out of our spawn... and it was all people with the same clan tag.

I won't play on GAF server 'till I get better at the game. Seems so far I'm best as Sniper, Engineer, Heavy, and Demoman. I think those are all the noob classes though. Spies are definitely my least favorite class. I think 60% of my deaths were from spies in the 4-5 hours I played.
