Post your tag here if you haven't done it already. We're trying to get a few games organized for this week on XBL.Hammer said:
I did that years ago.JoeFu said:
I haven't finished Half-Life 2, though. Mainly because I was never interested in Steam until the release of The Orange Box. The platform is a lot more mature than it was back when HL2 was new and it's fine to use it now.
I did finish Portal in one night, and plan to play through all of HL2 including the newer Episodes sometime before the end of the year... if I can ever pull myself away from Team Fortress 2 and WoW.

Im game. GT=Zen Warrior24 (pacific time). Usually on from 6pm-9pm. I've played a few matches with some gaffers, but the lag was pretty bad. Glad to hear a patch is coming. Any word on new maps/game modes?

Will they be all team based, or will they create some 1v1 dm maps/modes? Im hoping that if the ps3 gets some of these mods(if they do) that pc users get, that it'll trickle down to the 360 for free.

There is apparently a Direct x8.0 hack you can do to make it run better on computers with older video cards. My friend got it to work on a laptop that before couldn't properly run the game.YakiSOBA said:sucks for my roomate, it turns out his video card just isnt good enough to run the game.. integrated intel 965 chipset on his laptop :S he sees me play all day and he's tried it a few times on my computer.. feel sorry for the guy haha, what a tease
Cheeto, no time to play Episode 2. TF2 needs you.

on the 360 you will see official modes/maps/mods/etc from Valve due to MS's control.
PS3 should be able to run the mods developed for the PC version, as well as maps. Sony really doesn't care. But we won't know for sure until its released.
The old TF 1.5 had a soldier map/mod for just solider duels. But you won't see that on the 360.

Yes, a melee only round... *BONK*
I know, I was saying maps that are made for fist fights, like a 10x10 room full of heavies. That would be awesome.Icy said:Well thats not map controlled. Thats server controlled. The guy who makes my admin mod is working on that as well.
Everything from invisible models (weapons only seen) to class only rounds and other stuff.
I tried getting in a game with JoeFu, but you'd just left when I joined.
Was just playing a game on granary and I wanted to strangle the medic. We've captured CP 4 and I'm literally down to 1 health point. So I'm running behind this dude screaming medic and a couple of times I run right through his path. So he starts following his soldier up the stairs (and again, the area's been cleaned out) and I start shooting rockets at him. The splash damage finally killed me. Duh! WTF.

I finally got around to giving the spy a proper go. damn it's fun 14kills without dying (7 in each round) 52points in one round, amazed how simple it can be to get behind everyone. heavy weapon guys and their medic friends are tasty.

I got accused of "wallhacking" because I was up in the rafters at point A on gravelpit raining down grenades on attackers. :lol

Uggh I'm always the first one to die. My K/D Ratio is atrocious so I'm always gonna be ranked low. The only thing I'm proud of is more kill assists and ubercharge deployment than you Pillow :lolPillowKnight said:I was just looking through my screenshots and I found this, I present to you the puyo effect :

Damn. They don't make them in ultra fat bastard size. Guess I'll have to go on that weightloss program now to wear their shirts.

Some random kid, I didn't recognize him.
If you don't know where I mean it's inside the shack at A, you can nade/rocket jump up onto a little lip near the top. The dude was spinning around trying to figure out where I was shooting him from.

Someone mentioned it (thanks Campster!) in the portal thread and it has enormously reduced the number of crashes/reboots I've been getting after one of the official patches. (The anti-block of door one I think)
Just right click on the game, click "properties", click "set launch options" and type -dxlevel 80. You can confirm that it took effect in the advanced video properties in game. Also I've noticed that the advanced video settings keep moving back to the recommended which are much too high for my system. He may want to double check those before launching a map. Is his crashing at the end of the map loading?
That was a fun game I just had against Hitokage. Awesome medic trailing me a lot on that level too.
But the overtime victory was kind of cheap. We had Hitokage's team beaten, and their lone remaining fatty got behind a locked area and we had to dick around for a minute before he was finally killed.
Just venting. I'm not sure who it was. Besides, I've screwed a medic a couple of times, too. Karmic justice.

Hitokage said:My team was clearly outclassed. Most of the blue team had 50-70 points while everyone on my team but me was no higher than the mid 40s. I had 60 something points by the time I left.
Died a lot more than I normally do now.
I think you inherited some of my teammates from the previous map. Just was there for the end of it. But we were doing fairly well. We had fairly decent control of the center CP on granary. Then the phone rang and I came back two minutes later and you guys had captured it and built 2 or 3 sentries in the area. I couldn't believe what a fortress it'd become in 2 minutes.
Hitokage said:...which is what you'd be doing if you followed his advice.
So am I to understand this is the Online matchup thread, but only for the steam version?
Sorry, but I don't see what your getting at here. We use the Halo matchup thread quite often to see whats up for the evening, as not everyone has tons of room on their friends lists for all the Gafers playing (3/4 of my friends list is co-workers and friends). My fault for assuming the same applied here.
Oh Granary. I thought you meant Well... in which the only thing we managed to do was not let the final point get taken. Yeah we managed to push back, but then the rest of the team decided they'd play not-to-lose on the center cap point.
Hammer: This thread is PC-centric, yes.

PC-Centric, or PC-Specific?
If it is centric as you state, I feel my post was in good taste.
And yes, I did notice the heavy PC vibe... how could I not. However, this was a multi platform release, and I saw no differentiation in the title.
Sorry, I really don't mean to come off as an ass. I just like to know why I'm being chastised. =D
