I still need;

Everything on page 5 of my backpack and the crates on page 4 are up for trade.

I wish tf2b listed item effects when you highlight them though.

6 (one of them was a facestab though)

Edit: just checked your stats on Steam... now I feel kinda embarrassed in comparison...

My record is 3... so don't feel too bad!

 

[Wolf Akela]

Steam stats are never accurate. Just look at mine.

.

A second one just dropped for me. (Page 6) Seeing that I was going to craft it into scrap, you can have it for either an engy or an other heavy weapon if you still need it.

 

[ArtistDude88]

Man, it feels good playing TF2 again! Just wish the server would insta-fill to max like it use to! I will beat it into ya'll to join immediately with my nightly announcements

- Brass Beast
- Warrior's Spirit
- Crusader's Crossbow

I also need these! And that Medic saw... Amputator I think it was. Oh and also the Heavy's Steak... Boy I'm missing more than I thought I was, lol.

 

[cooljeanius]

Eh dont be, a 6 backstab streak is very respectable. How long have you been playing anyway?

First started playing with the free weekend for the Mac Update, then Schmattakopf sent me a play pass around the Engineer Update, then I finally bought it for myself when it went on sale for the Mannconomy Update. Steam says I've played 376 hours...

I got a spare Warrior's Spirit. I had 4 more but I traded them all too! I got lucky with them.

Edit: Link.

Just noticed this on the Wiki:

Source Engine Changes (CS:S, DoD:S, TF2, HL2M)
Fixed another server crash exploit caused by malformed network packets

Team Fortress 2
Added three new community maps:

• Koth_Lakeside
• PL_Frontier
• PLR_Nightfall

Steam's taking a while to update the client, not sure why.

 

[corn_fest]

we should have a new map night to celebrate

edit: official website page - Community Map Pack

 

[Forkball]

Fuck yes, new maps.

http://www.teamfortress.com/communitymappack/

Frontier looks really interesting.

 

[Drkirby]

Yay new Maps!

Now where is my patch?

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Nice! TF2 hasn't updated yet though.

 

[Clydefrog]

Frontier? Is that the map with Little Chew Chew?

I've been playing that map forever!

 

[Bluth54]

Frontier looks really interesting.

Yeah of those 3 maps the only one I've played before they were made official was Frontier and it's a lot of fun. The cart on frontier is particularity neat.

And a quick hint to those who haven't played it before: don't stand in front of it when it's moving.

 

[Remy]

Server is updating.

EDIT: Back up!

 

[cooljeanius]

Frontier was included as an official release before Cashworks? And what are these other two?

 

[Nabs]

Lets get on the server

 

[BloodySinner]

So I played Frontier. It's not a new map. I played it over a year and a half ago.

EDIT: Seems to be the case for many other GAF users here as well.

 

[Twig]

Frontier and Nightfall are both pretty old.

Never heard of Lakeside before, but it's probably in the same boat. People don't play KOTH as much, is probably why I've never seen it.

 

[Iadien]

Frontier? Is that the map with Little Chew Chew?

Yep, the map is ancient.

 

[Wolf Akela]

A lot of people here are forgetting the "community" part of the community map update.

 

[Blizzard]

I like lakeside. I like the graphical theme and it seems like a decent KOTH map. Frontier is decent as long as the hill of death isn't a problem...I noticed some walls and halls got moved around a bit. I also noticed it looks like the train was made lower-poly, so presumably it won't kill people's framerate as much.

I'm not sure about nightfall. It didn't strike me as especially awesome or terrible I guess.

 

[Twig]

I am not sure how you came to this conclusion.

"Community" doesn't negate the possibility of new maps. There've been past community maps that were much younger in their lifespan than these are.

P.S. Are you a furry or is your name/avatar an ultimate trolling technique.

P.P.S. Seriously, I can't not think that. It's just impossible.

P.P.P.S. Yes, I'm judging you!

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

I had to quit, I have to get up early and I'm waaaaay past my sleep time. I think I did pretty good as a Sniper, at least I didn't get dominated once!

 

[Wolf Akela]

Which community maps were introduced into the official rotation brand new? Lots of them got into the official rotation due to sheer popularity. Only one I can remember being brand were the event maps. Still, don't expect community map updates to always be new.

I'm not a furry. I find anthromorphic drawings downright disturbing. I do like animal characters a lot though.

I dunno if any were BRAND NEW, but I think a couple were a few months old. Frontier's been around for over a year, easily. I don't think anyone's really complaining, though. Just commenting.

YOUR REPUTATION IS SAFE.

Animal characters are boss. It's a shame furries seem to love ruining that shit. J:

 

[Forkball]

I played Frontier and Nightfall on the GAF server tonight. Can't say much about Frontier since I only played for a few minutes. I'm surprised the cart is so big though. While I normally dislike PLR, Nightfall is pretty interesting. There are a lot of alternate paths, which make playing as a Pyro or Spy a lot of fun.

More maps is the one type of big update I want to see most. New items and hats are great and all, but they've introduced so many of them in the past few months that I'd like to see them shift back towards making (or uh, taking from the community) unique and innovative maps.

 

[Drkirby]

WARTIME!

 

[jambo]

Eating your collar there?

 

[Instro]

Nice new maps, Ill check them out tonight.

 

[cooljeanius]

I think the achievement for getting 3 dominations in a life as Soldier is glitched for me, because I did that tonight but didn't get the achievement... or does it not check for dominations until you die? That would make sense, as 2 of them got revenge on me simultaneously to end my streak...

 

[DogWelder]

Kirby you should be ashamed of yourself for continuing to use a trackball mouse. You have plateaued at a very low level because of that thing.

 

[Cipherr]

6 (one of them was a facestab though)

Edit: just checked your stats on Steam... now I feel kinda embarrassed in comparison...

How can you check and see how many youve gotten in one life? I lost track once I stopped getting close to my backstab record and that box stopped popping up when I died.

 

[ArtistDude88]

I think I'm going to start playing Spy more again, get my mojo back that I had long ago. So watch your backs! There might be a failspy behind you!

 

[BloodySinner]

By the way, was there a graphical update recently? I noticed the overall color tone has been darkened but special effects such as flames or medic healing auras have been brightened?

I thought the pyro's flame looked slightly different than usual, figured it was just my imagination. Was on the GAF server earlier, good group was on although I didnt recognize any of them. There was this weird foreign kid with a really bad accent yelling about America or something, strange as fuck lol.

I gave him endless crap for it...but hey, if he's happy.....XD

Meh, he plays nothing but pyro anyway.

 

[Erasus]

Cool with new maps!

I'm so glad we don't have to unlock them with keys

I miss when airblasting was a serious judgment call whether it was worth the impact on your ammo. Get anywhere near a Pyro now and they start puff-spamming until one of them catches you, and from then they pretty much control the fight.

Something that wasn't noted in the previous patch's notes (the one before last), according to the wiki:

Undocumented changes
Several particle effects, including unusual hats, teleporters, and Medi Gun beams, were updated. Others include Flamethrower Fire and Critical Rocket/Pipe/Stickies. These changes do not apply to ATi graphics card users and some others.
Several UIs were updated, including the scoreboard, kill notifications, and the server browser.

Pyros, as a primarily close-range class, tend to be stronger at close range than at long range. You may wish to engage them from long range where they cannot puff you in the air. ;p

I miss when afterburn actually mattered.

Alright, I haven't played this game much since August. I tried playing it whenever I went home during breaks but all this new items stuff and the trading kinda turned me off of it. Now I wanna jump back in it but my schools internet doesnt allow for gaming online due to the huge lag. Is there a way I can go about making a game of just bots and myself so I can at least play?

I think I'm going to start playing Spy more again

mother of god.

Also what's with this crap of Java playing on the server and not saying anything. I don't know which color bastards to kill.
