NeoGAF Server: 68.232.178.184:27015
GAF TF2 group: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/Neogaf-TF2

Download custom maps for fun times:
Cashworks (44MB)

PC: unzip the .bsp -> ~Steam\steamapps\*username*\team fortress 2\tf\maps
Mac: unzip the .bsp -> ~\Documents\Steam Content\*username*\team fortress 2\tf\maps

Just a note on frontier: in the zip file the map is still zipped as a .bz2 file. You'll need to unzip that using 7zip or whatever your preferred archiving program is before putting it into your maps directory.

Eh... no one reads the OP nor the post with the server info for that matter. Someone should make an eye-catching banner to go along with the info.

300mb update

- Added "item_pickup" game event for ammo/health packs.

What does that mean? a timer for item respawns?
Click to expand...

Sounds like ammo/health kit pickups not appear in the combat log or something.

I saw the update and I thought, "ITEM TRADING POLYCOUNT PACK AMIRITE?!!11!" but now I'm just plain ol' disappointed especially since I don't understand half of what the update log says.

The GAF server is generally empty through out the day, but most nights fills up from like 8:30ish until 1am (EST).

# Reduced the ammo packs in the barns down to small ammo packs.
# Increased the hill speed modifier to 1.2 (up from .95)

They made it easier to get the cart up the ramp in Hightower.

Cool, i'll see you guys then.Are there any custom maps (besides the ones mentioned above) that you guys regularly play on?

I didn't notice any changes major or minor on upward. Once BLU caps the second point they can use the original red spawn for resupply. Has it always been that way? I've never actually bothered to check.

Don't worry, when Oatmeal shuts down the GAF server in 1-2 weeks, it will most likely cause people to go back to TF2 for a few days ;)

Yes, the highlander one. Somewhere in the old thread I claimed dibs to play with Twig, so I signed up for the team he's on.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
Yah. Never voting for hightower ever again.

We were turtled there for a good 15 mins or so? I took my break at 9:00 like I always do. Come back and am currently waiting to get in and I see that you guys are still in fucking hightower. Nearly 30 mins later.

Jesus christ.

Fun game. I actually kind of like stalemates (within limits, of course) because it forces you to try different strategies. Steamrolling or being steamrolled can be kind of mindless/

That hightower game was awesome. I don't know how we pulled that comeback off. Even before that we had a good game going until the server blew up. Doesn't matter though cause we all knew red was going to win.

So there are still a few more spaces on the highlander team. First come first to be served.

Highlander is a pretty fun mode--you could look at it as a better organized pub game. In highlander each team has 9 members--one for each class. With fewer players responsibility increases, and with only 1 person on each class you really need to play to that classes strengths.

It's pretty fun, here's a copy of my post asking people to sign up.

Alright now listen up! I'm a whore for TF2 items--that much is clear.

I've made a team for this highlander event for the sole purpose of procuring a medal I'll never wear.

I intend to play as few games as possible; I imagine I'll lose those few games. We won't practice, but by god we'll be organized enough to get to those matches on time.

The matches themselves will be fun, and we'll use mumble. TF2 voicechat hurts my beautiful ears.

If you want to join up I have maybe 5 or 6 slots open.

This team is named The Shit Eating Grins
http://etf2l.org/teams/10853/
(team name subject to change based on whether or not the word shit is allowed)
I don't know how exactly registration works; I'll figure that out as I go. The team is created, so if you want in get yourself registered on the website. http://etf2l.org/high/highlander-faq/
and post in the thread that you want on, and I should be able to add you, or you should be able to add yourself, we'll see.

The main point, again, is to acquire these medals. To do that we need a team and we have to show up for matches.

I think it will be great!

Yeah, when it happened I was pretty worried because my sentry was in the prime position and there was only like a minute or so left. I was thinking my buildings disappearing would give BLU the edge they needed to win.

It was pretty clear that we would've won any way.

At 3 am EST, there were 18 people on the server. There's still 10 on as of 4:13. What the deuce?

Edit: I should mention I didn't recognize any of them except Firebrand, but I think he was as confused as I was, lol.

I don't know, you guys were holding it pretty well from all angles. I gave up trying ubers and tried to spy cap it but usually there was a sentry covering both sides of the cart along with someone hanging out in the doorway behind the cart.

If the F7 Highlander team doesn't split into 2 teams (God knows we have 26 people right now that want in), I could drop and play Medic/Heavy for the GAF team.

I could do Eng or Medic but I've got to know the schedule before I commit. Things are crazy right now time wise.

I could play, should be able to make whatever games since I'm guessing they'll be based around EU timezone. Can play any class except engineer.

Although looking at the team page, how do I actually join? I've already made an account

ultimatum 0:1:24359408

this you?

after Ultimatum is added there will probably only be 1 spot left, so the next person to sign up and add themselves to the team or ask to be added gets it (most likely, anyway).


Java, matches will most likely be Sunday afternoonish. Shouldn't last more than an hour. And I doubt there will be more than 2 or 3 of them. I don't know if there's a preseason or something. 1 match would be ideal.
