I just realized it's free to play on steam. Downloaded, and I'm a newb, but I really enjoy it. So, anyone else play TF2? If the answer was no, then why not?
-
YES! I play it all the time! It's the greatest...
Want to meet up on some server or something?
-
Sure, but I'm a n00b. What's your favorite class? I don't have any weapons found for anyone but demoman, and I'm thinking of turning them into scrap, because I suck with demoman. I love being a spy. so fun to backstab people.
-
I'm good at Engineer, or Scout, but I try different classes when I feel like it. :P
I also like playing as Demoman with the sword and shield and special boots equipped, it's hilarious. But no ranged weapon slot left. it's like a new class, which is the whole point.
And I want to get better at Spy, it's cool to be a good spy. I've managed to run around like I'm a soldier guarding a capture point and gotten medics to heal me but it's hard to actually get behind them and stab them then.
AND I enjoy playing Engineer and hitting spies with my wrench.
-
The key to being a good spy (In my opinion) is this strategy:
- Do not go anywhere near who you are disguised as
- Use invisibility watch, disguise kit, and butterfly knife at the same time using this method: disguise, stab, invisible, hide, repeat until killed
- Have your teammates shoot at you
- Don't disguise yourself as heavy. It will make you slow. But being scout doesn't change your speed, which I imagine is a dead giveaway ( the worlds slowest scout)
aside from engineer, it's the most complicated class, which is why I like it.

Good idea, or bad idea: TF2D :P
-
If you're making it, it's always a good idea.
I've never played it, too busy and too poor.
-
I got TF2 when I bought the Orange Box. I played it a few times, but couldn't really get into it. It's just too fast and frantic for me. You don't hear people saying "I need backup", because it's a given that you're going to die in 10 seconds, and it doesn't matter because you'll just respawn. I never felt like anything I did ever mattered.
-
too poor.
There's no such thing as "Too poor" for a free to play game.
-
Bleh, takes time to play a game. Time costs money. Spending time = spending money. I'm too poor for free games.
-
im not into the new games iether, but circuit were you into duke3d back in the day? its on xbox live, i still play deathmatch once in a while, its so classic. theres more depth to the gameplay in that game than there is in any other newer game
-
I have it but haven't played it yet, I'm waiting for my friend who showed it to me to get his arm fixed. ;D
-

Not all of them were great but I like this one.

Yeah, and I still play it on OS X using EDuke32. I haven't played multiplayer yet though. I need to figure out how to do that, because it sounds like fun. 8)
-
I installed Duke Nukem 3D to run standalone on OSX. Forgot what that program was called...
Oh yeah and @ZOO: PM me your Steam name so I can at least friend you.

Wait, sombody's actually done this already? never mind.
-
Yeah and Gang Garrison 2 is FUN! It has a unique gameplay but still stays true to the classes and strategies from TF2. You should try it if you can...
Oh and I've been playing as Sniper now it's pretty entertaining. Some of these classes are almost like playing a different game!
-
Here's a couple times we won at Hightower, in rapid-screenshot-stop-motion. XD
You have to be by the bomb for it to move, and when it gets to the end you win and the bomb explodes. At Hightower the final push requires them to stay with it on an elevator. Hilarity ensues.
Naturally, the people pushing the bomb at the end of this particular map get launched across the map. It's just too fun and a satisfying way to win. And I got it to the end as Sniper. 8)

you should get it on xbox, using the controller is so much better. i get together with a group of people for dukematch once in a while, you can join us if you want. otherwise its hard to find matches on xbox live lately. im 59 on the dukematch leaderboards and 25 on the single player leaderboards, ive gotten every secret on every level on maximum difficulty
-
Bu Eq with a computer mouse you can aim so well! Like you can do a 180 degree turn and headshot someone without messin' with a joystick.
-
maybe with alot of practice, but it doesnt even matter cause theres no headshots in duke3d, and the auto-aim does most of the work for you. like in the stadium level, if you use the pistol you can be a mile away and as long as someone is near your crosshair every shot will hit, so even though the pistol is weak, it has the best accuracy. theres alot of stratagy and tricks in duke3d, theres also warp glitches(but thats a whole other story). i cant stay alive more than 10 seconds in modern FPS's cause of the head shots and the movement is so slow i cant dodge anything and theres no armor pick-ups, its so dumbed down. duke3d has armor, med-kit, and atomic health, you can have epic battles

I would join you, but I don't have an Xbox 360. Thanks for the offer though.
-
I don't have an xbox either. That's probably because I'm anti-microsoft, but they're expensive, and I don't have any real need for one. Mostly because the only xbox games you hear about (or at least I hear about) are remakes of old games, remakes of computer games, and call of duty (which I think the world could do without.)
-
If you get good enough at TF2 and you find a server with good players it can get pretty intense. Like there's people who are actually communicating and working like a team.
And then there's the Pyros who got the Phlogistinator which everyone says needs to be freaking nerfed. ::)
-
Hey Zoo you can bring up someone's Steam profile and join the server they are on!
And is Spiral Knights any good? I might try it out.
-
My brother plays on my steam account which becomes confusing for my friends, so if you're playing against me and I keep failing then assume you're playing against him, not me.
I don't think I have to tell you that spiral knights is good, considering that you started a topic on it. But Blocks That Matter (the demo of course, I don't buy games very often) is pretty entertaining.
-
I tried the demo of another indie title called "Edge" and I think I have to buy it now. :P
-
So many demos, so few mac demos.
-
That's why this game intrigues me, try out the demo. They got me to playing through levels twice already.
-
I got this epic freeze frame of a Sniper with a rocket exploding and it's just a cool angle and it's like it was planned, so... it's my awesome new icon.
-
I love how the pyro can start the snipers arrows on fire
-
NO WAY. O_O
-
Yeah, pyros are as useful as medics, they can put you out if you're on fire, they can light your arrows on fire.
-
What, how can you put people out? That's crazy... Is it the airblast?
EDIT: So you can use that to put people out. XD
Oh yeah, and once I was on a server and there was only maybe 4 people, and someone is on the voice chat saying "You guys want to play rocketball"? And I had no idea what he meant so they showed me...
You need two Pyros on opposite teams, and one Soldier. The pyros stand at a distance facing right at one another. The soldier fires a rocket and the Pyros have to push it back and forth with the airblast, until someone misses it too many times and blows up. It's just hilarious. And then the fourth guy came in and tried to win the capture points because he was annoyed at us. ;D
-
Yeah, the airblast puts flaming people out.
-
That is awesome!
-
wait, Kurt, you play TF2?
-
Oh yeah who here has a Steam account?
We should get eachother's Steam names, I'm connors72
-
EDIT: I should've given my profile name, not my username. It's "Mighty Mouse".
-
zoo804/wjk804 I don't know.
-
I found the wjk name, I think others only see the nickname not necessarily the username. You can change the nickname, like if you want something specifically TF2 related.
Like that heavy who was called Meatshield.
-
I just invited you both to be my friends on Steam. We should play TF2 sometime. I know I said I didn't like it before, but I think it's worth trying again. Maybe I'll feel different this time.
-
Is TF2 free? Maybe I'll get a steam account sometime...
-
Yeah, it's free. It used to cost money, but last June they made it free.
-
Oops
sorry circuit. I accidentally ignored the request because I didn't see your post. Thought you were some kind of creeper. Re send it, please.
-
Heh. What is it about my profile that seems creepy? ;D
