Team Fortress 2 - The Official Discussion Thread

Well, I got my medal and am having tons of fun with this update. The best thing about this is quite obviously the humiliation round animations; don't let anyone try and fool you and say this isn't the best part of the update. :)

Haven't played Offblast or CTF_Sawmill yet. KOTH is... okay. The announcer glitch is annoying, and it feels like I would of imagined from playing KOTH_Lighthouse pre release. Viaduct is too friendly to snipers, from what I have seen, but KOTH_Sawmill was playable! No clue about Nucleus.

So yeah. New sandman seems okay now, but I still wont use it. Those scouts are like a free one shot kill! Without the stun getting rid of Rev it's actually fine to play heavy with so many Sandman weilding scouts.
 
Demoman sticky fix broke rockets. koth_nucleus suffers from the same problem that arena_nucleus did, scouts rule as health is at most 2 jumps away anywhere on the map.

What I have played of the new update is awesome. King of the Hill is tons of fun, and I can see myself playing it for long, long time. However, there are a few bugs that I have experienced, the most noticeable is that I can't change the model detail/quality setting in the Video options menu. Its stuck at High, and it refuses to change. This causes an "OS Page Pool Low" warning which leads to graphical errors and game crashes :( Hopefully its something that I can fix myself, and not an error and that needs to be patched.

And I do love me some new hats :)

Try deleting some stuff in the hard drive and defragementing it in order to increase page pool memory.
 
I got my new PC up and running a little while ago and goddamn this game looks amazing with everything set to high and 16x AA / AF. Used to play on a laptop with everything set to low and no AA.
 
While I could turn everything up, I used m0re's highfps thing, and I like my 200 fps. Also new sandman sucks, as a rocket, nade, sticky, or meatshot will instagib.
 
To be quite honest, I think the tradeoff between the default and the Sandman is a much better one now.

Also, the broken rockets really blows. First the Sticky Jumps being way too far, and now Rocket Jumps send you less distance (though less damage, too).

Resum, wanna try to organize something today? I wonder if people are still willing to do scrims with the nerfed RJs, as people on the forums made a huge deal about it.
 
Alrighty.

Rocket jumping is fixed, and First Blood/CTF Cap have CVARs.

Now, if Valve could fix the Grenade Launcher bug they've created, we'd be all set.

Er, after 60fps everything is basically moot. I actually force mine to stay at 60fps with vsync to get rid of the tearing. Triple Buffering was giving me a slight delay so I stuck with vanilla vsync.
 
Cool, I finally got this working on my machine after discovering that my brother rendered our old copy of TF2 basically useless thanks to a 'skin' that got his account vacbanned.

Anyway, looking forward to playing with you guys. I'll be on the server in a couple of minutes if you all are already there >:D

I can't play with vsync, the input delay is noticeable for me.

60FPS is most likely the maximum refresh rate of your monitor anyways.

It is impossible to get vacbanned by installing custom skins.
 
Also I play on a CRT, so my refresh rate is quite a bit higher than 60. And since school has started for me, you guys might have to organize scrims without me until the second semester, as by then i'll be in college and not give a shit.

apparently there was a backdoor in the code that allowed some type of workaround that VAC picked up on.

out of curiosity, is there some type of IRC channel that we've created yet? i'd be all for making one if we don't have one just yet.
 
I've been playing TF2 since around the beginning of summer, and it's a lot of fun even though I'm still really bad at the game! I've played mostly Medic and Demoman, although now I play a bit of just about every class (I rarely play Heavy though, and although I play Sniper I generally get nothing done because my aim sucks; I only recently set my record of 2 headshots, and I'm pretty sure one of them was an accident). Anyways, I'd like to play on the Smogon server although I probably won't be playing any scrimmages or comp matches, at least for now.
 
Oh wow, Smogon has its own little TF2 community? Sweet!!
I've been playing TF2 since June 2008. Logged in 100+ hrs as Spy, Demoman, Medic and Engie each so far...around 60-70 hrs in each of the other classes. So yes, I've played the hell out of this game and it still doesn't get old....

Best value-for-money game out there, imo the best multiplayer game in the world. A friend from CoD4: MW recommended it and I tried it out and was totally blown away. I'll be playing this for atleast 1-2 more years (especially since the Soldier, Engie and Demo updates are still-to-come).
Spy is my most played class with 145 hrs. I'm pretty good, I'd say.
The servers I play on most are The Drunken Brawl, OSF, TAC, TA, TWM and RT.

Also, I enjoy the game because its such an easy pick-up-and-play game and a great entertainment solution whenever necessary. Thats why I don't want to get involved in the competitive scene. I prefer the "teamwork-pubs". :P
 
Oi boyos, lets get some more scrims in. I'm almost moved into my new place and hopefully I'll have everything set up by then.

The other people that are starting to post in the thread, add existing members Steam accounts found in the other thread on Int. Renn. We wanna play with you guys and start getting a legit team going.
 
so im finally done with fallout 3 (i take full responsibility for the 53.9 hours on the group page x)), lets get this shit going again

i propose a 6 vs 6 scrim tommorow (tuesday) at 8pm GMT, im gonna set up an announcement in the group in the hopes that you guys will see this!
 
I will try to make it to the 8 PM GMT scrim tomorrow, my last class on Tuesday ends 30 minutes beforehand so that should give me enough time to get back to play with you guys. My schedule isn't finalized yet but it's looking like Mondays may be my best days to play.
 
lets sort out teams beforehand too, so if any of you guys want to join in, we can try and keep them fair

ill be playing scout, and starting as red whenever we start a new map
 
Stoo, you still need to PM me your Steam ID so I can add you to the SM admin list. type status in console to see it.
 
I'm going to be out since the only class I actually play well is the Spy, so i'm only going to be up for 8 v. 8 or 9 v. 9 highlander.

Do you guys have a SourceTV up for this so I can watch the game?
