[TF2] It's MANN Vs. Machine!

[Jaziek]

Does anybody know a way to legally try this for free? I want to try it for a little bit before I buy it, and to see if it runs on my piece of garbage called my computer.

 

The only way would be to just wait until theres another free weekend. They usually happen around the time a new update is released. I don't know how long thats gonna be though.

Ok then. I'm waiting for Steam to come to MAC anyway. My MAC computer is way better than my PC.

Oh wow.

[Giordano]

That was pretty damn awesome.

[Orpheus]

Yeah, I wouldn't think you could combine Shin Megami Tensei and Team Fortress 2, but I guess I've been proven wrong. And it's pretty damn awesome.

I have the Orange Box on Xbox and I was wondering how outdated it is? The OB is old and I juststarted playing TF2 again. I like it, however when I read this thread people talk about hats, etc. and I have no idea what they are? So how old is the Xbox version and do they ever update it?

[Furah]

The Xbox version can't get updated, the 360 just doesn't have enough RAM, it struggles running it as it is.

The Hound Dog hat for Heavy IS HARLIOUS! I want one so badly! :mrgreen:

This bundled with Garry's Mod or a used DS on eBay?

[Orpheus]

So, uh. For a final project in my English class, I have to pick a topic of my own choosing, and argue my position. I want to use TF2 to help illustrate my point, and I chose the topic of piracy. Is there a way to set up cpu characters or something to do actions for me? I've got about three weeks to do this.

Started playing again; I'm pretty suck right now, but I'm getting better every time I play. Picked up soldier within two rounds on 2fort and that's what I'm playing now. Never really thought about it before, but this game really suits me to a point.

 

http://steamcommunity.com/id/Ruerin this is my Steam if you want to add me. I don't sleep much so if I'm on, I might be up for a game.

I cannot play Soldier for the life of me.

Well most people have a really predictable movement pattern (or they're dumb and run right into your line of fire) and not to mention most players will always take the same path to wherever your team is. It's mostly about reacting before a] they start shooting or b] they notice you or c] they move past you and take you out from the side or behind. You're slow and your weapon takes ages to reload, so aim carefully. Also it's good to know when to switch to the shotgun - people who wait to reload their rockets in combat are silly; in the time it took you to do that, you could've switched to the shotgun and actually been of use to your team. I thought that was just basic instinct and common sense in all FPS games, team-based or not, but I guess I was wrong. The Direct Hit is apparently faster but it has a pretty big drawback of almost no splash so it probably wouldn't be so useful to me. I'll try it when I get it.

 

Oh and yeah, if your connection latency is high (and by that, I mean above 150ms) you'd be better suited to playing another class anyway. Not that you can't play soldier still, but don't expect to be good at it. Personally, I found it to be the easiest class to pick up and so did most of my TF2-playing friends but yeah, the format of soldier isn't for everyone. Good that you play medic though, there's never ever enough of those; especially not when I need one.

I'm one of the better medics as well, but the only pet peeve I have is if people whine constantly for a medic. I keep a priority list, and if I can't heal guy x for some reason, I can't heal him.

People don't understand this, so they complain about me. Honestly, it just puts them down further on the list because I would rather heal someone that is not an idiot.

I think i've posted this before, but this is one of the best soldier guides if you want to learn how to get better at the class.

Indeed.

[Maze]

The new update is pretty good, but I do think the heavy is a little overpowered.

 

But the new map, Freight, is incredibly awesome. Definitely going to play it for a little while.

[Giordano]

They made Frieght an official map? Cool, I love that map.

 

What updates did Heavy get?

[H2PM]

Theres an awesome engi glitch going around, it allows you to spawn ridiculous amount of sentries and dispensers.

I haven't been able to play it yet (all the time I set aside for dling is currently going to CoD:4) but my mate has said they've nerfed the pyro. Really has upset me. :cry:

[Orpheus]

The sentry glitch's been patched. It involved the build command in the console, and it's awesome to build 15 sentries in front of the enemy base :D

They nerfed W+M1 Pyro, buffed skilled pyros. The airblast has a faster rate of fire and uses less ammo. But the fire does less damage and has a shorter afterburn.
