I'm really thinking about getting this, but I'm not sure if my computer will be able to handle it. I'm running an old ass computer with a 1.8GHz processor, an Nvidia Quadro 4, and 1gig ram. Think that'll be okay?

I don't know but here's the mininmum specs:

Minimum: 1.7 GHz Processor, 512MB RAM, DirectX® 8 level Graphics Card, Windows® Vista/XP/2000, Mouse, Keyboard, Internet Connection

Recommended: Pentium 4 processor (3.0GHz, or better), 1GB RAM, DirectX® 9 level Graphics Card, Windows® Vista/XP/2000, Mouse, Keyboard, Internet Connection

hopefully we'll see you on.

Oh yea TF2 all the way! I had prepurchased the orange box so I played during the open Beta. I will definatly drop by sometime! :thumbsup:

Decided to go ahead and get it. My friend said I should run it just fine. I'll be joining you guys soon.

Seems my microphone ain't working! =(

I was in last night as DOOMTRAIN.

I'm confused by the Steam friend thing. I tried to add one of my friends but it said unable to find him. Does he have to be logged on? And do I add his steam account name?

yeah it was a bit on the windy side from you... :)

Doesn't need to be logged on, but does need to be the right registered name. Try his email address.

I did see you online last night. You fragged me plenty of times!

Can I join the group too? I've already got a domination on the group admin...:thumbsup:

:mutters: yeah yeah yeah

There are 2 community members named "Doomtrain" - one with a pic that looks like Clint Eastwood, one with a pic that looks sorta like Nicole Kidman...are either of those you? If so which, we'll invite you to the TFP group and get some group fragging going :thumbsup:

I am neither of those. I just now set up the my steamid thing...I think. I don't have a pic on there.

Those USG guys last night are why I don't want to be in a clan - I'll get my ass kicked. I'm moderate at TF2; my reflexes aren't what they were in college and I don't have the time to practice like I did.

Is this one of those games that lets pcs play with xbox 360-ers? Because i'll have time for this in two months.

I agree the twitch reflexes aren't like they used to be. I just like a group of casual play.

After playing WoW for 2 years and seeing how pickup groups to get instances done be a toss up in either direction as being very good or very bad. Sometimes you'd be lucky and it's just decent, but decent still means long instances, but not as many deaths.

A good group of people, which is what my interpretation of a clan is that plays together, knows the roles needed and can switch and fill in as needed is the most important thing to a successful TF2 run.

Of course, if it's just your basic fraggin' well :) you just gotta watch your back.... and I know I speak from experience :cough: kadath :cough:

I had to look it up....looks like no is the answer.

Some new updates!!!! Patches!

Of course I'm waiting for the servers to get patched as well... TFP server isn't poplating the list now.
edit: Okay it is now, and it's FULL!!!!

Fixed some edge cases where grenades could go through player or buildings

This one I noticed; you can't fire grens through the Do Not Enter walls; less spawncamping.

Engineer buildings now explode when the Engineer dies during sudden death

yeah I'm not happy about that too much...I guess I get it since well, you don't get rockets flying about after the soldier dies....

Well I had a few rambo moments today, so I'm into it a bit more. Still I think your teams success is mostly determined by engineers and medic combos.

Me too, Ustwo. Previously, my most kills for one life was only like 7 with a soldier. Not only did I up that with a sniper spree of headshots, but I even upped that with another soldier spree of 18 kills.

Soldier defending a cap point is where it's at!

Hmm, My mic doesn't work though steam, elsewhere though... It rocks.
Do we have the new admin front end installed? I think we should eh? :D

Frag ya later.

I removed the other one followed the install instructions to no avail. I'll have to pay closer attention to the instructions and make sure something small like a file path isn't missing.

Lemme do it!
I love tinkering with stuff that doesn't belong to me!

Lately either the TFP server is full or empty :(

Yeah I need to make some reserved slots once I figure out how to get the mods installed right.

It looks like I can't use Manimod or AMX with the server rental I have. I'll have time tomorrow to work on figuring out the beetlesmod with reservedslots.

Thanks for the offer Chiyachan, I'm going to bang my head against it for a bit first. I like tinkering with servers too, just have to focus on this which I've not done just yet. I keep getting distracted by trying to frag people.

My solution to it being empty is to go in the server and practice scout jumps or what have you. Usually the server's full inside of 5 minutes. Especially if you can grab someone else from the TFP group and just 1v1 for a while.

No manimod? =(
*Hits head against server too!*
I'm on steam, Just add me and ask for a game, not like I'll say no unless I'm REALLY busy.

i just got the orange box, is the tfp server still a happenin' place?

It happens that no one is ever on it. We should try to pull together a scheduled session.

Can you play this offline in a LAN party on 360?

A few of us out in the stcks would like to play it, but we only have dialup.

Is it something best played online?

It's really best played with two teams of at least 10 and preferably a full whack. So unless there are 20 of you in the sticks, it's not going to be as fun as it could be.

Cyn, I noticed the server has not had the latest update. Is it abandoned?

really? I'll check on it.

Ahh, ok. No TF2 for us. :(

Thanks, Kadath. :thumbsup:

I used to play the old Team Fortress many years ago and actually met the guys who created it. They were Aussie and very cool. One of them was so good at Soldier it was unreal. When I played, I used the Demoman almost exclusively. Got very good at planting traps of grenades and bouncing them around corners. Now if I could only convince my other friends to get this...

I dunno man, I really liked the original TFC in LANs a long time ago. I haven't been to a LAN in a long time but I still think it would be fun with even 5vs5 especially in small maps. when it gets to be like 16vs16 it gets way to hectic and you die instantly. That doesn't mean that it isn't fun, though!

The problem is that all the maps are really hard to defend with only 5. And maps that are offense and defense at once are really vulnerable to scout rush. I mean, yeah, you could play with 10. But I got the sense (and correct me if I'm wrong) that Fremen was talking about maybe 6 guys. 3v3 is more team deathmatch territory than TF.

I've not played recently, We should all get together at some point to do some.

I agree...it'd be great to get some team play in. I feel like some of the clans out there are starting to coordinate more with their class play. Obviously that's the key to success, and I want in on that.

I am usually on for a bit in the afternoon or after 10:00p.m.

How's the tfp server for canadian players? i just got a new comp and tf2 is probably going to be purchased soon.

Yeah, should I still be considering purchasing this?

Get it, get it, get it!

The TFP server is pretty dry, but we can change that! I've had no problems with speed or anything... my ping is usually between 40 and 50, and I'm on wireless (until the end of the month).
