Team Fortress 2: TFP OWNZ! Server goodness!
 

Those of you who remember the origins of the site know that this used originated as TBA-OWNZ which was a clan site.

I'd like to propose that those of you who have TF2 as part of Orange Box, suit up and let's get crackin'! There are plenty of servers for us to jump onto.

Anyone else interested?

edit: Here is the TFP server
[TFP-OWNZ] - tfproject.org Over 18 only

My steam name is "Xav400" so feel free to add me or look me up. :)

still haven't installed it but if I get into it, you can count me in dudes!

i am considering getting the orange box. never played TF before, but I have played a lot of UT and UT2k4.

I'll get more and more into it once I reign in the initial addiction. I've got a couple of music projects on the go that won't permit me to mess up my shoulder/upper back from too much gaming. Once those are out of the way and can limit myself to 1hr long sittings at most, I should be pretty regular. It's awesome!

I recommend the Orange Box even if you don't want 1 of the games. for 50$, it's still more than half price from getting everything seperate.

I used to be a TFC god.

I have been wanting a good fps again, maybe I'll join up.

Orange Box is on my "to buy" list...but considering how my purchases are typically spaced out (and the fact that FFXII is ahead of it), I doubt I'll be getting it anytime soon. :(

Do NOT go into the game expecting it to be like TFC or any of the TF games for that matter. There are no grenades, classes are set up different, 2fort has a covered bridge, 2fort is the only "ctf" map atm.

That being said... I LOVE THIS FREAKING GAME!

I have like 4 PC games and a brand new Wii fighting for my attention. I don't know what I'll do to fit this in.

I've been hearing some good things about this Orange Box thingy....starting with aberkok, who first brought it to my attention. I will explore further....

...intriguing...

I'll get it after I get done building another computer, this laptop is insufficient for FPS games, it barely would run WoW as it is

If you don't know how the classes work:

Okay here's a server we can play on for a couple months. It is currently located in Texas ping from LA is 60, ping from NY is 60 so it's a good middle ground for the Americans. There is an option for St. Louis as well.

edit:updated server to NY so as to be able to attract more people on it with a lower ping rate.

No grenades?! I loved grenades. How else can 1 shot net you 5 kills?

I'd play if my computer wasn't garbage =(

Well I got a couple of hours, I go buy this.

Careful, you might find yourself playing, then looking at the clock when you're done and finding that a lot more than just a couple of hours have passed :)

Don't forget to use a mic and map a key for voice chat, the game is too frantic to try to hit the built in voice messages (other than the "Medic!" one)

I might try the server, but being UK... I don't think I'll like the lag :P

Purchased, I'll give it a shot tonight.

Must.... resist..... purchasing...... :cringe:

I don't know what time I'll be able to jump on tonight, I just got a ticket to see JK Rowling read Harry Potter 7 at Carnegie Hall!!!

:orly:

I'd rather play video games.

yeah me too but someone went out of their way to get me a ticket, at least I'll get to see Carnegie Hall. I've never been there before.

Installed, if I don't crash because of this migraine I might be around.

Add me!

Nimbletoe, I tried to add you but can't find you.

I've been getting really good at being an engineer. Medic a little, but the offensive classes I'm still not so good at.

I have yet to purchase The Orange box as I already owned HL2 and EPI1. But I do play CS from time to time and do plan on getting TF2. Add me on steam to friends and I will play some CS with you and some TF2 when I get it. Steam name is:

Ive done the occasional fps game here and there but imo this is the most fun one that ive tried. Loving playing a Pyro so far, something about going around a corner and torching everyone in the room hehe.

MMM not sure I like it.

Seems to limited, I like being able to rambo.

I need to make a trip to EB Games anyway.
After I do, count me in.

TFC > TF2

Pffft, if you like TFC you can play Fortress Forever or TFC even. The rest of us will be having fun without constant grenade spam or bunnyhopping. Anyway, my Steam id is lokus121ATcomcast.net, I added the server to my favs. By the way, is there a TFP steam group/clan thingy? That way you can see all the TFPers with one invite rather than manually inviting everyone one at a time.

I just figured out how to make a group.

Also the server has been busy most the night tonight. :eek:

I jumped on after putting Skogafoss to bed and kicked some ass and got ass handed back to me.

Be a Heavy and grab a medic... wait until they have Uber and once they uber you walking and mow everything down.

I bought this last week and I have to say that I haven't had this much fun playing a multiplayer game in a long time. I play the medic exclusively and it's still fun as hell. There's nothing like clearing out 10 enemy troops because you know how to stay out of enemy fire.

The animations are awesome, the graphics are awesome, the level design is awesome, the teamwork is awesome....I can't really complain about anything.

Go group!

Thats not quite what I mean, I like it where my skill can make the difference. Perhaps my favorite FPS gaming moment was playing CS before all the hacks came out and my team gets wiped out in the first minute. I flanked the CT's and and killed the entire CT team solo. The game allowed my twitch skills to do so, and luckily it was prior to the hacks so I didn't get accused of cheating.

TFC2 is balanced around team play being greater than any individual, and I'm a loner normally.

Group requires an invite...invite meh please :)

Ustwo, as Cyn knows I usually prefer either solo games or, like you, ones where I can be effective as a single player. That said, playing with a group of friends (first on WoW, now TF2) has been a kick in the pants. I would say to try it when there are 3+ of us on the same team, and if you still don't like it then at least you gave it a shot.

Oh, in thinking of it, have you tried the Spy? That seems like a class pretty well suited to solo characteristics...nothing better than disguising as an enemy (or cloaking) and getting behind their lines, getting a few backstabs in, sapping sentries, and all around helping the team when they do an offensive push without actually having to be in said group as they push...just a thought.

Ustwo, I'm a loner too. Even when I played in a UT clan, I considered myself the sweeper. I didn't fit a "role" ... I just liked fucking people up and being the hero with the dominating kill score.

I'll probably give in and try this out soon, anyways. If there is a way to play as friends, I'm hopeful that it will be an enjoyable experience.

I find that the engineer and spy can be pretty loner types.

They only want me for my teleporters and my dispensers. But definitely can't go wandering too far away from my sentry.... stupid sappers. getting better at figuring out spies though.

strange that invite thing.. but I invited you.

Yep, it worked, I just didn't have Steam running, once I did, I got the invite

Halx, once you get a SteamID, Cyn can invite you to the group and we can see who is online from TFP (so far looks like Chiya, Aberkok, Zedd, Cyn and I are in the group).

Now we just need someone to herd all of us cats into a game when we actually are online...I'm nominating Cyn :)
