awesome. I have this game, and i have a question. Why on my steam does it always say the game is updating? I believe it shows it everyday right before i go to play it, and it's kinda weird.

Do they really update it that often? it did the same thing on my older pc as well.

Finally a proper TF2 thread. :) About the newest update, they are going to have a free weekend again?

EDIT: About Steam updating the game... Well, they released a new update few hours ago.

yeah it's updating again, but it did also update yesterday, and a couple days ago also. It's like an everyday thing on my steam.

I actually don't play it, I played it for a little bit when I got it in the Orange Box but that's it. The only reason I don't is because there are too many games now, I have about 30 games installed on my computer that I want and need to play through. It get's overwhelming, and since TF2 ain't a story or anything it's not on my top of the list.

Bought the Orange Box yesterday..Was a slow download (Stupid steam..). Finally got everything and decided to play some TF2, joined Random server and had fun as hell. Tried playing Demoman, Pyro, Heavy, Sniper and Medic.

I got stuck as Sniper for some time...but Pyro was damn fun. Still trying to learn Spy =).

Is it true they are bringing back the 'Reset Stats' option in the next update? A few people on the steam forums seem to think so. A custom map has screwed up some of my stats and I want to reset them. Hopefully if they bring it back it doesnt reset the time you've played each class though.

There are bots, but they don't do anything apart from standing there.

The best way to learn is to jump right in and watch what your team mates are doing.

TF2 :wub:

Would be great if we could get some Neowin matches going, even if it's on a public server (Y)

I play on the Multiplay servers all the time.

I'm a bit of a Dustbowl whore. Love the map.

We once had a Neowin server, but I don't think TF2 was as popular then. The server was empty 24/7 just about :p

How do some people have huge play times? I've had TF2 since release and my total play time is 50/60 hours.

EDIT:Someone make a neowin server?

TF2 was popular, but nobody was on at the same time.

And lag means it's really hard to play against multiple neowin members, we're all spread out (I only played on the server a few times and had 200+ latency)
