Be warned, I pwn.

:p

I'll maybe be on tonight, if I ain't going out on the drink and hunt for women. Pretty skint and I need to pay for a leeds ticket soon. I notice your off to T, I've been the last 3 years and am giving it a miss for leeds this year.

Nah just a ticket to go to leeds... :rofl:

Yeah man, leeds festival. Cool stuff (Y)

If you want low pings, play on local servers. I always go on GameArena servers.

Just then I finally got both medic and pyro's extra weapons.

BestGN, Internode and GameArena are all good.

I prefer to stay away from the servers with instant respawn though, can make it hard to progress into a base (you kill a guy, by the time you get to the top of the stairs you're on, he's respawned and is shooting at you again)

Probably another reason why they put health pack and ammo on top of the spiral ramps.

  • 3 weeks later...

The Medic update/achievements were released on April 29th

The Pyro update/achievements were released on June 19th.

I am guessing the Heavy update/achievements will be due sometime around August 24th (going on a rough average).

Just thought I'd create this topic and throw it out there for discussion :p

so any news on what the updates are? :p i know the pyro additions got me to start using pyro again. the flare gun is a blast. here's hoping to interesting upgrades for the heavy!

and speaking of tf2 i'm refreshing my install right now :/ damn thing kept validating the files and wouldn't launch the game.... so annoying.

I want my engineer achievements. :(

I think it will be some time until we get engineer achievements because, frankly speaking, they're very powerful. Granted, a good Spy can take them down but put a Pyro there who fires a blast at anyone who comes near a sentry and you're pretty much covered. And if you have a lot of engineers who build a cluster of sentries at one point and Dispensers nearby them to replenish and then build Teleporters around key areas in the map, you have one hell of a defensive strategy.

    • MVS subscribers got the proper 26200.8655 Win11 25H2 ISO downloads as of 6/16/2026 avoiding this whole MCT fiasco by MS. I'll obtain the official 8655 MVS ISO download instead.
    • too bad the "backend" June 2026 ESD files are still at build 26200.8653 and not at the correct build 26200.8655 release. I'll avoid using the MCT for several weeks until late July 2026
    • Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices by Pradeep Viswanathan Qualcomm has been delivering dedicated SoCs for mixed reality and spatial computing devices for several years. The journey started with the Snapdragon XR1, followed by the Snapdragon XR2 in 2019, the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 in September 2023, and finally the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 in 2024. Today, Qualcomm announced a major upgrade with the new Snapdragon Reality Elite Platform, which targets premium mixed reality and spatial computing devices. OEMs can use this SoC to power both all-in-one video-see-through headsets and lightweight, tethered optical-see-through glasses. Qualcomm highlighted that the Snapdragon Reality Elite will power the next wave of Android XR devices coming later this year. These wearables will offer better visuals, improved power efficiency, and deeper on-device AI integration compared to the previous generation. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can deliver up to 48 TOPS of AI performance, allowing large language models and large vision models to run directly on the device for the first time. In addition to enabling new spatial AI experiences, these new AI capabilities will improve head and hand tracking, as well as see-through features. On the performance side, the Snapdragon Reality Elite offers up to 60% higher GPU performance, up to 30% higher CPU performance, and up to 160% higher NPU performance compared to the previous generation. The platform supports visuals of up to 4.4K per eye at 90 frames per second for sharper images and smoother motion. Qualcomm is also claiming significant efficiency improvements. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can offer up to 20% longer battery life under the same workload. More importantly, the chipset can run up to 12 degrees Celsius cooler under load, making headsets more comfortable for users to wear for longer periods. The platform also includes improvements to video see-through, featuring lower latency and better image quality. Qualcomm states that its EVA hardware block helps accelerate demanding computer vision workloads, improving how digital content blends with the real world.
    • Umm... GitHub continues to use AWS. That's the story, that's the headline. There's no "new" news here. GitHub continues to require additional capacity beyond the originally-planned Azure allocations. There's nothing special about this; nothing noteworthy. They're still using AWS' infra until the cutover is complete.
