Although this add-ons are great and give the game more life, I can't help but think that it affects the game in other ways. Most servers seems to be 75% pyro with a few medics for good measure. When the heavy update comes out, you can guess what the servers will be like then.

And then there will be me, at the other end of the map, with a sniper rifle :)

And me with the backburner, oh how I love waiting for heavies to spunk their uber and then get them and the medic... makes me warm and fuzzy inside.

Especially when they've just took out loads of guys, two lvl3 sentries dispensers and all are are running down to the intel.

Oh joyful moments.

I'm hungry for a sandvitch, I think I'll make one for lunch tuesday

Damn you, now I want a sandvitch :p .

Scirwode

i think the new 3 v 3 arena will be good, but harder to play random games, might be good if they introduce like a 24 man server say, with 3 man teams either randomly or pre-set so once one match finishes, new teams go in to play.

im betting on pyro - medic - sold/demo being the winning combo :)

Why does it take so long to connect to a server in TF2, you have like a damn good minute or more.

What kind of system specs do you have?

I built a new computer in April and I noticed a huge jump. I was usually last in, now i'm always first. I think the hard drive speed can be a deciding factor. My old computer had IDE drives and my new one has SATA drives. I also have a Core 2 and 4GB of ram, but yea.

I have a feeling that in Arena some wiseass team will go all Snipers and own the other team in a few seconds. :pinch:

Let me at them, if you have a decent enough team, that would be a breeze. Besides, not every person who plays sniper always hits in one shot. That snipe team could be bounced handily, especially if there is any form of cover. Open areas, now that may be a different story.

I have an Athlon X2 64 4400+ and a 10K RPM hard drive and it still takes me a while to get connected to a TF2 server. Of course, mine could be caused by the horrible connect Verizon provides my area of the country. Some days I can download a file like it nothing and then the next it takes forever.

For those with the slow load times, have you tried defragging your gcf files?

There is a defrag tool built into the Steam client, but this program will actually help some. Some of the files are big, so it may take awhile. Give it a shot, it maybe give you some improvement.

Use the built-in defrag, since they added the inter-file defrag too there has been no need to use GCFScapes'.

Phenom 9850 and a 7200rpm Seagate drive here and TF2 takes no time to load, saying that however i believe that amount of RAM is the deciding factor. (I have 4GB)

    • Not such a great deal, Ultimate, which gives you full 5080 features is $181.99 CAD per month, that's $2183.88 per year, I can buy the 5080 for $1809.99 CAD, then it goes up to $279.99 per month after the first billing cycle. Typical cloud rental, costs more than buying the hardware.
    • Wow, spoken like a true blind hater, you don't even provide arguments. Please, go check my comment above to @seacaptain and you'll find out why what you say doesn't make sense in this context...
    • Get used to this, with AI tooling now uncovering new vulns and getting them exploitable far faster than has ever been possible before software is going to need to be updated far more frequently. Back in the day it may take reseachers weeks or months to do what AI can now do in hours. Once its a threat is discovered it's weaponsized far more quickly, meaning you simply can't be waiting 2, 3, 4 weeks to deploy a patch, it needs to be patched immediately. Going to be interesting handling this in the enterprise space where traditionally patching has been steady, but very staged (and rightly so up until now), that is going to have to change.
    • You don't need to "close all browser sessions constantly" or wait for updates to install. The updates download in the background while you use the browser, without interrupting you, they install automatically the next time you launch the app. And they install very fast (depending on your storage speeds, of course), you have to wait at most 2-3 extra seconds, if any. Seems like you haven't used Edge in a loooooooong time...
