12 years

Look at the release date.

Ah right, since the original.

I thought you meant it was the 1 year birthday of TF2 :)

But anyway, in regards to the original being 12 years old, time still flies :p

My bets are on a Wrench that makes things build and upgrade faster, but does 25/50% less damage.

It would help encourage offensive engineers while making spies more deadly, as most engineers will try and wrench a spy rather than switch to thier shotgun.

I think we can expect a totally different weapon to replace the shotgun if the Flaregun and Sandvich are anything to go by, what they'll do with the Pistol i'm not sure, maybe another pistol that leeches the victims ammo on hit and gives the engineer a small amount of metal?

The classes chosen so far have been Support->Offence->Defence so i think we'll probably be seeing the Spy get his unlocks next, with maybe a homage to the guy that created the Spy hoax page.

I've read this mentioned before, and I think it's one of the safest bets for now.

The wrench is quite powerful for melee, it can take out a Spy in 2 hits usually, sometimes 1 if you crit.

And what you said is right, many engineers run around trying to wrench a Spy rather than some shotgun blasts.

added to my favourites too, hope to catch you online sometime and get the Steam friends achievement myself. :)

Anyone know a console command to turn off the big info bubbles at the start of the round?

I mean I've put over a 100 hours into TF2, I don't need a big ass balloon blocking my vision for 20 seconds explaining the game mode.

One of the admins on my server was talking about it. Basically a file notates how many times you play a map and after 50 times it will disappear. Most of the messages i'm guessing are on the new maps. Here is the answer to your question from a Gamespot thread.

Ohh thank god I fixed it. For anyone who would like these annoying messages gone:

"go to

C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\XXXXXXXXX\team fortress 2\tf\media

open "viewed.res" with notepad

change the view number to "50" or higher on each map."

The multiple x's represent your steam name.

I'm guessing the next update will be the spy. They said the goal of the update is to get more people to play the least-played classes. According to this scout is the least played, followed by spy. Since the updates so far have been support-offense-defense, I'm guessing the next one will be a support class, ie. The Spy.

    • I can't believe Starmer is still there...his party lost so big. He's a stubborn coot, but this is largely unenforceable, so I would imagine he'll be resigning soon. A key here is for parents to buy their kids phones sans Internet access--and set up the Internet at home, where mom and day can, you know, act like parents instead expecting the government to raise their kids.
    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences" by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The gaming giant Electronic Arts is exploring more ways to inject real-life brands into its games. Announced today as EA Advertising, the new platform is attempting to make it easier for brands to reach out for deals with the company and put their products inside titles like EA Sports FC, Madden, NHL, Skate, or The Sims. EA revealed that its EA Sports side of the company brings in "hundreds of millions of players across console, PC, and mobile" every year. Fan engagement of these titles was also touted as being "extraordinary," with 23,000 NFL seasons worth of games being played in Madden NFL daily, while EA Sports FC sees over a billion matches a day. “Players come to EA’s games and live experiences every day to play, watch, create and connect,” said David Tinson, Chief Experiences Officer at Electronic Arts. “That gives brands a meaningful opportunity to show up in ways that add value and respect the player experience, while maintaining authenticity in the worlds our teams are building. With EA Advertising, we’re helping brands become part of those moments in ways that are relevant and built for players.” Using the new program EA Advertising, brands will be able to inject their products into games in real-time via dynamic placement. EA says partners will have access to everything from stadium signage in sports games and targeted adverts to in-game content custom-made for the brands. These are described as additions designed to "enhance, not disrupt" experiences. "In these interactive gameplay environments, brands become part of the game itself, reflecting how players engage with advertising in real-world contexts," adds the company "Brands can activate across live environments, tailoring placements to meet campaign objectives, and update campaigns with ongoing optimization informed by aggregated engagement insights." Current real-world brand partnerships EA has built into its games include Visa (EA Sports FC and College Football), Lowe's (EA Sports FC, Madden NFL, and College Football), Red Bull (EA SPORTS FC), Xfinity and Peacock (EA SPORTS FC), and Mountain Dew’s (College Football).

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels A few months ago, Neowin reported that the UK was trialing a social media ban with 300 teenagers for six weeks, that testing has come to an end, and Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced that the country will ban under-16s from social media. Starmer said that this technology is making children unhappy and making it easier for bullies to harass and abuse them. He continued to talk about the addictive nature of social media, saying that it uses an infinite scroll designed to lock users in for hours. He said this interferes with children doing their homework, reading, playing with friends outside, and going to bed on time. Tackling the idea that nothing can be done about social media, Starmer said: The government’s action won’t stop at social media either, the PM said. It plans to take action on gaming services and livestreaming platforms. Right now, he said, strangers can contact any child unchecked. He said this wouldn’t happen in real life, and the government is going to stop it from happening online, too. The Labour government has overseen the introduction of the Online Safety Act, a big change to the internet which includes age verification on adult websites. This has led to a fair bit of backlash, but overall, the government is pushing ahead with these changes.
