official Team Fortress 2

Hopefully the last class to get upgrades is the sniper. Last thing we need are more ways for sniper ###### to keep going left, right, POW, left, right, POW, POW, and racking up 30+ more points than the number 2 guy on their team. :angry:

Here's a nice demo to show when sniper ###### get out of hand with hacks: Download here

(unzip the file to a convenient location, then start up TF2 and type 'demoui' in the console)

Maybe one day I'll finally get around to playing sniper. Until then, I'll continue cursing them off. :p

I don't understand why Valve can't block these aimbots and wall hacks, I hate playing against someone who is cheating :angry:

[theyarecomingforyou]

I've not come across anyone cheating, though I have come across plenty of accusations.

NEway, I've been having lots of fun since the latest update. I've already got all the heavy unlocks (it was great fun sneaking up on an engineer and killing him with a taunt). I'm really liking pl_badwater, which is much more fun than pl_goldrush - the Arena maps are also nice (I like the new theme for Lumberyard), though I can't say I play them much. I hope the next update is for the spy, as I rarely ever play it - I only got past an hour playtime last night and I pre-ordered The Orange Box to get access to the TF2 beta.

Sniper is still my most played class.

They've got VAC, the best bet is to play on a vac secured server, and make sure it's a pure server too (material based wallhacks are even easier to make, and have nothing to do with VAC)

I played TF2 last night and it seems everyone is a Heavy. I tried to play Heavy and do the achievements but it's really hard, I might have to go to an achievement server just to do it, though I would rather not do so.

It happen to me as well in the servers I play (Starhub, BolehVPN, GameArena) and when we find one is cheating, all of us just become spectators and wait for him to leave. I do admit it is annoying to play against these people but it's their choice if they want to cheat. If that's how they want to play, so be it, I don't care as sooner or later it will come back to them.

You guys sure do die a lot :p

I sure do love the HWM (HardWare Morph) models, they are so expressive (more like Meet The * videos), I'm also using a few custom settings to make stuff look nicer.

// These next two settings need to match
// otherwise facial animation breaks
mp_usehwmmodels "1"		 // Use high quality models
mp_usehwmvcds "1"		   // Use high quality faceposing
cl_new_impact_effects "1"   // Use particle systems for impact effects
cl_burninggibs "1"		  // Gibs from burning person stay on fire

How do I get those to work? Some kind of autoexec?

I've actually played the demo and it was fun but I still don't see why Valve went lazy with the cartoony-graphics. Half-Life 2 looks simply amazing with the infamous new Valve engine.

The graphics style was extremely hard to pull off. You'd be surprised.

How so? :huh:

Look at the models when they speak. The facial expressions are very good indeed.

I love the way it looks. Its great fun. Not taking itself too seriously.

Remember back in the day when TF2 was going to be all serious? Where you actually had the option of feeding bullets into a machinegun while your team mate fired it? That was insane, so glad that never happened.

I also find the Pyro cute, is that wrong? :p

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

How so? :huh:

TF2 is probably more graphically intense than HL2 EP2. There are an awful lot of shaders contributing to the look.

Nope. :p

Pyro's a she.

Woot at kills / deaths :D

[Jimmy0]

Just a shot of one of my ok K/D ratios. :)

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

ooh check you :p I don't play as often as some of you guys around here, I'm probably a noob compared to you all lol.

Nevertheless I was proud of my K/D

Nice ratio though dude! Was that all using the Soldier?

[-Vivicidal-]

My K/D is so poor... that's what I get for playing as a spy.

[»X«]

Just some of the fun I have. Pyro is my favourite class and its not for the achievements. I have them all. I just love playing it.

Anyone know of any good UK clans to join?

Can someone explain how the scoring works in TF2 to me please? Like I see you guys have a lot of kills and only get over 100 points?

I've played Scout a lot in the past and on some occassions captured/scored the intel 3 times to win a match, but I still got a crappy score. Then tonight, although not as good as you guys, I killed 29 times and only got 40 pts? Wtf :blink:

How the hell do you get high scores? Or is TFC/TF2 never meant to be like that?
