official Team Fortress 2

[Minimoose]

Does TF2 have one of those trial deals like all of the other Valve games?

Not sure how it works as I have never done it, but definitely have heard of it on other games.

So if it does have that, can someone send me a trial invite?

I just built my first new gaming PC in over 3 years, and I am pretty sure I am going to buy this anyway, but of course it would not hurt to check it out first just to make super sure.

My Steam ID is DirtyLarry531

If you need my email address to do it, just PM me and I will gladly let you know.

If it does not do it, nevermind, and if it does, TIA.

Just wait for the trial weekend, although you won't get a real feel for the game just after the scout update is released since most of the servers will be 12 scouts vs 12 scouts ;)

Which is going to be awesome! :rofl:

There should be another free weekend due relatively soon though I think. A while back Valve made the game half price too, but I don't think they'll do that again

[Minimoose]

It's worth a lot more than what you have to pay for it now though ;)

For my sentry...

Especially on achievement servers, when there's no admin around.

[ViZioN]

Haha yeah and on public servers too. I tend not to go on achievement servers. Did it once for the medic update and it skewed my scores :(

[Dane]

Dude I'd be ****ed if there was someone who appeared to be on my team and was killing teammates.

The best thing to do is run your own server.

I had people screaming at me to ban myself :laugh:

I've been onto an achievement place and it didn't mess with my scores/stats. But then again, valves stat system sucks and doesn't remember 90% of what i do anyway so maybe that's why.

[Dane]

That exploit.

Explode; join unassigned

I did that on an empty server just to toy around with it. Steam VAC doesnt log that does it? I did it on an empty server. Shouldnt be a problem right?

[Samn9]

VAC only checks if you're running an aimbot or wallhack program. Commands won't be an issue.

Pfft. Intelligently placed sentry > your Natascha.

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

Thanks all for the replies. I figured it might be hard and all of the trials would be gone.

Will keep my eye out for another free weekend, and if it does come up, if someone who plays it often knows and wants to send me a heads up PM when the free weekend comes, that would be extremely appreciated.

[Mathachew Veteran]

They haven't had one a while IIRC, so there will likely be one when the scout update comes out.

[Athernar]

Pfft. Intelligently placed sentry > your Natascha.

Even the best placed sentry will get taken out after it makes 1/2 kills. It's ironic that for them to stay up they need to be closely guarded by other players.

So I say Natascha > Sentry. :p

Once I am done playing Crysis, I very well may just buy The Orange Box so I get TF2 and also Portal. I know I like both games. Just also keeping in mind Killzone comes out soon, so do not have a whole lot of time for gaming.

But I think I understand correctly, and Portal for the PC has a ton of other maps as opposed to the console version correct? (I never did check out the additonal pack on the 360). Sorry to go OT slightly, but if Portal has more maps on the PC, the I definitely will just get the Orange Box so I get both Portal and TF2.

I say you can place the sentry near my natascha to kill even more reddies :o

It sure does. The arcade expansion of Portal, which you pay for, has been free (and around) for quite some time, not to mention it's far easier to play it with a keyboard and mouse as opposed to a controller. I tried doing a few challenges on the 360, and there's just no way.

Oh ok, I made a server and was messing around with it earlier, couldnt really get it to work correctly but oh well.

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

So I will see you guys on TF2 when I get around to checking it out...

Even though I had it for the 360, I went ahead and purchased The Orange Box so I could have Portal and TF2. They were each $20, so for just $30 I got them both, plus figured I could always go back and play Episode 2 on a PC, the way it was meant to be played. ;)

Awesome decision!

I've put 234.5 hours into TF2. My favourite online MP game. Let's just forget it ever existed on consoles :p

[Mathachew Veteran]

TF2 on the 360 isn't that bad, it's just that it lacks updates, which have made it far better than when it was originally released.

TF2 on consoles is ass, do not try to convince anyone otherwise :p

Laggy, no content updates, smaller servers, [it's 8v8 I believe, or maybe 12v12], matchmaking instead of server lists, no dedicated servers.... I could go on.

This game was made to be played on the PC, nothing else ;)
