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

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 :(

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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. ;)

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 ;)

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By Max Norris · Posted

      Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
