Yup, the 10-15 spwn time is just right. I definitely use that notion tactically, to break up rushes.

And as for spawn killing, I've always had the problem with pyros hiding and flaming upon exit, which was always a pain in the ass because I switch to the Medigun immediately to start charging whomever, and am really caught off guard.

Just had a GREAT soldier round on Gravelpit (while on red)......25 kills and 5 dominations in 1 life....total of 3k dmg (my previous best was 2.3k as pyro but nowhere near that amount of kills). Lasted the entire time BLU has on Gravelpit including the extra time from capping A, without dying. I ended the round 28-0....joined late and got 3 points when my team was on BLU before it ended all without dying.

Funny thing is I only have 22.7 hours as soldier....chances are thats the best I'll ever do as soldier, but it blows the most kills and dominations I have ever had before (as a scout main) out of the water.

I apologize if this has already been discussed in this thread. I just don't feel like digging thru 151 pages. ;)

When I try to install the game, it completes without problem. When I log into Steam, it starts redownloading the game.

I first thought it was just my discs that sucked, but I used a different pair and it's redownloading again.

Has something changed recently? I remember installing it on my Mac a few weeks back (via CrossOver which sucks) and it worked fine.

Any help in the next 20 minutes before it gets done dl'ing, is appreciated. :)

New update coming: Classless Update :D

Can't wait, 18 new hats :) Maybe now I'll get one!

Yeah, youll get the one you need the least. :p

Installing from disc? You sure it isnt just updating? There has been lots of stuff added since those discs were printed. Atleast id think that.

Yeah, I have the 2 DVD install discs.

It's downloading at 632KB/s, at 62%, and been going for about 15 minutes now.

If it's an update, it must be huge. haha

Doesn't matter how many new hats they add if they don't make a way for us to get them other than RNG. In fact, the more they add (without changing the drop rate) the less chance there is you'll get the one you want. :pinch:

RNG = Random Number Generator

Yup, there is a higher chance of getting A hat (assuming the chance to get a hat is rolled separately and not 0.05% or change to get a single hat each roll) with more hats, but a lower chance of getting a specific hat you want. I personally think they will reveal the trading system with this update, that way you CAN trade for the hats you want. Why else would they add 18 new hats if people are going to complain about the RNG and no way to trade for a hat they want. Then again you could say the same thing about the original hats and RNG.....

I am personally hoping for the trade system and a way to influence the RNG (such as more play-time as one class, or your current class even, gives you a higher chance of getting a hat belonging to that class). Seeing as they still have 3 days of updates (assuming it stays on schedule with other non-dual class updates) they still have 3 major things to announce (major as in a new game mode, or a bunch of new items, or a trade system or influence system).

They obviously have lots of new content if they are doing a weekly (assuming it follows the other large updates) reveal for an update that contains NO class updates (if they aren't hiding a class update, that is).

    • Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store
    • Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
