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).

    • Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Valve has been routinely kicking off demo festivals on Steam for years now, and the second drop of 2026 has just opened its doors. It's a great opportunity for any PC gamers to find some interesting games before they release. The June edition of Steam Next Fest is a week-long digital festival including gameplay slices from a large number of indie developers, though a few major publishers are involved this time too. Interested players can use the Next Fest hub page's various sorting and filtering options to easily sort through the hordes of demos available. The top buttons offer quick access to separate and important sorting options, including "By Genre, By Theme, By Feature," with each one offering more granular settings when clicked. At the same time, the built-in Steam tags system is also available below every page to discover new games more quickly. As always, logging in will also enable Steam gamers to utilize Valve's recommendation algorithms to find game demos they might like, specifically, depending on their past play and purchase histories. This time there is even a toggle now to swap between getting a random and personalized selection as Valve collects more data on the available demos. The Charts section is where you can find the most popular demos on the platform right now, offering up the most hyped titles in a simple list. Right at the kickoff, Mistfall Hunter, Empulse, Echoes of Aincrad, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Over the Hill, Mortal Shell II, and more are trending. Expect this list to change as the week progresses. This edition of the Steam Next Fest is slated to end on June 22 at 10 AM PT. Valve's latest event is now open, and it can be accessed by going to the dedicated hub page here.
    • I lived and breathed MSN Messenger/Windows Live Messenger. Going to the mess.be website (still online with no changes since 2013) to download display pictures etc. I was a beta tester for Messenger Plus! and spent quite a lot of time on the MsgPlus! forums (a read-only copy is still online at https://shoutbox.menthix.net) Some old Neowin articles also https://www.neowin.net/news/messenger-plus-350/ good times but how time flies
    • Well i'll look into a docking station if needed and use that.    Normally i don't usually have all the drives connected at once,  usually once a month to sync the latest files, and then they go back in there storage area   
    • memories! completely forgot about alcohol 120%!!!! man this list just makes me think of all the exciting times! everything's become so sterilized these days.
