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).

    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
    • Watch Louis Rossmann's recent experience on YouTube about trying to get a warranty replacement from Samsung. It's crazy.
    • That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.
    • They use FREE AI. They aren't paying for this meme-generating slopware...
    • Gotta' buy that there Rufus guy a beer if I ever meet him. He makes good stuff.
