Fun game, bought it. I go by Donald Duck and I seem to be doing the best as a medic so far.

Medic is a great starter class, even if you are not doing great you are still a benefit to your team through healing/ubering them, and it also helps you learn the game when your just starting while remaining to be a benefit.

[jonhapimp]

also pyro is a good class to start off with and if you got really good aim then solider

Yea I really had no clue what was going on those first couple of games, but I'm starting to get the hang of the different maps/objectives now, so I'm starting to play as other characters. Apparently you can pick up items/weapons and such and they get saved? No idea about that yet.

[Argi]

So I didn't get the weapon that comes with the Soldier Milestone 1 - hopefully they fix that in the upcoming bug-fix patch. Still haven't got any random hat, either. :(

*sighs* I despise this game's RNG more and more.

You will get new weapons with the random drop system. You will also get weapon when you reach milestone for achievements. On the main menu, you will see a link the change what you are wearing.

I just got the Orange box and haven't really played TF2 much, would someone be willing to help a n00b out ? :D

So is valve working on fixing the items from achievements yet? I want my Direct hit.

+1, for that resolution the correct aspect ratio is 16x9.

I honestly do not know why Valve didn't just make 1 long resolution list showing all resolutions your monitor supports. Would have made it a bit easier to change between different aspect ratios and resolutions.

Actually, for 1440x900 it'd be 16:10.

Not my image btw.

Thats what I meant to say, even did the calculation itself (900 / 10 * 16 = 1440), but I accidently put in 9 when I typed it. :p

[Blackhearted]

Hm. Sounds nice. But they're running out of time in 'today'.

[John Freeman]

Well, being unable to connect to loadout servers was fixed yesterday... or today. Depends on where you are. The only thing left is that process. I want my equalizer!

[Aero_Rising]

This would be valve we are talking about they have released at 11 p.m. pst when they said today. Although to be fair most developers would just say it's not happening today we'll do it tomorrow.

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

So I played for about an hour, hoping to find a couple of items. I check my character setup and notice a message that says "The server you are playing in has lost connection to Steam." Great, just great. :/

[Dance.]

Bah, 3 months and counting since I've played some tf2. :(

Valve did release an update last night:

That update did nothing for the missing weapons at milestones issue. And since they did nothing else later on in the day that means they likely wont fix it till monday. Which furthermore means there's absolutely no reason to even start up the game till then(cause chances are i'll be playing DNF before the random drop system doesn't suck). Sigh.. such a sloppy class update.

[MrChuang]

Just me or is anyone else prefer the game back when their was just a few class updates - back when it was just Medic and Pyro? It seems these days too many people are playing just for the achievements and not like they used to

[WastedJoker]

50% off on Steam.

I think that's always the case when a new update comes out. The classes that have been updated get used and abused for a bit and then things settle down again. It's a bit more annoying for me because normally soldier is my main class, but yesterday it took a bit to actually go it due to class limits. Also remember there is a free weekend now so there will be quite a lot of players who have no idea what is going on.

[Chasethebase Veteran]

So, I finally have the Demo unlocks (Eyelander is so fun). Don't have my Soldier ones though even though I got the milestones :(

[i_was_here]

Anyone know of any guides for Team Fortress 2 or some servers for beginners? I just got the game but I've never player it before (or Team Fortress Classic either).

Yeah it is annoying as heck, soldier is one of my main classes too, and while the server I play doesn't have class limits it gets annoying when theres 5 other soldiers on your team already. Cant wait for the "new weapon flurry" to die down a bit and theres only 3-4 soldiers (max) on each team with like 2-3 demos max.
