:laugh:. I'm getting worried because I fly out to California come June 13th, and my play style is going to be crap from a week of not playing.

I play every. single. night. for an hour or two now. I've gotten my kick back and I'm really starting to enjoy it. I just wish I could find an east coast custom maps server.

I'm trying to play more Demoman to get rolling towards the "Tartan Spartan" achievement. That's gonna take a hell of a while, luckily I enjoy playing Demo.

Sort of the opposite with me, I do not like playing Demo, but I will to help take down some sentries that the rest of my team is unable to get. As little as I play demo though, on an average day for me, I can end up topping the server as demo, its really kind of annoying, as its not something I enjoy doing.

Got me for a second :rofl:

[Explore]

Saw that on Kotaku.

Fooled me for a second as well

[Minifig]

May not be a very big achievement for some of you but I just scored 100 points with the spy in a 3 round, round.

And I finally got the sapsucker achievement.

I'm really proud of myself.

We should all play on an empty server some time :D

[Azusa]

Ok iv had this for about a year now and my gaming moods being as they are i just started playing it this week and god it's too much fun.

Well the "official" Neowin server is always empty.. :shifty: :laugh:

I hate the progress achievements, they're horrible.

Kollectivisation, Tartan Spartan, Out Damned Scot, Kilt in Action.

Also Banner of Brothers is HORRIBLE. So difficult to get 5 friends in the same server, at the same time, on the same team, near to each other, while you buff them.

Grr.

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

Friend everybody on your team then :p

It's how I got the "Play on a team of x friends" achievement.

[Chasethebase Veteran]

Did I say that I crafted the Gentleman's Gatsby the other day? It's a great hat! :D

[ViZioN]

Grr.

It's pretty easy if you're in a clan :p Bit harder on public though.

Thats one of the 2-3 soldier achievements I do not have. One tip to getting it though, is use it at the end of a round before it starts the next round and moves everyone back to the spawn. If you have 5 friends on your team, they will all respawn in the spawn room with you, and almost everyone in the spawn room will get the buff banner buff, allowing you to not have to worry about whether you are close to 5 friends or not.

I still haven't gotten it though, the most of my friends I have seen on at any one time was like 2-3.

This post was breaking the thread, so I redid the formatting.

TF2 is really gobbling up my internet as of late. Good to see that Valve is still fully behind it, great work guys! Still one of my favorite games to play online.

[Minifig]

Level 1 sentry.. with a lazor?!

What are they doing to my engineer?! :blink::woot::o

[Lewism]

Laser :o

[Nagisan]

Maybe it has laser tracking that increases damage the longer it has a target? Or it locks its target faster with lower damage? Hmmm.....will definitely be interesting, maybe its a new sentry unlock to go with the P.D.Q (pretty darn quick engy unlock which builds faster but cannot upgrade)?

Interesting that it only has the L1 laser sentry icon......but knowing Valve they intentionally included it to up the hype.

Way to break the thread there Chasethebase :laugh: (You've triggered an IPB bug)

Nice to see custom weapons get kill icons, I wonder if/when they'll get taunts (also, the update was like 300MB, for 2 changed maps and some new icons?)

Really? I checked it when I posted it and it turned out fine. Odd... Would be easier if the forums had the live preview in the edit box (So you hit bold and instead of inserting the tags it makes the text bold as you write it).

But yeah, would love to see some new taunts, even if the Shiv gets the default Kukri one and the Skullcutter gets the Eyelander with no killing effect.

[Chasethebase Veteran]

Note the black body as well, it shows a bullet making someone's head explode. LOL

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

Enable the rich text editor.

And the guy's head exploding from the bullet is for a beta version of the Ambassador or something, it turned up in the Spy update but hasn't been used.
