official Team Fortress 2

[inferniac]

last night was great on payload, 10 heavies FTW

yeah servers without class limits can be ridiculous, I remember playing one time on defense (dustbowl) and having 6 engineers on the team :) BLU didn't stand a chance :laugh:

[Ionium]

Nah, that's easy to beat. Just get a couple demomen with ubers from medics to sticky bomb the place.

Yeah it's nice when it works. If you've got a medic combo that know what they're doing they'll take that no problem. Air-blasting pyros however make it a bit more...challenging :p

When you're playing with some people that seems to be the hardest part :laugh:

I feel like the game isn't running like it should be. I'm on a MacBook Pro, 10.6.2, Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz, 4GB RAM, Nvidia 8600M GT. I play in full screen etc. Still feels laggy, any tips or just adjusting some settings? (or) Will my specs keep it from running any better regardless of settings adjusted?

I've been saying that for years :laugh: Seriously though, it definitely doesn't seem to run as well now that all the class updates have been done. I don't know if its even supported on a Mac, but make sure you disable Physx in the nvidia control panel. (I normally just uninstall the driver).

There's also various fps configs you could try. Obviously you sacrifice some visual quality, but you can get significantly better performance.

10.6.4, not 10.6.2 just an fyi. Also, what fps configs?

This might sound really dumb but where do yo locate the Nvidia Control panel in OS X? I've only done it in the past on a PC.

No idea, I've never ever used a Mac :rofl:

I'll try and get you some links to a few of the FPS configs. People I play TF2 with use them so I'll find out what one they like best. An FPS config simply tweaks various TF2 commands so that you get increased frames per second. This will make it the game run smoother and should help you kill more enemies! Obviously this comes at a cost of some visual quality, though.

Thanks! :) I'm playing on a laptop so I expect to sacrifice visuals. That's what my Xbox is for lol look forward to hearing what they say.

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

The OS X graphics drivers suck, and the 8600M is a mobile card.

But it's probably more the drivers (there's some crazy FPS drop on the same hardware in the same games, like 2x or something)

[Denis W. Veteran]

Brilliant idea! Play as the badass I'll-beat-them-with-my-own-fists Australian. :rofl:

Quantum's FPS config seems to be the one they're using. It comes in two versions but obviously you'll be wanting the high FPS one. There's a thread and more information about it here. Hope it helps :)

WTH....the heavy + medic at the end :o then the spy at the very end (look around the soldier when the scout throws the rocket launcher) :p

[+Majesticmerc MVC]

I don't want to sound ungrateful, but that was sort of disappointing. I was expecting a rendition of the whole song with each part being done by a different class/class pair. Not that I don't appreciate how much work obviously went into it.

[null.]

Fantastic video, brilliant animation. Like Majesticmerc, I did think it was going to be longer. Still amazing though.

[Denis W. Veteran]

Yeah, that video could've been longer. With so much going on at once I had to rewatch the video a couple of times.

Still pretty cool though :p

[Minifig]

Watch it here... instead of on Kotaku..

Is there a difference?

[Ayepecks]

Nope. Just easier to view by not having to click the link, I guess.

[Denis W. Veteran]

Despite that video's shortness it's full of funny small things. Notice what happens right after the music cuts out. Also have a look at the spy in the team picture :p

[Minifig]

Is there a difference?

Sheer laziness for the win? :laugh:

[Mathachew Veteran]

Bidwell's Big Plan

[Nagisan]

Nice, polycount + trading on the way then, hopefully the reveals will start this week (possibly later today?), knowing Valve its all still a few weeks away though.
