Rocket Jumper + Gunboats + pain train = Stupid fun. I dont even neen the Gunboats but I just rub that in 2 Fort Sniper's faces

Yeah, it's good fun until an engineer wisens up and sets up a sentry to stop you. Then you go back and blow it up as a demo. Wash, rinse, repeat. ;)

Better yet, how about being on a team that's so incompetent they allow the enemy team to get up two wrangled sentries on both sides with snipers guarding each one.

Whats the point of that? Rocket Jumper = no rocket damage therefore no need to reduce self rocket damage with gunboats, might as well use the shotgun so you at least have backup if you have a smart enemy.

"[unlock Problem!]: You cannot use both the Holy Mackerel and the Bonk Atomic Punch together due to stability issues!"

Same message with crit cola. Strange, it was fine last time i used the set.

Is that from Steam/Valve, or from the server? Didn't the last patch log said they fixed a scout exploit that crashed servers? If so (I may be wrong) but what you are seeing is most likely a server mod blocking that combination because the owners haven't realize it's been fixed.

I doubt its a message from Valve though, they would fix it and not block it all together.

Because its stupid fun telling them I have gunboats and the rocket jumper together killing them with the pain train (more damage from bullets) or frying pan.

Despite the fun gained by killing inferior opponents, I simply do not have enough fun doing so to stand playing on 2fort or any other 24/7 server. Honestly though, you have fun killing people unable to kill a soldier using a melee weapon and taking more damage from (most) ranged weapons? 2fort on its own is bad enough to cancel out the amount of fun I would have in doing so....

I have 2 spare Degreasers and 2 series 1 crates if anyone wants to trade a polycount weapon for each (already have GRU, Shortstop, Mackerel, Mad Milk, Degreaser, and the Vita-saw, looking for soldier/pyro unlocks mostly).

I also got 2 nametags, any good names for the scattergun/shortstop or the rocket launcher?

I play on other maps trying to win and sometimes play around on others like 2 Fort. But more importantly, dude its just a game.

I know, but I prefer my prey to at least put up somewhat of a fight, that way when I beat them it feels like I did a good job, not just "Hmmm, another one bites the dust"....it just wouldn't have the same feeling, preying on helpless 24/7 2fort snipers for free kills...

There is no vintage vita-saw, the vintage items were items found BEFORE the polycount pack, the vita-saw was added with the polycount pack.

Ah. I thought it was released prior.

I have a vintage jarate I can give for it, but not much else. :/

I don't see why the "vintage" weapons are desired, unless you're a super new player.

Hats I can understand, but the "vintage" weapons have been handed out since the first class update.

I don't see why buttons or stamps are desired by so many, but they are.

In short, collectors. Vintage weapons use different colored text for the name, and they have Vintage added to the front. Anyone who wants to collect Vintage weapons are therefore going to pay more for them then they are worth. Same reason I will not pay more than a polycount weapon is worth when trying to get one....I am not a collector, I am not willing to overpay just because someone else thinks its worth more.

Today, Valve said that community content creators Rob Laro, Shawn Spetch, Steven Skidmore, Spencer Kern and Shaylyn Hamm took home initial royalty payments ranging from $39,000 to $47,000 each from the first round of Team Fortress 2 content creation. And these are just the checks from the first few weeks of operation.

    • You pay just $100 per TB with this rare 4TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD deal by Sayan Sen SSDs and GPUs are incredibly hard to get nowadays due to high pricing. Discounts are quite rare which is why we report on them as soon as we spot a good deal. For example AMD's new 9070 GRE was finally up for sale at a very good price of just $500 thanks to a special coupon. Sadly that deal is gone but if you happen to be looking for a 4TB NVMe SSD and can spend around $400 there is a really good offer on sale that you should not miss out on as TeamGroup's 4TB G50 model is on sale for that that price which means you are only paying $100 per TB, a very good deal in the current market (purchase link under the specs table down below). The TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe SSD is a PCIe Gen4 drive and as such it promises to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 5,000 MB/s, helping accelerate game loading, file transfers, and everyday computing tasks. Since this is a 4TB drive you can use it for a gaming library to take advantage of things like DirectStorage. The SSD features an InnoGrit controller and SLC caching technology to support consistent performance. An ultra-thin, patented graphene heatsink is included to aid in heat dissipation. Get it at the link below: Team Group T-FORCE G50 4TB Internal SSD (TM8FFE004T0C129): $449.99 + $50 off w/ promo code SSF69668, limited offer => $39.99 (Sold and Shipped by Newegg US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • I agree. I also think Phil stayed too long. They should definitely fire whoever thought all a console platform needed was Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout to survive. Asha and crew are still saying they need more Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. They simply don't get it.
    • Macbook Air is an appealing option, as are plethora of Windows devices with various different CPU's
    • Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap by Sayan Sen Last month Mozilla confirmed that Firefox was set to get a major redesign this year. Dubbed "Project Nova", it can already be tested and will roll out to all users later this year.The idea is to keep the browser competitive in a rapidly evolving internet landscape. As such the revamp focuses on improving privacy, usability, performance, accessibility, and customization. Key privacy features including the built-in VPN, private browsing mode, and Enhanced Tracking Protection, will be more visible and easier to manage, while users will have the option to disable AI features entirely through a dedicated kill switch. Additionally, the redesign promises faster page loading, the return of Compact mode, expanded personalization options, and stronger accessibility support. You can find the full details in the dedicated piece linked above. In a new blog post today the company once again reiterated on Nova and also emphasized other new and upcoming features like the settings revamp that is intended to make it easier for users to understand browser settings. In order to make it simpler for users to keep up with such features Mozilla today is launching Firefox roadmap. Hence enthusiasts and interested users will be able to check out what's cooking and also share feedback about the upcoming additions. Alongside the roadmap announcement, Mozilla also highlighted what's new in Firefox 152. One of the biggest additions is the arrival of Tab Groups on Android. The feature, which has already been helping desktop users organize large numbers of tabs, is now beginning to roll out on mobile. Users will be able to group related tabs together, assign names and colors to them, and return to them later. Mozilla says support for iOS will arrive later this year. Firefox 152 also introduces the aforementioned redesigned Settings experience. The company says the changes are meant to make controls easier to find and help users discover features they may not have previously known about. Existing preferences are not changing, though they are now better organized. Another notable addition is the new Blocked Tracker Widget, which provides a visual overview of Firefox's privacy protections by showing how many trackers have been blocked over time and the types of tracking activity the browser has stopped. Looking ahead, Mozilla revealed several upcoming roadmap features. They include customizable keyboard shortcuts, as well as enhanced PDF editing tools that will allow documents to be split, merged, and reorganized directly within Firefox. The company is also working on bringing Multi-Account Containers into the native Firefox experience thus removing the need for a separate extension. Meanwhile Firefox's built-in VPN is set to expand to mobile devices. Mozilla is also developing AI-powered features like Quick Answers, which can provide concise responses to voice queries, and Smart Window, its optional AI browsing experience that is now available without a waitlist. Finally, a new Power Saving Mode is in the works and will help reduce the impact of resource-heavy tabs on mobile devices in order to extend battery life. The video below summarizes the upcoming changes in an easy to understand format: You can find the announcement blog post here on Mozilla's official website.
