Is there any kind soul that could provide me with a RIFT Well Spun Hat Claim Code please?

I think you need to get the Riftwalker achievement ("Kill an enemy within 5 seconds of you traveling through an Engineer's teleporter.") for that. Not sure how hard it is to get it.

I ain't a TF2 player so I thought I'd ask here to all the pros out here =P

That achievement is easy to get. But I sent you the code anyways. Check your PMs

Thanks guys, someone just sent me one, you guys rox :)

I don't suppose you happen to really love the Trophy Belt, Pugilists Protector or Bombing Run eh? :p

Nope :p

I like the Medic Goggles. I'll trade you a Vintage Fancy Fedora for it.

Sure. I think you're on my Steam friends list, but if not it's the same name as here.

Nope. I can recall seeing a number of threads and posts complaining about Lotus across the TF2 community.

While I will conceed that they may not use premium, they are known for terrible childish admins and underhand tactics such as faking playercount and redirect servers.

Well I can tell you right now without a doubt that that "premium" stuff you are talking about is not happening on the TF2 servers that LotusClan runs, maybe in the past before my time (1 year) but I wouldn't be playing on a server like that if they were allowing premium members to have advantages.

Is there a way to see what percentage of items you own in your backpack? (repeats wouldn't be relevant, of course).

I have crafted many things and I'm curious to see if I have a majority of all items available or not :p

Following Team Fortress 2 re-launching as a completely free-to-play title, the team-based FPS has been gaining more attention by the minute. The surge of players joining the Team Fortress 2 community has been so wide-spread that the title has done something that many considered simply impossible.

It's overtaken Counter-Strike as Steam's most played game.

According to statistics from Steam's website, Team Fortress 2 at this moment in time has 96,675 players online. Its peak count for today has been just a little shy of 98,000. Counter-Strike, on the other hand, currently has 58,245 players online, with the peak count being 65,420. And Team Fortress 2's player count is continuing to increase.

We've contacted Valve to get their reaction on this news, and will update this space when or if they respond. In the meantime, enjoy the recently released Team Fortress 2 free-to-play announcement trailer.

There have been quite a few games that have surpassed CS player count wise lately. CoD games at launch/post launch as mentioned above me certainly come to mind. Terraria at one point a couple of weeks ago had over 100,000 players. It's certainly not a new news story that a game has surpassed CS in players. Don't know why they are making a big thing of it?

I got one tonight actually. Any clue as to what will be in them?

One rumor is about a Hawaiian hat gift..but I'm leaning more towards a similar Holiday crate type deal. This falls in the same amount of days we saw it before Xmas and the keys were givin to us on that day as a gift. This is Valves way of giving us Red, White and Blue keys to open em or something along those lines on the 4th of July. The Crates expire the same amount of days as the festive crates did too being on the 11th of July or 7 days later as they did on Xmas to New Years.

My only question is are they going to be worth as much as the Series 6 when they turn into regular crates!?!? Series #6 are very expensive to trade considering they have the highest drop rate of 2% for an unusual.

I'm collecting as many as I can from people in hopes this is true later on...ya just never know right now.

Since the game went free, a handful of my real life friends have now been drawn into the game. (Y)

Steam and Team Fortress aren't finding me any servers when I search for them... I only get stuff on my favorites that I can refresh, but it won't find any servers via search. Anyone else having this problem or know how to fix?

Coincidentally, earlier tonight I was unable to find any Left 4 Dead 2 servers. Perhaps this was a similar issue.

I have been playing quite a bit since last week, probably put a good 35 or 40 hours in since I started playing again. And I've gotten 1 damn thing to drop so far, and it was that Demo sword (and I already had it). You'd think for "premium" people they'd increase the drop rate for items (I never thought I'd say that about an FPS game lol) or at least tweak it a bit so things drop that you don't have already.

Either way, I'm already not feeling it again in regards to the game. I usually play Pyro, Demo or Engy (depending on the situation/map) and I'd much rather get item drops I could use than random hats I could care less about or crap items I have to scrap or trade around :|

Maybe TF2 is just beyond me at this point I don't know. I really have hated the direction they took with the game ever since release really (though the game was much better imo at launch than now) but I AM giving it a bigger chance now since it's free and way more people are playing it. I figure now is a good time to try to get into it heh.

This game is really hard to play against people who have gotten the weapon drops/crafted. I'm stuck on the "stock" weapons and trying to kiill someone with the Black Box for example, is near impossible! Really dislike that weapon.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
