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.

    • DriversCloud 12.1.6 by Razvan Serea With DriversCloud (formerly My-Config.com), you can explore your computer easily, safely and free. The application quickly scans your PC and identifies the hardware and software components. DriversCloud then establishes a list of the different drivers compatible with your OS and hardware. Download the drivers needed for the proper functioning of your computer. To detect your drivers, DriversCloud also displays a detailed summary of your hardware and software configuration, analyzes your BSOD, monitors in real-time your PC voltages and temperatures and lets you share your configuration online. Once the hardware components have been detected, you will be able to obtain with just a few clicks the latest drivers corresponding to the identified hardware. You can record your configuration on the site for free, and can get the corresponding URL to post the configuration to technical forums, e-mail and social networks. You can also download the detection result (the configuration) as a PDF file. To protect the user's privacy and data confidentiality, a 4-level confidentiality system was created that filters the XML marks and gives control to the user. The default level can be modified in the preferences. Using the maximum level will prevent the user from publishing his configuration and generating a corresponding PDF file. In non-connected mode, each XML configuration is stored on the server for one day (for practical reasons). However, you are given the opportunity to manually delete it. Created in 2004, and continually improved, My-Config.com has established itself on the web as a free service to PC users running Windows and Linux operating systems. The service is designed to work with the most common Internet browsers (Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari).
