Yup, the 10-15 spwn time is just right. I definitely use that notion tactically, to break up rushes.

And as for spawn killing, I've always had the problem with pyros hiding and flaming upon exit, which was always a pain in the ass because I switch to the Medigun immediately to start charging whomever, and am really caught off guard.

Just had a GREAT soldier round on Gravelpit (while on red)......25 kills and 5 dominations in 1 life....total of 3k dmg (my previous best was 2.3k as pyro but nowhere near that amount of kills). Lasted the entire time BLU has on Gravelpit including the extra time from capping A, without dying. I ended the round 28-0....joined late and got 3 points when my team was on BLU before it ended all without dying.

Funny thing is I only have 22.7 hours as soldier....chances are thats the best I'll ever do as soldier, but it blows the most kills and dominations I have ever had before (as a scout main) out of the water.

I apologize if this has already been discussed in this thread. I just don't feel like digging thru 151 pages. ;)

When I try to install the game, it completes without problem. When I log into Steam, it starts redownloading the game.

I first thought it was just my discs that sucked, but I used a different pair and it's redownloading again.

Has something changed recently? I remember installing it on my Mac a few weeks back (via CrossOver which sucks) and it worked fine.

Any help in the next 20 minutes before it gets done dl'ing, is appreciated. :)

New update coming: Classless Update :D

Can't wait, 18 new hats :) Maybe now I'll get one!

Yeah, youll get the one you need the least. :p

Installing from disc? You sure it isnt just updating? There has been lots of stuff added since those discs were printed. Atleast id think that.

Yeah, I have the 2 DVD install discs.

It's downloading at 632KB/s, at 62%, and been going for about 15 minutes now.

If it's an update, it must be huge. haha

Doesn't matter how many new hats they add if they don't make a way for us to get them other than RNG. In fact, the more they add (without changing the drop rate) the less chance there is you'll get the one you want. :pinch:

RNG = Random Number Generator

Yup, there is a higher chance of getting A hat (assuming the chance to get a hat is rolled separately and not 0.05% or change to get a single hat each roll) with more hats, but a lower chance of getting a specific hat you want. I personally think they will reveal the trading system with this update, that way you CAN trade for the hats you want. Why else would they add 18 new hats if people are going to complain about the RNG and no way to trade for a hat they want. Then again you could say the same thing about the original hats and RNG.....

I am personally hoping for the trade system and a way to influence the RNG (such as more play-time as one class, or your current class even, gives you a higher chance of getting a hat belonging to that class). Seeing as they still have 3 days of updates (assuming it stays on schedule with other non-dual class updates) they still have 3 major things to announce (major as in a new game mode, or a bunch of new items, or a trade system or influence system).

They obviously have lots of new content if they are doing a weekly (assuming it follows the other large updates) reveal for an update that contains NO class updates (if they aren't hiding a class update, that is).

    • The GEEKOM A8 mini PC is 20% off (lower than Prime Day pricing) plus Huge Storewide Sale by Steven Parker GEEKOM is back with a deal on a variant of its A8 Mini PC powered by AMD's Ryzen 7 8945HS, which came out in 2024 with a TDP of just 45W, with a base clock of 3.8 GHz and a Turbo Boost of 4.9 GHz; although we never reviewed this variant, we did check out the Ryzen 9 version. As a reminder of what you get, below are the specifications for this Mini PC. GEEKOM A8 Dimensions 112.4 mm x 112.4 mm x 37 mm Weight 450g CPU Ryzen 7 8745HS (8 cores, 16 threads, 16MB L3 cache, 3.8 - 4.9 GHz, TDP: 45 W) cTDP: 35-54W (Default 45W) Graphics AMD Radeon™ 780M Graphics 12 RDNA 3 Graphics Cores 2700MHz 768 shading units / stream processors (12 CUs), 48 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs NPU XDNA architecture (Up to 16 NPU TOPS) Memory 16GB Dual-channel Crucial DDR5-5600MT/s SODIMM (up to 64GB) Storage 1TB NVMe M.2 (PCIe Gen 4.0 x4) Operating System Windows 11 Pro Bluetooth Bluetooth v5.2 Wireless LAN Wi-Fi 6E Kensington Lock No SD Card reader Yes (left side) Adapter 120W, 6.32A, 19V Power Adapter Front I/O Ports 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A 1 x 3.5mm front stereo headset jack Rear I/O Ports 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A 1 x USB 4 Gen 3 Type-C with Power delivery up to 15W (5V 3A) 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C 1 x USB 2.0 Type-A 2 x HDMI 2.0b 1 x 2.5G RJ45 LAN 1 x DC-in Deal Price $519 (buying links below) GEEKOM has two configurations of the A8, with the only difference being the slightly less-powerful Ryzen 7 CPU with half the storage (1TB) and DDR5 memory (16GB). This knocks $350 off the price compared to the $999 Ryzen 9 configuration. In both instances, a Windows 11 Pro license is also pre-loaded. As I said previously, this appears to be an update on the A7 with the only difference being the newer CPU. The packaging has changed quite a bit from the A7. Instead of dark colors, now the box is completely white, and the foam cushion has been replaced by a cardboard mould that the A8 sits in, above a small envelope that contains a thank you card and booklet that has guidance on all of the controls, how to access the A8 to swap out the SSD or memory, and safety information in several European languages. Upon removing the cardboard mould, you can find another cardboard compartment that contains the power lead, HDMI cable, VESA plate, and a bag of screws. What’s In The Box 1 x A8 Mini PC 1 x Power Adapter 1 x HDMI Cable 1 x VESA plate and bag of screws 1 x Envelope with booklet and Thank you card Unlike the A7, the VESA mount option is back with the A8.
