Team Fortress 2

[Canama]

I am fully aware that I am the only one here who plays TF2, but I feel like starting this topic anyways. Maybe I can get someone else to play too.

Team Fortress 2 is a free-to-play online multiplayer first-person shooter made by Valve. It was released in 2007 and continues to be updated to this day. (Well, the PC/Mac version does. The PS3/360 versions, which are NOT free-to-play, have gotten like 3 updates ever and lack things like unlockable weapons.) It can be downloaded easily via Steam.

The game is based, as the name suggests, on teams. There are two teams, RED (Short for Reliable Excavation & Demolition) and BLU (Builder's League United). Both contain nine mercenaries, employed by companies that, while seemingly innocuous (Look at the names! Just construction companies, right?), actually each control half of the word.

There are nine classes (Each one of the different mercenaries is a class). They are Scout, Soldier, Pyro, Demoman, Heavy, Engineer, Medic, Sniper, and Spy. Each has a very distinct playstyle, which is exacerbated by the large number of unlockable weapons that let you tailor your characters in a way that best suits you.

It is also ridiculously fun.

Discuss. (Or don't, since none of you have the game. )

Eh, it's not like it requires a significant time investment.

I'd join, if I had the space. Problem is totally that, as I don't entirely foresee that changing permanently very soon. =P Though, if I actually get through some things, I should have a lot more space.

[KnownandUnknown]

I'll join you when my computer is able to meet the recommended requirements (I wish I could play though, I have been for a long while)

MANN. VERSUS. MACHINE.

That is all.

I've been playing recently; and it is definitely fun for me.

Most fun is getting blown up quite a few times, and then switching to Pyro, and setting everyone on the other team on fire. On an instant respawn server yesterday, I managed to set almost the entire team on fire, before finally getting taken down. xD

"Whoa, how many people did I just ignite? xD"
"A lot."

Also, Mann Vs. Machine sounds very intriguing, can't wait for tomorrow's update.

I am almost at spymaster, need 17 more backstabs or so. Only have 250 on my strange knife though. TF2 isn't letting me change my spy loadout though =\

The item server's up and down tonight. It's barely up right now, I think.

Also, add me(BZP Blade), wagner; I need to actually fight some of you guys sometime. xD

Yeah. Take note that the "item server" seems to be the same as the "Steam Community server", so they typically share downtimes.

Expect item server downtime when the Steam Community update comes out.

[Blade]

Well, I believe the item server's been down more tonight than the Steam Community site has, but typically, that is indeed true. I do expect downtime, and might take a break, especially if it breaks items.

I still can use my custom items, I am just currently with y.e.r. enforcer and invisiwatch, which is okay. I prefer both cnd and dead ringer to invisiwatch with y.e.r.

I normally use Ambassador, A strange Knife, and Invisiwatch, though I switch to enforcer when I am aiming poorly. What loadouts do you all like for your favorite class?

I am going to try to get a strange ambassador, though I haven't seen anything selling for below 3ref. I got the knife for one ref, which isn't a bad price. I have currently around 1ref worth of weapons which I am willing to trade (and maybe smelt sometime in the future) so if you want a specific weapon I may have it/be willing to trade it.

Blade, when I search bzp blade no results =\ Also my mom may not be too keen on me adding people I don't know in real life, though I am sure we can play sometime =P

2. Well, I don't really have much yet, having just started a few weeks ago, but

3. Silly question I'm sure, but what are refs? Refined Metals?

4. Hmm, that's odd, I wonder why it did that...(Did it to myself the other day, when I tried to find my own profile) You could find me through the MLNO group, I'm the one with Wheatley as the avatar. =P Fair enough, though, about the second point. =P

3. Yes, they are equal to 18 weapons


I am going to be on 204.62.13.231:27035 (which is a custom map so there is a dl, and there are a lot of crits) for a bit. Taking a break

got spymaster

[Blade]

3. Thought so. *Nods*

Sorry, didn't see that. =/

[.]

I'll be back on for a bit, on the server I posted earlier, though I am content joining a different server of your choice.

[Blade]

What's the server name, if you know it? I haven't actually tried outside connections yet. =P

[.]

Convict gaming minecraft 7 or something along those lines. I think there is 100% crits or something goofy like that, but it is a cool map and is fun.

[Blade]

yeah, I can't join you yet; don't have the right map. =/

[.]

if you find another server I'll join it. currently have to some summer homework, which I don't have much left of
