Anyone out there has got Team Fortress 2?

[Grandy]

 I do. Let's talk pointless things about it here.

[zuhane]

Yes, yes, yes and yes!

Favourite game ever. Stacked up over 400 hours play time! Here's a list of fun things to try:

1. Try and get a moonshot with the Sandman by hitting the ball upwards and letting it land on an enemy backwards.
2. Try deflecting arrows at other enemies as the Pyro.
3. If a Demoknight runs at you with a sword and targe and you're an Engineer, building a dispenser in fron of you causes his charge to stray off at an angle so you can murder him!

That was a pretty short list. But yeah, what's your favourite class? I love Medic and Pyro!

[Grandy]

My favorite class? Spy.

...

Yeah, I'm usually useless to my team. That's why while my favorite class is Spy, I have over twice the ammount of hours as an Engineer. Third favorite class is Pyro. Least favorite is Scout.


 I love Spy's Cloak 'n' Dagger and the fact I can sit around behind enemies lines and they won't even know it until I kill them. Or die by a stray rocket, which is embarassingly common.


 BTW, I don't have anyone in my friends list, so come on people, let's all be friends.

I actually never played this game or the first one

Noticeable. Pyros are well known for being the easiest class to use since you don't really need to aim with them.

I'd like to get the game, but my computer is so great it would probably be barely playable. I'll wait until I can get a computer upgrade and maybe I'll give it a try, considering the various positive things I've and lack of negative I've heard about it.

I've always wondered...

was there even a first Team Fortress? Like, really.

Totally obvious.

Anyways, I'm an unstoppable Heavy, but I barely play as one. Too easy. I end up spending most of my time as a Soldier or a Medic, since I'm both awesome at playing them, and my team usually needs them (well, the Medic, anyway). I used to be a fantastic Spy, but after being inactive for so long, I've fallen into a rut. Not too bad at the other classes, either. Not a great Sniper, but I can at least manage to be useful. I prefer five-point neutral CP maps. I don't like being stuck on purely attack or defense; it hampers my play-style. I'm pretty good, I think. I spend a lot of time in the top part of the scoreboard.

I've always wondered...

Yeah, there was. Why would there be a Team Fortress 2 if there wasn't a first instrument? For the sake of Valve-continuity, we'll say Team Fortress Classic is the "first" game, but I believe it was originally a mod for Quake. There were a lot of "fortress" mods coming out at the time, many of which involved the original team. Valve bought those guys up, let them build a retail version on their engine, and had them start work on a sequel. It took them forever, and everyone thought it was doomed to be vaporware. It released, and quickly became one of the most popular PC multiplayer FPSes.

History lesson's done.

I thought the first team fortress was a mod thingy for Half life. I have a slight memory of there being a screen where I could play some ricochet, desperado or team fortress mode.

[Bluhman]

I am weird, and play too much scout. I play soldier like I jus don't care, and play a weirdly defensive pyro, trying to deflect rockets and putting out anyone I find on fire. Speaking of scout, there are certainly several times where I've hopped over heavies just to shotgun them several times in the head and kill them.

Zuhane's tip about blocking a demoknight with a dispenser reminds me of a time where I actually managed to kill one with the scattergun right as he was about to hit me.

Oh no, no, no! It takes a noob to run forward and hold M1, which can easily be stopped.

It takes skill to deflect grenades, rockets, jarate, flares and arrows, extinguish team mates, save sentries from stickies and
grenades, hit people at long distance with the Flare gun by predicting their movement patterns, and airblast people up, flare gun them,
then axtinuguish them! That takes skill! :p

[Grandy]

Call me a noob. I use the Backburner.

[Bluhman]

Backburner sucks. What'cha gonna do when an uber duo goes charging towards you and your team? 

[Grandy]

Wait until the uber is over and ambush the Heavy from behind.

[Bluhman]

This should be able to tell you if you can play... Pretty much any PC game you plan on getting.

Air juggling and an insta-kill weapon doesn't take skill. Really, there's nothing about the Pyro that takes skill.

**** yeah. Minum settings match. Except fo the CPU speed, but its just a lil bit behind. And my video card fails on most "Recommended" settings. x]

It's hard not to be able to run the game. There are so many tweaks and custom model packs out there that you can get it running on almost anything. As the joke goes, you can run it on a toaster. And hey, worst-case scenario, you get a cheap graphics card, and go to town. A card that can run this game costs about as much as the game itself.
