Team Fortress 2 - Heavy Update, New Maps, New Mode are all live now!

i wish well wasn’t changed from original TFC :frowning:

also hope they add a form of advanced movement. :frowning: or something. make the game faster.

Heavies on offense is scrubby as fuck pub shit.

Yo, someone send me an invite to the SRK group.

SteamID: UFGT

Btw, spies seem to be running that shit in pubs. It’s brutal.

A few notes…

  1. I’ll invite the above poster to the group. <3
  2. Heavies on offense is neccesary in certain capture situations, it just depends on what the other team has, alot this game is trying one thing and then counter teaming and such. Heavies on offense in CTF is scrubby pub shit fo sho though.
  3. Found some more good use for the pyro, any level with a tunnel just have a few pyros randomly run around the tunnels, if they are careful they can get some big damage. Also any time there is a group of people a singly pyro can often sneak in and do big damage.
  4. Engineer turrets pwn, luckily soldiers generally have the upper hand against them, so it’s not like its broken or anything, it’s just good. After playing more tonight I’m convinced this game is pretty balanced, only found one thing I really don’t like and that is…
    **5. On Gravelyard (I think thats right) you can rocket jump over the trains before the match starts, and slaughter the unexpecting before the match actually starts… GAYYYYY cause if a good soldier gets on a group of unprepared thats a few capture of the middle point which is compelely ridiculous. **
  5. Demo man is neccesary for both offense and defense, I’d say he’s a support class not stric t D (though the land mines can really easily freely control one area.
  6. As for Spy’s running shit, they are pretty good, I saw some good spies tonight who were just great at capatilizing on the chaos, very useful in tough capture situation, but really more than 1 spy in most cases is completly ridiculous and people need to try and work more for there team.
  7. Mics are sooo necessary in this game for real competive play, Mics really made my play experience a thousand times better.

Random shit that pissed me off - If a capture point is locked don’t fucking go there you stupid pieces of shit! Jesus christ what do you think that lock fucking means!!! I lost once because of this and then switched teams and people continued to be completely stupid.

Okay well thats enough for now. Hopefully we will get more srk’ers playing this awesome shit!

I take it you finally got on?


I’ll be on at random times throughout the weekend. Probably more towards the evening (EST) on Saturday, and mid-day Sunday. If anyone anticipates going on at a certain timeframe this weekend, we can try to organize some sort of event for the SRK group. I haven’t played around with the Server yet, but I’ll try to do something today or tomorrow.

I’ll be on Mid-day Sunday… and I might have a server setup by then, Im working on it right now. I could probably get enough people toeghther for an srk game or we can all try to get into the same server… If my server gets setup I’ll announce an event.

To do the pyro hadoken you just taunt as the pyro with the shotgun.

Nah. I haven’t tried to get the game working in a while. Gonna try to get it working today with a bit of computer tweaking. I was just recalling back to the TFC days where scrubs would try to HWGuy on O and it was funny as hell. I’d just rape their shit anyways.

In league play only one HWGuy was allowed per team in most (if not all) maps, and they were usually used as field defense on places with wide, open areas or areas that forked into multiple paths into the base. I suppose it’s too early to see how leagues will regulate class restrictions and what not since the game appears to be pretty different (not that I know yet lololol sigh).

Played a couple rounds last night. There’s no secondary grenades! That makes me a sad panda.

Servers with FF on and an abundance of spies is probably one of the most frustrating things ever.

This isn’t OG TF. A lot has changed. A HW guy with an ubercharged medic is pretty damn ill.

There was an update released, fixes some full screen glitches and other stuff… If you were having problems, check that shit out.

I managed to play a bit today. The game is fun, but really different. IMO it needs to be faster paced and have grenades. Longest time without crashing was about 30 mins… but I still randomly crash for no reason at all. Usually I try to play and either play for ten minutes, crash, take about 3-5 minutes trying to close TF2, and then try again. Crashes happen at complete random times or when connecting to a server.

I honestly think it’s fucking hilarious that Valve has tried to release this as a beta when the game is scheduled to be released in LESS THAN A MONTH. WHAT ARE THEY THINKING? Did they not really test this game at all? These kind of instabilities should’ve been tested months ago to assure the game is ready to be shipped bug/crash free months before release, not a mere few weeks. Knowing Valve, I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if they do typical Valve antics and delay the game again.

Once again friends, there is another new update, so make sure to get that. Here’s hoping more people can get on.

If you guys can convince me to NOT uninstall this game and avoid writing Valve an angry letter about how frustrated I am with their shoddy game that never runs for me, feel free to. I’ve about had it trying to get this game to work. I literally just spent 1.5 hours trying to join a game and play with Stormlocke. Either I completely freeze at trying to connect to a server (Steam seems to disconnect for some random shitty reason) or when I do manage to get in a game, random sounds playing at once or something of that effect will make my game crash… and this is even WHEN I FUCKING WALK OUT OF THE SPAWN POINT. Honestly, I’m FUCKING FURIOUS that I cannot get this game to run for the life of me. I’m at my breaking point. I’m at my limit. I’m seriously at a LOSS OF WORDS that this game will not run no matter what I do. All my drivers are updated, the game is running at EVERYTHING LOW QUALITY (graphics AND sound) sans for the resolution and the game STILL REFUSES TO PLAY.

I give up. I wish I never bought this piece of shit. I want my money back, but thanks to Valve’s piece of shit Steam program I can’t even resell this piece of shit box set.

get a better computer for cheap

My computer is fine unless TF2 is like some magic fucking kryptonite to my computer. Back when HL2 came out, I could run HL2 at pretty much max settings for a solid 40-60 FPS. I can run FEAR, which is more graphic intensive than HL2, at high quality settings and it runs fine. This feels like I’m trying to run Bioshock on max settings with my current rig, even though I’m running the game on the lowest settings.

Like I said, I have NO FUCKING IDEA why this game gives my computer so many problems. Unless Jesus descends from Heaven and manages to make TF2 stable, I don’t think I’m going to bother with this game anymore.

well at least come back for the after beta. We need more SRK ers to show all the pieces of crap out there how its done.

if it makes you feel better, i’m already starting to get bored. lol.

I don’t know, I’ve been having more and more fun each time I play it. So many character nuances and match-ups that matter.

This new patch seems to let me play for 5-10 minutes instead of 1-2, so I guess it’s getting better. If it is still like this after Beta, then they better get me dat money back. If my PC can run Bioshock, then it better be able to run this.

Though the small amount of time I get to play is quite fun, so I hope they fix it.

Yeah exactly. I seem to finally be finding my Niche, with Demo and Soldier. Though I can play all the classes just fine. It’s just I really know how to deal with shit with these two.

Note: Demo vs heavy with medic = run away and plant some sticky traps, you aren’t winning that head on so don’t try. I got owned up hard trying to defend the flag by myself thinking that my sticky bombs had done enough damage that I could kill the medic before the heavy got me, but nope not happening.
