Yeah my d/l rate got absolutely raped.
God yes so is mine, they got Torchlight for 3 bucks now 3 fucking bucks. Mind you I bought it at full price :(. God my wallet has been raped this last couple of days.
Word, took me like 2 days to download my games. Of course I downloaded 30 of them.
Gorge please!!!
I wanna know who The Doctor was…some kid I played, I feigned death with my Spy, he laughs about my ‘suicide’ in his mic, then I proceed to uncloak and stab him and the 3 people with him to death, from behind…
I could hear his brain trying to rationalize what had just happened to him
Trying to get back into this, loved playing it. Any good channels that use HLStats? I used to play on GibsRUs mainly. I’ll have to check if they still around.
You talking cp_gorge or cp_5gorge? I think we’re going to have vanilla gorge on the server, but not 5gorge. 5gorge is currently on the map rotation but we’re kinda noticing how long it is.
just regular gorge
anywho, what’s with the people who have weapons like “Deadly Rocket Launcher” or “Surprisingly Decent Shotgun”???
They’re weapons that start out with the title “Strange” (you find them in crates). As you get more kills with them, they “level up” and get cooler sounding titles. Nothing more.
Huh! Back in my day, we didn’t have achievements! We ran around killing each other without these hootenanny hats to cover our heads, and we enjoyed it! And then I read some article about “unlockable weapons” coming in an update, and I said, “Well, don’t that beat all.”
Started playing a couple months before the Goldrush Update, mind you. I feel like such an old fart.
Anyway, I’m really enjoying my new Quick-Fix. Really fun to use, and great for offensive pushes and to complement Medics using the stock Medigun/Kritz. Though you can’t neglect having overheal. Gotta have overheal.
And to my surprise, while rebuilding a bunch of hats today, I found a Team Captain. My inner M. Bison yelled the famous words, and now I have a decidedly-creepy Medic wearing a leather Plague Beak and a Dictator hat. Now if only ATF weren’t down…
Neat, I’ll add it as soon as I can. All of my usual servers are down for maintenance, I think.
Map suggestions:
cp_Badlands
cp_Gravel Pit
cp_Granary
cp_Freight
cp_Coldfront
pl_Badwater
pl_Barnblitz
pl_Upward
pl_Frontier
pl_Thunder Mountain
ctf_Doublecross
ctf_Turbine
Those are stock maps. I’ll try to pull up some custom maps later.
This site seems to be a good resource for custom maps
I want to nominate this map as the first

I remember playing that one a long time ago. It’s trippy.
Anyway, suggestions for Customs from me, for now:
cp_glacier_rc6
cp_overflow
cp_furnace_b4
pl_dbheights_b5
ctf_mach4
Forgot cp_yukon, cp_fastlane, and cp_well for stock. I know it’s a lot, but those are my suggestions.
And yeah, that’s the mapmaking community. There’re a ton fo customs that I’m forgetting.
I’ll play on any server that runs Badwater. It’s my favorite public game map by far.
Also, Turbine Pro over regular turbine imo.
Dustbowl will always be a favorite map of mine…
Spent some time on there today and yeah… it was my first real experience with the new blood since I typically play on fast spawn servers (and aren’t recommended by valve for beginners). We got snipers trying to shoot through grates, scouts using the sandman to attack heavies that are being healed by medics, and sentry guns few and far between. They haven’t really got the sense of awareness in the game, but hopefully shit will be better in the next couple of months. But I tell ya what, The People’s Gloves had their way with whoever wanted a smackdown.
Yeah, I’m still pretty nooby, but even I laugh at shit like teams with NO medic and engineer, like 6 spies or scouts, and heavy’s trying to box everything. And you have a demoman laying his bombs on the gates, rather than around them.
And I need me some fast spawn servers…waiting 17 seconds between some deaths is just retarded
Cosign. And yeah, Turbine pro.
You forgot the biggest offender: SMG BattleSnipers. Good lawd.
Anyway, I’ve gotten to help a lot of the new guys out, and they’re generally pretty respectful. Though you do get the occasional, well, scrub, that gets all defensive when you try to correct him. Oh well. I guess we all start somewhere, and that’s nothing new for fightan’ game players.
Unfortunately, that’s always been an issue, especially the Medics. That why I started maining Medic oh so long ago, besides the fact that I think he’s fun to play as. I don’t understand the boxing part though. I was healing a Hoovy today that started trying to box a Pyro when I Übered him.
Once all the new players start settling into TF2, we can reveal to them the mythical art of Civilian. Now that’s good stuff.
cp_Dustbowl and pl_Dustbowl are probably my favorite maps. Also love the Goldrush maps.
Dustbowl’s fun if there aren’t too many people. Otherwise, it gets spammy. But seeing as this server’s 20-man, it’ll be fine.
lulz all around. Boxing is fine, considering there is an achievement for that (man, there are a few achievements I should have got, but the game fucked me over…that one and the shoot 3 arrows into a dude and he lives, I’ve done several times but been denied). I play as a medic now and again, but when your teammates see you with 95% ubercharge, then just run by you, or play as spies/scouts/snipers, what can you really do???
also, wtf you talking about civilians???
also also, why the fuck are pyro’s so damn fucking OP??? SOOOO many times I’ve sat there unleashing shotty after shotty at them, or grenades, or rockets, only to watch them advance and easily burn my ass to death. If by chance I kill em, I still burn to death. More maps need water. I can honestly say I haven’t even SEEN water yet.
Civilian is a glitch where your character will stand in a neutral pose, with an expressionless face, and you can glide around. It’s really weird, and kind of stupid, but it can be fun if you get big groups of them on non-serious servers.
How to do it:
- You need to have at least one unlockable weapon for the class you want to civilian with
- Equip that unlockable in a respawn room.
- Exit the respawn room, then equip the stock version of that weapon.
- Re-enter the respawn room.
- This is the tricky part. You have to walk up to the resupply cabinet and taunt right when you activate it (the doors swing open). The timing takes a few tries.
- Your weapon will disappear and you’ll enter that neutral pose. Glide to your heart’s content.
Then there’s Spycrabbing.
Just fun stuff to do when the people you’re playing with don’t really care.
As for Pyros, you’ll learn to deal with them. There’re actually a lot of ways to put out fires: Water, Dispensers, Jarate, Sandvich (healing through it), Mad Milk, and of course, Medics. Afterburn starts becoming free Über meter if you’re a Medic and it isn’t too hectic (recently-damaged enemies build Über meter faster). Just watch your back, and if you see one coming, start backing up and firing at them. If you’re alone, it could be tricky.
