lmfao
all u do is pull out your disguise kit, crouch and look up? That’s fucking hilarious!
Yeah, you can do a similar thing with the Demoman where you take out your bottle, crouch, look up, then walk around while swinging it. FOr some reason it’s called the Pimp Demo.
But Spycrabbing is the classic.
You guys have any set times you play? I saw the channel earlier in the thread.
I play all classes but mainly Heavy and Demo.
I’ve been hopping on a lot more as of late, due to the whole joblessness bullshit. I’ll probably just stick to the server that was posted earlier, and just hope to see you guys pop on 
I need to play this more. I have had this for years, and barely played it. That, and my copy of L4D2.
This list is very close to what we were considering. Even though we aren’t big fans of Granary/Freight we understand the community likes them and they are actually pretty good maps. The only thing we’re thinking is adding koth_nucleus and viaduct. I don’t think we’ll be running with custom maps for a while, seeing as how there’s a bunch of new players that will be getting in and I’d rather them just deal with vanilla shit at first. Eventually when we have a bunch of good regulars we might implement some customs.
That said, I always love playing a good game of cashworks.
Please no custom maps, theres enough quality official TF2 maps to not need to go with fan ones.
I like that set of maps, the only one I think is missing is koth_nucleus and also PL_goldrush. goldrush is overplayed a bit but its really fun, even if badwater is a bit more popular
Thank Iren…I posted the server to the first post.
I’ll post it of the Steam Group page if that’s cool with you…
Of course! And any server vets that have tips please let me know. My brother and I are totally noob to running servers and we’re kinda just doing a bunch of research right now.
I haven’t played TF2 since the WAR! update, and the recent Uber/F2P update has me getting back into the fray, and I am enjoying myself very much. I never got to mess around with all of those new weapons that have come out since the WAR! update, and I’ve still got a lot more to get. At least I got the Degreaser for Pyro. Ahhh…so fun being able to quickly switch to the Axtinguisher after dousing an opponent in flames.
Besides that, the drop rate for me has been pretty nice. I’ve wanted to try the new Scout items, and they actually dropped for me; all three of em! Shame they all seem kinda outclassed by the other Scout weapons…except the triple-jumping bat. I even got a few hats to drop! 'Guess the game’s grateful to have my average ass back. Now hopefully the drop gods grace me with the new Demoknight weapons…
Wow…why is it my drop rate is horrible compared to the rest of you guys?
I realize I am a horrible soldier.
Yeah, I still need the axtinguisher. I still suck too much to properly switch weapons mid battle. Hell, I still can’t properly use rocket jumping for anything decent besides getting on top of certain buildings. I also hate the Direct Hit rocket launcher 
I read that the item drops are completely random, but have to do with a certain number of drops for you, distributed over a week:

I have YET to get a single hat, aside from that Hallowe’en one. And as for item drops, I have next to NO good ones, with the exception of the Brass Beast for my Heavy, something to change my item description, and a handful of soldier stuff. I keep getting fucking crappy Spy stuff and damn crates to drop too. I’d LOVE to get something badass just once, lol.
I am hoping the summer crate will NOT require me spending money to open
You have to spend money to unlock them…unless you can trade for a key.
I’m usually the off one out, in that I love most koth maps and dislike most pl maps. That being said, here are things I always vote for:
cp_badlands
cp_coldfront
cp_granary
cp_gravel pit
cp_fastlane
ctf_turbinepro (much better than the original … not nearly so easy to turtle)
koth_badlands
koth_nucleus
koth_viaduct
koth_lakeside (a custom, but a really good one)
pl_badwater (probably the only pl map I enjoy)
Settings-wise, I like everything vanilla (12 v 12, standard respawn, etc), just with crits off. I don’t mind crits, but I definitely prefer playing without them.
Does anyone here ever play MGE training? It’s basically 1v1 dueling, first to 20 kills. When a player dies, health and ammo are reset for both players and the fight continues. It’s mostly just training for soldiers, demos and scouts, but it’s a real good way to level up, skillwise, if you play any of those classes.
Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kP-6tvuCuhk
That’s from a recent MGE tournament.
Yeah, when I mentioned I got multiple hats, two of them were actually from those refreshing summer crates, which required the purchase of keys, which I bought. I think that the only things in those crates are just aesthetic items. I got a Pyro hat, which is a just a boot that goes over his head, and I got a non-hat for the Heavy which is a mean looking metal jaw. I DID actually get a free hat via random drop, which was the Pyro sombrero.
Gah. I hope I don’t encounter crates that often. It’s nice to get nifty items from them, but at $2.50 a key? Sheesh…
MGE training is fun. I usually only play Soldier in it though, cause Scout takes effort.
Too bad I lost the IP address to the chicago server.
I believe you’re limited to ten drops per week. It’s to prevent idling.
Man, that bat (Atomizer) is really annoying to fight against, especially as a Heavy. I was getting crossed up (lol) over and over again by some Scout who kept tripling jumping around and over my head. He eventually killed me with a sliver of his health left. Pixels, if I want to keep up the fighter terminology.
Yep. It’s been recognized so much, Valve made it an actual taunt in a later update. Just pull out your disguise kit and press G (default taunt).
was this before the cigarette smoking?
edit: yeah a scout with decent items becomes a fucking wrecking ball!!!
edit #2: how do you get items back that you crafted, if they’re achievement ones? I used my engineer’s Frontier Justice in crafting, accidentally Do they ever randomly drop again, now that I’ve “unlocked” them?
Yes, no worries.
Got the Quick-fix through a new-weapon trade. Can’t wait to try it 
If anyone here has got a new weapon I don’t have, I’d be happy to give my spare Family Business for it.
