Team Fortress 2 thread V2: The Gun Mettle update is LIVE

You can only trade gifts that are still unopened gifts.

Just got this gem of expert advice from a Medic healing me on Arena:

“Dude, Noble, you don’t turn around as a Heavy. You just keep shooting straight ahead of you.”

Guy was dead serious too. Also didn’t take the Sandvich I threw at him beforehand when he was on low health.

Yeah and there is a lot of pressure being a Brass Beast heavy that tries to either take down a wave of enemies at once, or fail miserably in front of everyone.

Yeah, I can understand what he’s saying when I’m trying to mow down a group of enemies, but sometimes you just have to quickly peek behind you for Spies and the like. Especially when I’m protecting my Medic. Either that, or he should’ve told me about the Demoman behind us that blew both of us up.

Another Update:

The sniper rifle looks like the rail driver from Red Faction

Where’s my GEP GUN, Dragon’s Tooth (for Demoknight) and Rusty Metal Skull Gun? This update suuuuuuuuucks

Those look pretty cool…especially the Engineer ones.

Welp, there’s your “Nailgun” for the Engie. Seems like some of this stuff, especially the Engie stuff, is what the community has been asking for for a long time. At least a good portion of it, anway.

Oh, and has anyone been getting the Respawn Glitch lately? Last time I played, I’d have weird moments where the respawn timer would count down, then reset. Only way to correct it was to switch teams and back or re-connect. Other people were getting it, too.

And I wonder what the DOTA 2 promo items will be.

TF2 hats in DOTA 2 of course, just like Portal 2

Well, the Machina is annoying as a Medic healing a buddy. I can say that much. Looks like I’ll be learning to dodge even more than usual, seeing as you can’t really hide behind whoever you’re healing against it.

There’s currently a glitch that allows the Machina to damage UberCharged opponents…that’s fucked up.

Demon Hunter Warglaives for the Spy, I would fucking love that lol.

Whoa… At least tomorrow’s a Friday, so I want have to deal with that over the weekend hopefully. Stuff like that gets patched quickly.

And oh hey, Heavy Bionic ARRRRRRRMMM

FRIDAY EDIT: Well, no patch. Also, found this on the TF2 Wiki:

The Machina may randomly fire two bullets, with one bullet firing towards the intended target, and the other firing a few degrees higher at a diagonal angle out of the barrel.

Here is a hilarious griefing video from Team GRN. Anyone follow these guys? I kind of like them more than the Team Roomba guys because they have a more down-to-earth, heartwarming way of showing us how they piss people off. It’s hard to explain, but they seem more intriguing to me than other griefers.

3:56 had me dying XD

I had a good laugh at the HL2 zombie sounds with that hat, but I prefer griefing through in-game bugs/tactics. Team Roomba was one of the big reasons I started playing this damn game. Coupon Bug dot com Coupon Bug dot com Coupon Bug dot com

new update today:

happy birthday quake TF
and some bug fixes and modifications to the bots

99% TF2 players probably has no idea what the old TF is.

I DO. 2TECH4, HAVOC32B, ROCK, SPAZ4 FTW. Stopped playing it in 1998 when people moved to Action Quake2 and Tribes.

Back 15 years ago it was just a few mundane classes and nail bombs and grenades that it was so popular for (since Eraser was a hot shit movie at the time inspiring all sorts of FPS crap). Everyone ripped those off

also of note:
they gave everyone the first hat ever put in tf2 (the party hat)
and an infinite use “party!” themed noise maker (with the holiday restriction: tf2 birthday)

infinite use means expect so much obnoxious noise based hilarity

Was conc jumping in the original Quake TF?

Also, they didn’t fix the Machina bugs?

  1. yes
  2. Maybe, I’ve only ever shot one bullet as far as i’ve tried with the machina rifle as far as i’ve seen.
  3. lol we were playing yesterday. what a freaking small world.
