tf2 is f***ing awesome.


that is all.

Shotgun replacement predictions!!!!!

Place your bets:

Super-shotgun - more damage, less ammo per clip/slower shooting speed

Grapple - grapples enemies (brings them towards you)

Sandwich - heals 100 health

Lame shotgun variation - same as shotgun, but has some speacial crit thingy or something

None of the above

Grapple - grapples enemies (brings them towards you)

And one where you do like a fireball of ice and FREEZE the enemy for a few seconds allowing you to walk over and uppercut them with your gloves.

or one were you throw a hat and it cuts someones head off.

eye laser beams anyone?

sandvich in one hand, shotty in the other. sandvich gives 100 hp and shotty is less accurate and does less damage because he isnt holding it with two hands like he usually does.

arena looks like s***, a bit too much influence from the cs team i think.

I was thinking the exact opposite, I think the arena setup sounds awesome, I love when it gets to sudden death, not sure if the novelty will wear off though.

sudden death s***s me to tears, i'm more of an offensive player.

Arena sounds like my type of game. f*** yeah tf2.

tf2 has had like at least 5 zillion content updates for free. Shows that there is still hope for free updates.

dont see why you cant be offensive when it is sudden death, you just have to be good.

I think it promotes team play more, the medic means more when you cant get health any other way, including dying and coming back in 15 seconds. Engineers are needed more for he dispensers and defence from the sentrys.

Arena mode sounds great, and thermite should be happy with one of the new maps.

It's only had content upgrades because they released it with bugger all content. They've been able to get everyone's money from the start, while gradually releasing the actual game. Good business model, but wouldn't work if the game wasn't so good.

I can't figure out if XandraX is complimenting valve or trolling them.

A little from column A and a little from column B.

so when does the actual update come out?

The game costs what, $20US? How much content were you expecting?

so when does the actual update come out?

tomorrow i think

So they will give the last announcement along with the update? I thought it would be out wednesday american time.

I hope it is tomorrow though woot

Who cares about Arena... I'll give it a bash, no doubt it will be fun.

Basin is where it's at though, payload maps are f***ing awesome... if it's anywhere near the quality of Goldrush I'll be extremely happy.

Plus people will be playing CP_Steel, WIN!

Plus i can get heaps of points by just whoring the cart right chub?

I Do agree though, gold rush is aswesome and this new payload based map looks pretty cool.

Plus people will be playing CP_Steel, WIN!

Agreed, awesome map. Best tf2 custom map.

Plus i can get heaps of points by just whoring the cart right chub?

If that's how you like to get your points, of course you can.

I prefer to kill people instead ;)

/bait

Steel will be awesome I reckon after people get used to it, I think some better strategies will evolve to get E early instead of just going through the A - D progression which is how 99% of the games ended.

when is the heavy update going to be released?

Tomorrow day apparently.

I was playing Goldrush as Demoman today, holy crap is it easy to rack up the points on that map.

the sandwich is out, heals 120hp, which is a good chunk, nearly half?

Now all you need is a hotdog that gives you ammo somehow

HE PUNCHED A HOLE IN MY BLOOD!

Also, the update is out now.

HE PUNCHED A HOLE IN MY BLOOD!

sounded more like "he punched out all my blood"

thermite.Newsletter.Subscribe(me);

I had a quick bash of the arena mode, it was fun. Not too many Heavies around yet.

Everyone is playing the new PL map on interode and I am banned from internode. Go gamearena.

Your fault for being BANNED!

arena is alright. not as much fun as normal maps.

Anyone notice this?

Increased The Kritzkrieg's uber-charge rate bonus from 10% to 25%

That's awesome, I really enjoy the krizt and now that it charges substantially faster I think it's balanced against the regular medigun.

Sandvich... f***ing LOL

om nom nom nom... om nom

I was just spamming away to reach my 100 sandvich achievement and there was random heavy speak in there along the way.

Something about the sandvich telling him to kill everyone hehe

Can't wait to get in game now.

tis amazing game!

Loving the update

Got my 3 unlocks already.

So far natasha has left me underwhelmed, sandvich is funny, but pretty useless.

KGB are lol too, but swing really slowly.

New arena mode seems ok. Badwater was good fun. New environment is good.

Pretty much agree with frakture although I don't have the KGB yet. Arena is... arena. Same as any other team arena mode in other games. Waiting for the lose, I hope they just make it two teams.

I reckon it would be cool to have 4 teams playing at once with a yellow and green team or something.

I reckon it would be cool to have 4 teams playing at once with a yellow and green team or something.

that would be the s***.

the only thing i dont like about arena is the random teams. i would like to choose which team to join.

I reckon the concept of randomly swapping teams is a good idea, but the idea of having a 16 player game on a 24 player server is rubbish. Let everyone play or f*** off.

Yer, the admins should limit the number of people allowed on the server to the maximum allowed to play.

As for the 4 teams, anyone remember 4fort4?



It was s***.

Badwater basin is pretty good. Really starting to like it.

Raped as a spy. Soo many places to hide.

does anyone do the unlocks properly?. I dont think many do, cause theres no way youd have all 3 unlocks from normal play already.

They should stop the achievement help servers, seems kinda silly to me.

The easiest way to do them, without risking getting banned (Hi CHUB) is to start your own server, add bots and then mow them down.

Doesn't take long and is a lot easier than f***ing around with tools in achievement servers.

badwater basin kicks so much ass. i prefer it over goldrush and attacking as spy is a hell of a lot of fun.

i like it how you can kill a heavy while hes eating his sandvich so that he drops it and you get healed for picking it up.

after playing last night for a few hours on node, heaps of people were getting crashing dramas and bad memory reads. I got about 4 in 4 hours, total annoyance. I hope they fix this.

Played a few hours last night.

Played 30 minutes of Arena (arena granary), very interesting, extremely challenging. It had an old school feel to it, I really enjoyed playing scout or soldier.

Then 2 d******* heavies (on opposing teams) sat around for 10 minutes eating sandwhichs on the point while we all sat there going "what the f*** are they doing". That sound is driving me insane!!!!

Basin WINS! What a ridiculously death map. I'm primarily playing engineer, there's an awesome spot that absolutely RAPES on offense. Point C you can run up the stairs + over, then build a SG/tele in the window and it drops straight into their base, but it's IMPOSSIBLE to take down. I throw a ninja SG up there (past C and above) while we're capping point C and the lvl 1 SG takes down 5+ people.

Left a tele there, ~40 teleports, undisturbed.

Besides that, I'm really struggling to find SG spots.

EDIT: Yep, I crashed out 2 times in ~3 - 4 hours, very annoying.

i had a quick game this morning of badwater basin, looks really good, just can't find where to get up to that sniper spot near the second third point?

post some pics. i cant really work out where you mean.

it seems a lot easier on blue team compared to blue on goldrush. there was only 1 time lastnight where blue didnt win. they just couldnt get the last point. it probably because of all the damn heavies atm, so it will probably change once everything has gone back to normal.

post some pics. i cant really work out where you mean.

It's not the closest foward base I've found yet, but it holds its ground and provides good teleports.

What the enemy see's coming from final cap, SG up in the window but 99% of the time you have teammates rounding that corner.

This map is great for engies but it was so easy playing as a spy for once and not worrying about running into people.

im just having fun as spy now with everyone as heavy hehe

cheers chub. thought you were talking about the windows near the stairs in the first pic. that spot looks good though.

arena mode is f***ing awesome.

It really gets my blood pumping when i stab someone since it has such a huge effect on the game... Let alone stabbing 3 guys every round.

f***in' love it.

Ahaha I did the heavy taunt without even thinking about it and killed a guy, it has a lot more range than you'd think!

Basin owns! I'm finally starting to get the hang of it... massive map.

See ravnos knows how to play, he actualy has some captures on a map that is based around getting captures, where as you other guys just have kills.

yeah, also chub is gay
- confucious

Yeah, 30+ destructions don't help your team at all.

pushing the cart is for heavies, everyone has there role.

as for bagging on arena earlier, i was soooooo wrong. its pretty awesome.

maps are tight so it never means its a massive camp fest.

Ahah so you're cupoftea chub? you bastard you've dominated me more than a few times when you strap on the demoman boots. I'm Epic Fail Guy

EDIT: Anyone else got a free "guestpass" to TF2 that you can give away?

He works one off every night over these screenshots.

just one?

Errr, I've never "had a go" at anyone for having a low score... make up some more random stuff while you're at it, don't call people c***s for no reason.

Haha DM I was dominating you the other night. :P

Also thermite, you're a useless c*** for having a low score.

yeah i got the guest pass thing to send to someone.

Badwater basin is pretty cool, seems to be stacked againts the offence though, ive only seen 1 team finish it, and about probably 20 not get it. I play sniper on defence and with the long alleys its easy to pick off the heavies. When attacking I go heavy and hope the snipers on my team can take out there snipers.

I've capped it out a few times.

It's a bit hard to tell at the moment because theres so many tards whoring up the Heavy. When that dies down and the classes are more evenly spread again it will make a big difference in the offensive pushes.

I'm having loads of fun on defense bounding around as scout behind their lines f***ing up their medics and snipers :)

Seems pretty even to me so far. Certainly more wins than on goldrush.

Will be interesting as people learn the map more.

Viper have you tried offense sniper last point... in the little room with the windows, and 1 of the windows is missing a single pane.

It's f***ing epic, covers one of there spawn entrances and the final point.

Agreed CHUB, i was shooting at a sentry for 2 mins with my revolver before a soldier found out. That window is awesome.

What room are you talking about, dont quite understand where you are talking about.

I can't find a really awesome place to put a forward sentry. the long tunnel reall y f***s things up. and snipers cain me so bad.

Yeah the first cap is pretty easy, once your in the tunnel your home free pretty much. Saying that we did stop one team from getting the first point, if the engineers get setup in that little spot to the left of the first cap point, in the little bunker type place.

As soon as you cap the first point, you gotta get the rooftop above the second cap, if the defence gets setup there its hard to get rid of it.

On the third cap, you gotta clear out that room above the tracks, if the defence gets a couple of sg's and tele's setup there its pretty hard to get the third point.

No idea about the last point, everyone seems to go everywhere, not realy sure where to put sentry's.

Lol I didn't know where to add this

This spy's hl2 spray says "<-- this guy is totally not a spy"



Hahaha I love how the doctor keeps looking at him.

Does DM = Dogmatix Man?

more like this!!

Hi mongie, I still use my own account here, just only very rarely. When I play TF2 I play under the nick "Tim."

we should setup a qgl forums match on the new badwater basin map so everyone can show there "skills".

i would be up for that. start a new thread with a date and time. im sure you'll get people there.

I was just spamming away to reach my 100 sandvich achievement and there was random heavy speak in there along the way.

aahahhaa "You are a loose canon sandvich - but you're a damn good cop!!"

Ahahahahahaha. oh man that video was great. never knew he had so many sandvich related speeches.

So when are we organising this QGL match? I had a few games with SquarkyD the other day but I never seen much QGL around on Internode.

node ftw, I'm usually on after midnight because I can't stand the school kids/noobs on before then. TLNC rock.

I'm usually on after midnight because I can't stand the school kids/noobs on before then

If you don't like kids, stay away from the Gamespace 24/7 Insta-spawn 2Fort server.

That server is all kinds of bad.

Generally the node servers are pretty good. Very few kiddies and griefers.

Although the skill level can be pretty low sometimes :/

So when are we organising this QGL match?

who can organise and setup a server?

While we're at it, my youtube video finally uploaded.

"Spy retreat fail". Damn it felt good :)

We have a GA ladder freeplay match tonight and we will need some extras I would say.

9pm tonight. PM me if you are interested. Goldrush 8 v 8.
