Team Fortress 2

Agreed, although wouldnt say medics that bad uber charge lasts about 6 seconds and out of all my classes ive had a score of 24 with medic without dying which is behind my heavy of 26 I think. He's fun to play and get a bit of team work going on hes class but weak cause people can just aim for you instead of your team mate

Shame the FOV doesn't go up to 110 degrees which is what I played in TF

Looks awesome can't wait to play it.

Awwww I liked the medic :( Tis an awesome game though, 9/10 is spot on.

We must've debated giving it a 10 for about an hour - that's how close it is... but I think 9-9.5 is the right score in the end. :)

:(

A quick blast this morning and the last update still hasn't fixed the sound skipping problem. Perhaps I was more than a little optimistic when I decided that the on-board sound card would be okay.

Other than that though, freakin' awesome! I love the medic. I just like helping people :p

What do you guys reckon about running this on my girlfriend's PC? 2.6GHz P4, 1 gig of Ram, Radeon 9800 Pro...

there is only 1 thing that i miss, that would make the medic fit in more:

Conc

Ahhhh concs, that'd be pretty awesome. Grenades in general would be awesome. You never know, it might be something they introduce at a later date.

Surely it's one third of the Black box, then one fifth of the Orange Box?

Easy - it's still the source engine underneath, just set it all to medium.

there's no black box any more. you pay the same price regardless, and get coupons to give HL1/Ep1 to friends who don't have it already (i know, how nice, eh)

nah... TF2 is like 49% portal another 49% and then the rest is free stuff you get for buying two awesome games in a bundle

Black box is still on consoles. But I still standby my word that 1/5 != 1/3

TF2 is awesome, though IMO it's a shell of the good ole QuakeWorld version. I'm still enjoying it more than I did TFC, and have been playing it more than ET:QW. I fell in love quickly with TF2 and I'm still working on that feeling for ETQW.

The FOV issue is because this game has been consolized™ as I suspect all future FPS games will be. It's not a bad thing, but it means that us older gamers will have to get used to this FOV 75 nonsense. If anything it just makes noobs easier to blindside. :p

Oh -- and bring on 4f4 (4forts) and lavalamp plz! :)

Cool. I just wanted to put my mind at ease that the Source engine is still kind to older systems.

Tis blasphemous that you forsake the holy Episode Two in your description of the Orange Box!

Hope they bring out the Hunted maps again they were a blast. TF2 is great though.
I miss avanti too

The Hunted ones were the sniper maps where you had to guard the fat VIP guy right? They were fantastic.

Sad you guys are peddling this **** as a good game, having played TF games for years TF2 is an awful, dumbed down for console, 10 year wait too long crapfest. Portal and Ep2 are quite good though :D

I have a 1.8ghz C2D, 2gigs of DDR400, and a 6800NU 128mb. I had to set the textures to medium as I don't have the VRAM for it. Also the reflections were slowing me down as well. I had the shader on high and models on high but I had to put the shader on low for 2fort. There is 1 section near the flag that would just make my system crawl. I don't know why and it was only that 1 section.

I am at work right now. but I herd before that the full game would support dual core. Can anyone confirm that? I'd like to be able to bump either the reflections or shader back up to high.

so, um, when does it come out again? i really wish theres a TF2 standalone :/
