Team Fortress 2

Anyone remember Team Fortress Classic from 1999? I played the hell out of it till I got into EQ.

Well, after making, scrapping, remaking and scrapping again, I think I heard something from Sierra and Valve finally getting TF2 out soon.

Anyone got any good info on it? Last I saw it was way cartoony. Still though the fast action looked fun.

Yep, we had a TF-clan back in the day!

Loved the hell out of TF, can't wait for this

theyre doing a triple release of Portal, TF2, and HL Episode 2.. mmmm

I love the stylized looks of TF2, and it looks like they stayed mostly true to the original as far as gameplay goes.. including remade maps like 2fort. Most of the diversions from the original are pretty exciting IMO... the medic is probably the most altered class and sounds totally sexy.. theres also shit like spy's being able to cloak and rocket jumping being a bonafide and encouraged ability for soldiers. it'll be great, no doubt

Sorry to bump an old topic, but Valve just released a new TF2 2 trailer: Meet the Scout. I got a good laugh out of it.

I fucking hate scouts and the twitchy little pricks who play them.

Boogahz · Post by **Boogahz** » April 21, 2008, 1:26 pm

I think that the Scout is the one class I have not actually played. I have mainly been a Soldier, Medic, or Engineer.

Is there anything that I play that you like? First ret, and now Scouts.

My top three classes played (in order) are Sniper, Spy, Scout.

miir · Post by **miir** » April 21, 2008, 3:06 pm

I play mostly Medic.
I muck around as a Pyro or Demo when I need a change.

Spang · Post by **Spang** » April 21, 2008, 3:10 pm

I played engineer the most, followed by soldier.

Im soldier/sniper/demo combo usually.. I go medic if my team has none

I play the scout when I feel like dicking around and just having (stupid) fun. I only use the bat or pistol (for taking out sentry guns at long range). If you haven't tried it, you'd be surprised at how easily you can kill people. Only makes things easier when half the people out there will panic and try to run at the sight of a bat-swinging jackass charging at them.

I've never played this before. The trailer was hilarious though. Can someone explain the game?

In one word...
Fun.

You should play it.

Ever play Team Fortress Classic? It's a game which uses the half life 2 engine, you play 1 of various classes, each with specific skills/weapons. There are multiple game types, all objective based: capture the points, defense/capture points, and others I forget. But as Miir said, it's fun.

miir · Post by **miir** » April 24, 2008, 11:33 am

You can play as a newbie without fear of embarrasing yourself.
The graphics are heavily stylized and will run with good framerates on lesser systems.
You can play an easy class (Engineer, Soldier, Medic) while you learn the finer points of the game.

It's one of the most newbie friendly online shooters I have ever played.

I thought TF started as a Quake mod?

That is correct, sir.

Sartori · Post by **Sartori** » April 24, 2008, 9:35 pm

Miss the old days. Sniper, Pyro, Demo, Engineer and sometimes medic!

The old suicidal medic was the best. Hide outside the enemy spawn door, rush in behind someone after they opened it and infect thier AFK people in the spawn room. You die fast in there but due to the contagious infection, as thier team spawned in they would get infected, spread it, die, catch it again, die but spread it again before they died. If the other team had just 1-2 stupid people on it, you could chain kills for minutes straight.

Valve has announced the release of the anticipated "Gold Rush Update," which includes the Gold Rush map, payload gameplay style, a new unique item system, and medic achievements. In addition, this upcoming weekend will be a TF2 free weekend, giving everyone a chance to try out the new updates.

"The Gold Rush Update introduces the new Gold Rush map and Payload gameplay style, the first set of unlockable weapons, and a new set of achievements for the Medic.

Valve also announced a worldwide Team Fortress 2 Free Weekend will begin Friday at noon PDT, and will include access to the new content released today in the TF2: Gold Rush Update. Using the functionality made available through Steam and Steamworks, all of the files needed to join the Free Weekend are available for pre-loading now.

"Since Valve released Team Fortress Classic nine years ago this month as a free add-on for Half-Life owners, Valve has continuously looked for new ways to support the players of its online games," said Gabe Newell, president and co-founder of Valve. "Following in that tradition, today owners of all PC versions of Team Fortress 2 will automatically receive a free update containing new gameplay, weapons, and achievements by connecting to Steam, a platform built for gamers and creators of online games."

The Free Weekend is open to players around the world, and there is no obligation to purchase to participate; all that is needed is a Steam account to join.

hah, too bad it only works for the pc.. I'd do it on the 360 cause I doubt I'll ever get around to playing this.

Sartori · Post by **Sartori** » June 29, 2008, 9:24 pm

Don't know if these are anywhere else here, but these are pretty good:

Meet the Soldier

Meet the Demoman

Meet the Engineer

Meet the Heavy

Meet the Scout

Meet the Sniper

And Meet the Spy

Fash · Post by **Fash** » July 1, 2008, 10:33 am

I've been playing this game a lot recently.. I fucking love it.

Last night I was alive as a Demoman for 41 minutes and got 22 kills!

Aardor · Post by **Aardor** » July 1, 2008, 11:50 am

We should start a steam ID thread. I would gladly play this game with any of you, since all the people i played it with play COD4 now, and I have not bought it because i'm sure the same thing that happened with tf2 will happen when I get COD4 (all my friends decide to try a new FPS). I actually don't even know my steam ID offhand!

My steam id is: gfosco

I don't have any steam friends yet.. I play on the TNA or Gib$rus servers mostly.

Boogahz · Post by **Boogahz** » July 7, 2008, 5:58 pm

steam id is corin12, but I rarely play anything on there anymore. If I do play, it is only TF2. I tried HL2:deathmatch, and it really felt like a joke

Fash · Post by **Fash** » July 24, 2008, 4:17 pm

How many TF2 players we got?

I may set up a dedicated server on one of my servers in texas. I love the Gib$Ru$ servers, but sometimes getting a slot is a bitch. I haven't run a gaming server since the Unreal Tournament days!

Spang · Post by **Spang** » July 24, 2008, 4:26 pm

I'd fire it back up.

Boogahz · Post by **Boogahz** » July 24, 2008, 4:34 pm

I could reinstall. I currently have Quake Wars: Enemy Territory and CoD4 installed for my FPS fixes.

cadalano · Post by **cadalano** » July 24, 2008, 5:14 pm

i have come back and played to get the new shit for medic and pyro. will probably return when they release more. doubt i'd play it substantially for long term though

Sionistic · Post by **Sionistic** » July 24, 2008, 7:05 pm

I play tf2 pretty often. PM if you want my steam id

Fash · Post by **Fash** » July 25, 2008, 12:03 am

Server is up... you can add this to your favorites list:

sbfpb.com:27015

Not sure if this will attract players... I'll definitely check it whenever I'm looking to play (which is every night, pretty much).

open to map/config suggestions...

Spang · Post by **Spang** » July 25, 2008, 12:18 am

Capture the flag maps with no time limit.

I forget the map I played the most, but it was my favorite. There was a lake in the center with a bridge crossing it.

I haven't played in months.

Fash · Post by **Fash** » July 25, 2008, 1:41 am

Right now it's running only that map, ctf_2fort.

Spang · Post by **Spang** » July 25, 2008, 1:57 am

That's the one!

Post by **Sylvus** » September 3, 2008, 2:35 pm

I know I'm horribly late getting to the party, but I stayed home sick yesterday and felt like playing a video game that I could just buy online, so I picked up the Orange Box.

If anyone is still out there playing TF2, I believe my steam id is mp72 so feel free to add me to your list. I'll probably be playing this in my free time for a while, seems pretty fun.

Spang · Post by **Spang** » June 27, 2011, 12:18 pm

Team Fortress 2 is free. Forever.

Spang · Post by **Spang** » April 1, 2015, 3:20 pm

This Team Fortress 2 movie took six months to make.

It's quite good.
