"What are you, president of his fanclub?"
"No, that would be your mother. And now he's here to f*** us!"
:lol:

Awesome! I love the style....someone said on another forum that they should make a movie/online TV series with these characters. I think it'd be enjoyable!
-
At the rate Valve releases products, it would take them 100 years to make 12 episodes.

In a barely related note: SSB: TF2 Edition (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bbH632PSpw&fmt=22).
-
Brilliant.
-
I saw this yesterday, right after watching an AIDS version by YouTube Pooper Deepercutt.
-
Would anyone be interested in arranging HLP TF2 matches?
TF2 goes for half-the price for the weekend by the way, so it is a good chance to buy it if you're interested.

Also, do you know of any good EU TF2 servers?
-
I don't know about EU, but I use the NorthernResistance.com CDN servers.
That'd be fun, but I don't know many people who play.
-
Meeee!
-
I hate multiplayer gaming but I'd be up against some fellow HLPs. :D
-
I play on the No Heroes servers. http://www.no-heroes.com. Age 18+ only please, there is no language filter and some of the images tend to be a bit R-Rated.

Back on the spy update, someone want to tell me what the hell is going on in the news reports on their homepage?
they keep talking about how they're going to fire someone for leaking the spy video, but with the news stories regarding it it sounds like they're all just joking...
:wtf:
-
It is a joke. Didn't you get that? Someone started a petition to stop the leaker from being fired before Valve even thought about it.
-
Oh, okay. I thought the petition was the joke...
Either way I'm still convinced the entire valve team are total nutcases :P
-

I'd be interested in playing, but not arranging.

Meeee!
Have a go at it then. :)

Gentlemen.
valve team are total nutcases
What? They seem to be the only non-indie people who understand that awesome graphics != awesome game.
It's a pity I don't have a credit card...

I think you mean that awesome graphics does not equal awesome game. Half-life 2 wasn't exactly that pretty :P
Still my third favorite game of all time, though, and the best FPS I've ever played. If only they'd release episode 3 now, instead of delaying past the release date of feb 2009. :rolleyes:
-
!= means 'does not equal', so that's exactly what he said.
-
My mistake.

Valve also recognizes that rushing products != happyness. They release products when they are done, and therefore delay almost as much as the ST:R team :P
-
Ahahahaha
Haha
Ha
Heee
Woooo...
Seriously?
Are we thinking of the same Valve here? Sure TF2 may have taken forever to come out, but Valve has awful QA when it comes to updates. In one update they changed how the bounding boxes worked for jumping, this made people not be able to make jumps they could before, and the engie couldn't even jump on top of his sentry. And Natascha's been broken through various means so many times it isn't funny. And you also have the new unlock system, which without a trading system breaks the whole concept of how they wanted players to get new weapons.
Don't get me wrong, I love Valve, they just need a QA department that actually knows how to test.
-
Looks like the Soldier is the next in line for update.
-
I want an Engie update. :(

Ahahahaha

Now you say it, I remember that there was a patch that broke Opposing Force.
Valve games are bugless. Untill the bugfixing comes along :P.

Srsly. I remember this one patch that made Portal freeze after two seconds of runtime. They fixed it three days later. :no:
-
Meh.
The new unlocks, especially, are not a QA issue - it's a whiny community issue.
-

Soldier has been done already?

No?
Ah, I see. You're thinking of a 'Meet The' video. He means a gameplay update (unlockables, achievements, so on.)
-
Yes, that's what I meant. Although the evidence it was based on (Soldier quote on the latest bloq quote) is admittedly pretty shaky.

well, i alwany found the soldier to be relatively-not-that-used, and personally fail as one :rolleyes:
-
Not that used in comparison to what exactly? Soldier is quite a versatile class. He has great long range attack weapon and a pretty good short range one too. Heaven help you if he's got a kritzkrieging medic on him. He's probably one of the better balanced classes. I'm guessing he's the last class to get some new weapons.
My guess for the next batch of unlocks is Engineer. The real weakness for him right now is the Sentry. It's really just an annoyance to a good team, or even a player. A demo can easily lob 4 stickies and kill it, a pyro can just circle strafe even a level 3 and kill it if he gets close enough. That's not really right at all.
-
I agree. Being an Engie is an exercise in frustration. Stand in a corner whacking things with your wrench, make runs to nearby metal drops, painstakingly build everything, lose it to an uber-pyro push or a demoman in three seconds flat.
They're utterly critical. But actually being one is kind of annoying.
-
I like engie, and I hope the next update is engie-focused. I just hope they implement trading soon, I don't need extra Jarate, Dead Ringers and Flare Guns. I want the Cloak and Dagger.
And about the sentry weakness thing, I don't think you play Dustbowl often. With 2-3 engies on defense, a formidable defense can be mounted.
-
As I said, they're utterly critical. But life as an engie is still just kind of excruciating. It's nice when sentry is racking up kills as part of a near-impenetrable defense, but you yourself still don't get to do much but whack things with a wrench.
-
Yeah, a nice shotgun replacement'd be nice. And a spy defense.

slapping up a dispenser first allows for to basicially have infinite metal over time, allowing you to build it all not that slowly.
makes my engie life so much easier.
unless that's been patched out, i haven't played that much lately since my brother's account has counter-strike, mine is TF2, buyt i do not know if he remembers his pswrd, so i do not want to ruin him...
-
Of course you can do that. But it's still a lot of whacking stuff with your wrench. And the dispenser doesn't give out metal all that fast.
-
Yeah, but there are always metal boxes around critical locations.
-
I know all this. I play Engie all the time.
It's not that I think Engie is execrable. It's a lot of fun. But I think the gameplay needs a kick in the pants, something to shake it up from 'whack whack whack SENTRY DOWN!' whack whack whack 'SPY SAPPIN' MAH TELEPORTER!'
-
Engie's my favourite class aside from spy, and I agree wholeheartedly.
-
Possible Engie upgrades:
- Landmines (invisible)
- Anti-spy turret (targets/attacks nothing but disguised/invisible spies)
- A Different Kind of Wrench (turns the enemy into stick-figures)
-------------------------
My favourite class is The Scout. Nothing is quite so satisfying as running behind a line of enemies and beaning them all in the head with a bat.
-
Landmines: Possible
Turret: If it targeted only spies and replaced the original turret fine, otherwise it'd wreck balance.
Wrench: I'm thinking more a shotgun or pistol replacement.
Just my 2 cents.
-
A light missile launcher might help... :nervous:
-
How about letting engineers to build covers to help offensive advances?
-
Covers? As in temporary shields?
-
Dunno, anything that fits the description and works is fine.
-
That'd work.
