Team Fortress 2 Official Topic V1: Not Ripping Off Facepunch

[Generalno1]

By the end of the game, In my heavy, i was depleting a 500 ammo capacity at a rate of 10 rounds..

PER SECOND.

I counted.

[Iamgoofball]

Time to break out the calculator and figure out how much money you spent on boolets.

I finally had some time in coop. I gotta say my first time playing was really quite exciting. I was able to jump in a public game right away

I switched to Engineer early on because we didn't have one and that turned the game around. I don't know though if I could be as effective in any other class. It's a lot of fun though quickly re-positioning your sentry repeatedly while trying to out-maneuver the sentry buster & keep the damage rolling.

Anyone develop any good strategies for coop?

[Iamgoofball]

Make sure your Dispenser is somewhere that a solider/demoman can cover the spawns without worrying about the dispenser getting blown up/them running out of ammo.

[Archea47]

The Fronteir Justice or whatever it's called shotgun for the Engineer is Awesome for MvM. When the bots blow your sentry you have 30-howevermany crits ready on your shotty - a LOT more effective for me than the regular shotgun

[The Raven]

It is bad. It's about 120KB/s.

What? Sorry, I am confuzzled.

Also no, Frontier Justice sucks. When I played Engineer my main weapon was my sentry. The Wrangler is a must. It owns so freaking bad. Massive damage, massive speed + increased speed

Wrangler is secondary weapon - it replaces the pistol not the shotgun. I carry both (fronteir justice and wrangler)

The problem I have with the Wrangler in MvM is the delay between when you switch it off and when the sentry starts firing again. Certain situations I can use the wrangler, others I have to just smack the sentry to keep enough ammo in it. Also when there's snipers ... I can keep cover and keep repairing the sentry

I lost a sentry with almost 100 kills on it today ... that's a lot of crits on the fronteir justice, and beats the crap outta the shotgun. Obviously I'd rather have a sentry, but when it goes down ... Revenge crits

What? Sorry, I am confuzzled.

1Mb/s = 1 megabit per second.
1MB = 1 megabyte per second.

1 megabyte = 8 megabits.

Therefore General can download one-eighth of a megabyte per second, which is 120 kilobytes per second. I can download 12.5 megabytes per second, although it never gets that high.

Team Fortress 2 is a massive game these days. I think it's approaching three times the size it was at launch. It takes quite a while to download all those hats.

[Veck]

They should probably just cut all that FPS and non-trading multiplayer bull out of the install. All that extra space might give them room for an even bigger tower of hats.

Holy [&@%!] some people still get it

You can kill me now if you want.

One of my friends just got scammed out of £340 worth of TF2 items. A trade went bad, and the person he was selling to masqueraded as another friend who was playing middle man and essentially took the items from him.

I don't quite have the heart to tell him he should be more [&@%!] careful about this, because he knows it. But as I said to another guy, I'm torn somewhere between pity and stifling my laughter.

[Archea47]

Wow ...

340 gbp in ITEMS? I didn't know you could manage to spend that much on that stuff. I have a hard time imagining spending a tenth of that on tf2 toys. And that's just what he was trading ... I've been playing on and off since the week tf2 came out but now I feel like I've been playing an entirely different game than some people. I .. um .. have 13 Mann-co crates, only 10 gbp!

Seriously, how many copies of TF2 does 340 pounds buy?

At that point I would certainly contact Valve

[Generalno1]

i don't think Tom meant bought items, just..items.
They have an inherant value, even though you got them off a drop.

[The Tom]

I haven't spent one penny on items, except for that time when I bought a key. And apparently it was 340 dollars, not pounds. Those hats can be expensive.

As for contacting Valve about it, I'm not sure it's really a practice they condone.

[MARS]

Yo guys, trading some nifty items:

Strange Equalizer
Strange Direct-Hit
Strange Scottman's Skullcutter
Strange Tribalman's Shiv

Trading for crates or other Strange weapons, or metal.

[The Tom]

Ooh, I might be interested in the Scotsman's Skullcutter. Check my inventory on steam. I doubt I have anything but if you want something(s), I'd gladly trade.

[MARS]

The Crate #29 looks promising.

[Veck]

Is that my old Skullcutter, by any chance?

I'll take the Direct Hit fo' sho'. Dunno if you want any of my stuff but take a look at what I've got. The only thing on there that's absolutely 100% off limits is my Strange Rocket Launcher.

[Generalno1]

I found a meat cleaver.
A meat cleaver I can throw.

[MARS]

Is that my old Skullcutter, by any chance?

No, I gave that one away. To General I think, for a crate.

[Veck]

I found a meat cleaver.

I'll trade you a Strange Equalizer for it. Dead serious.

How about a cowboy hat for the Soldier in exchange for the Strange DH? It's a pretty cool hat but I'm not as attached to it as I am with my Scout Cross-Comm hat. Also why are you suddenly looking to get rid of your Direct Hit? Unless you have two now.

[MARS]

I have two. I'd never give Mr. Directhit away.

Cowboy hat sounds just dandy.

[The Tom]

The Crate #29 looks promising.

Hell, if it makes it any better, you can have every crate I own. I'm not going to open them, and by the time another free key comes around I'll have found another hundred of them.

[MARS]

Really? Oh boy. Jackpot! I'll give you the Tribalman's Shiv as well then.
