TF2 is pretty fun. Lots of teamwork, i had a round where we had 3 medics and 3 heavy's and we dominated the whole server

And not one enemy sniper to counter?

I gotta say playing Scout is more fun that I expected! Especially on 2fort! You can quickly get up behind them and smack them with the bat

From what I've read of peoples impressions it looks like when I get around to getting it I'm gonna have to pretend its not Team Fortress but some other cool MP game.Respawn timers in a TF game. What the fuck.

That's what the Sudden Death thing is about. Winner gets lowered respawntimers, iirc. But SD usually end up as stalemate anyways, since some shmuck camps to days end.

Played for 2-3 hours now and it's fun as hell. Of course the servers have their fair share of "elitist bastards" who say it sucks, it's not like TFC, etc etc. Hey guys, it's TF2 , not TFC2. I doubt they worked on it for eons just to make an exact replica, with hot graphics, of an aging game.

Quote from Thrik

Kind of weirds me out that some people are so opposed to stylised cartoon graphics in games (although I'd say this is more designed to resemble a CGI movie than a cartoon). I mean, there're a million games out there that do the grittier look and do it well.I have to agree that the water looks weird there, though. I could have sworn it looked different in earlier promotional material. Maybe it looks less weird in motion.

The Incredibles : Fortress

Phew, just purchased The Orange Box and downloading TF2

Quote from Erratic

But, you haven't played it.

Microsoft is advertising Halo 3 like the reincarnation of Jesus Christ, and I am getting really sick of it. I doubt it is as epic as they are trying to portray it.

Halo 3 is the most overrated game in human history ... so far.

And here's a screenshot that shows Areaportals in the works on my map (2 screenshots merged), with 'r_drawportals 1' : http://www.shatteredminds.net/skit/areaportals.jpg

Gives you an idea how they work practically.

It's a Super Mario World hack. There's a bunch out there, but never got around how the hell you patch rom-files

Here's my ye old Bounce remake map. The above picture is the released version (just weeks after the SDK got released and everyone had little knowledge) and the below picture is after I added areaportals into it (when I learned what they did):

Quote from Remonttimies

No, they are completely useless.

Areaportals useless in MP? My good sir, they are used in official maps by Valve, such as dod_colmar, and dramatically improve rendering. Decompile and see for yourself.

Quote from propaganda

There are no areaportals in the map.

Tip : Use them. Func_Areaportal is the best thing since sliced bread for optimisation.

Faulty areaportals?

What the ... ?

Hehe I downloaded the demo around midnight, started playing it and after a while suddenly I realised the time was 5 AM. Guess I had too much fun being Field Ops and spamming airstrike\hammer\dark matter.

If you got an ATI-card, download the latest Catalyst drivers (7.9) : http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catal ... radeonx-xp

Apparently it fixes ET:QW from crashing at startup.

Yup, singing Deep Purple tracks while jumping from smaller to larger vehicles is how you make a career as a musician.

AND BRICKS ARE GONNA BE SHAT.
