    Sorry, I don't have an answer for you. But I just wanted to say don't even bother. This thread is pretty much worthless if you have any kind of question. It just gets lost in a sea of ridiculousness. Why do you think it was deleted and taken away for awhile?

    is there something wrong with steams server list? I keep on joining empty servers even though I'm constantly refreshing the list and joining seemingly populated servers

    Apparently there is a way for pub servers to inflate their numbers in the server list. I have no idea why they'd do that, but yah. Unless you're talking about our servers, then I have no idea.

    Why can't you just use steam to buy the whole thing? Seems a lot easier.

    There is a "activate a steam product" button on your games page where you can put in a key, so it might work, but I wouldn't guarantee it.

    Went to bed soon after posting...

    Played loads of FPS titles. This seems like it will be somewhat similar to Wolf:ET in some ways. I got pretty good at that game. Enjoyed playing Fops, so few of them would actually hand out ammunition. As a medic, I'd actually focus on keeping team mates alive (and again, there were medics who would use the regeneration to play as an uber soldier).

    Engi sounds like a decent start. Playing defense is generally a good starting idea in most games, as the action will be a little slower, and you'll have more time to be able to learn the flow of the maps.

    Also, I'd like to throw my hat in on the Blutsauger or however it's spelled and say that it's a load of shit.

    I got the jump on a Medic last night, set him ablaze for several seconds, and then as he was backtracking and sucking my life force I kept shotgunning him. Got off at least six shots. I went down first and the jerk still had around 25 health left.

    yeah, but more than likely the pyro is going to get us medics killed if we follow to the end. its better to overheal them up to the point of no return and then cutting them loose to unleash hell.

    im not going to post my medic stats. the averages for the most part are about .3 pts under mandalore, but i have 25% more deaths in like 1/8th the time played :(

    edit: @sheep: dont run straight at him. he's backpedaling and sending a stream of healing needles at you. if you run straight at him it's going to negate any burning dmg. you ahve to strafe the entire time and make half those things miss to get him down. its w+a/d+m1

    @dude that got infracted: what was your question? something about textures or something? if we dont know how to help you we arent going to try. youre better off taking that to MIT or H/A

    Quack, im not sure but if they increased the stab area, it probably will and will make those annoying engies killable again.

    They can also spoof the map that shows up on the list. Fucking says dustbowl and redirects to Egypt upon joining. I should have read the server name as it said "Test. Join at your own risk".
