This is the best game you can currently play on your computer gaming machines, so you should all play it. Also sometimes Valve will drop the price to like $10, so no one who enjoys shooting other people and has a computer capable of running the game has an excuse not to own it.

THINGS TO KNOW:
  • Sometime fairly soon Valve will begin adding stat modifications which will spawn at random on randomly "dropped" weapons. Think Diablo II, kinda. (Exactly how the actual dropping part work is unclear, but it's a safe bet they won't actually spring into being on the corpses of your enemies because that would suck.) So you might be able to find, say, a rocket launcher that has only 3 rockets per clip but with greater knockback and damage on each, or a medic gun that heals faster but can't overheal. There will also be hats. Some people complained about these things a lot when they were announced! Source: this thread on the (otherwise essentially worthless) official Steam forums.
  • Sniper Vs. Spy update is OUT! It looks balls awesome.
  • The general TF2 blog often dispenses cool little tidbits of information about how the game works beneath the surface and what they're planning to do with future updates and stuff like that.
  • This TF2 wiki is good. The hard numbers on there are generally correct, but the “how to play ___” videos and strategy articles aren't worth bothering with for the most part.


These are (apparently) the PA servers:

ZeekNyne's (arena): 8.6.75.22:27015
Hey You's: 208.167.246.12:27015
Job's: 216.155.146.69:27015
JonXP's (vanilla): tf2.finalmeasure.com
PMAvers's (custom maps): 208.167.243.68:27015

That info is stolen directly from the G&T thread, because I don't really play on those (I have bad ping to them) so I don't know much about them. I'm sure they're great!

The SE++ steam group: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/SEPLUSPLUS



SO. This thread is where you talk about things like how awesome the update is, which terrible community-made maps you like, or how soldier is totally the coolest class. Yeah!

    Viv, you are so intense

    anyway I was saying before the thread was locked that I did do better as soldier than I thought I would

    that's not saying much (though I know that good soldiers are super awesome), but still

    does that mean I am intense and an internet badass

    not only does it mean that, but if you are playing by this other dudes rules, it gives you full + complete right to call people names in a serious and mean way if they are not THE BEST at the computer game you are partaking in

    I had an amazing round as spy earlier today on the JonXP server that actually landed me at the top of the scoreboard.

    That was with the revamped DR. Takes a little more getting used to, but the update isn't as bad as I thought.

    I have a new found love for the pyro, especially because so many people don't know what to do when they're on fire, so they just run around you and you can keep them on fire.
    Scout is still my favorite though, just so fun being able to run and jump around like that.

    a chronicle of the heavy brigade
    First, a scout and a medic rounded the corner and immediately died (the front four heavies were crouching to allow the other five to shoot over their heads)

    and then we rounded the corner to find the other team had adapted to our tactic:

    pl_goldrush0004.jpg

    they won that round, but we cleverly chose a position they wouldn't think to look in:

    pl_goldrush0009.jpg

    we mowed them down happily:
    pl_goldrush0013.jpg

    but their cries of rage were terrible to hear and their axes smothered our lives quickly:
    pl_goldrush0016.jpg

    again we charged:
    pl_goldrush0021.jpg

    and again they trampled over our corpses:
    pl_goldrush0022.jpg

    some bonus shots of later epic struggles:
