Dunno, it's just something I heard somewhere; no idea if it was valid or not. Seems like something they should be doing considering the quality of the music.
Hey guys, I'm running things on a pretty low spec machine, only got 1gb of ram (I know, I'm sorry) and it's taking years to get into a game and then I get freezes everytime i hear a new sound or see a new model. I know it's because of my lack of ram but I don't suffer in CS:S. Is there a setting in a config file anywhere that could help?
So the thread title compares this to Counterstrike. I saw a bit of Counterstrike being played years ago, and it looked like pretty much the most boring fps ever. I assume that this is better?
It depends on what you found boring about CS I suppose
This isn't like CS at all though, aside from the whole "players are fragile and have one life per round" thing
The one life thing may very well be it. In TF2, one of the more interesting parts for me is reacting to your own death, trying to figure out how that changes things and how to redeploy yourself after respawning. In CS, all you can do is take notes and try to do better next round.
I also kinda dislike the asthetic of it, everything looked completely generic.
All morning while making my breakfast I kept saying O ROH!
Does that make me a terrible person?

The only real complaint I have is that the weapons need more explanation as to what is good and what isn't. Also, the description text needs to be in a more contrasting color.

My rig would shake like Michael J. Fox on the skyscraper map until I turned off AA completely, for some reason. Try disabling it temporarily and see if that fixes the issue.
I can run TF2/L4D at 4xAA/16xAF but apparentrey NeoTokyo isn't as Japanese as it claims, or it would be smaller and more efficient than those two bloated American games. :P

Looking for a DX:HR OnLive code for my kid brother.
Can trade TF2 items or whatever else you're interested in. PM me.
My recent glee-filled activity is to set a detpack on the ghost and wait for the enemy team to come pick it up
On the map with the armored suits and the hangars with the spider robots, I killed about 5 or 6 guys with the initial detpack blast as they picked up the ghost and was able to finish off the other 3 or 4. It was so awesome
On the weapon select screen there are small (tiny) charts that show weapon stats on each weapon's picture. You can kind of make them out.
I think all you really need to know is that nearly every weapon has 2 tiers, except for sub machine guns which only have 1. Most of the guns have suppressed variations.
Shotgun
Tier 1 Supa7
Tier 2 AA13 Auto Shotty of Death
Also I am warming up to the shotgun. Supports can take a few hits which is the reason for it's poor reputation, but it tears up Recons and Assaults nicely. Last night Woggle and I took out 3 of the other team with a combo shotty + assault rifle. Then Olivaw had his rambo moment
Right well I managed to get myself another stick of 512 ram so I'm now running a HUGE 1.5gb of ram and it's helped the loading times. Now I've just gotta completely nuke my graphics settings and figure why every other game I get Warning: Connection Error and get booted.
Then maybe finally I can start to enjoy this game

Later, today. My revenge begins.
Probably by getting killed in more embarrassing ways.

Well, NT isn't generic like Counterstrike, so the aesthetic thing won't be a problem. You will have to resort to "taking notes and trying to do better" next round, though. It requires even more "trying to figure out how that changes things and how to redeploy yourself after respawning" than TF2 does, though, so maybe you'll like it. I mean, it's free. Why not try it?

Okay so here's the one technical issue I've had consistently with this game: why the hell does it take so long to join a server?
With TF2 I take like thirty seconds tops, with this game it's more like a couple minutes of hanging on the "Retrieving Server Info..." box before it finally goes "Sending client info..." I mean what the hell

All mods do that. It's weird but you have to get the lighting and shit from the server, to confirm you ain't wallhackan/using a fucked up map.

CS has the shittiest community this side of Xbox Live. And no nipples.

Setting? Penny Arcade Server? Atmosphere? The fact that the gameplay has a lot more nuances then Counter Strike?

Yeah I'd say it has at least 10 more nuances. Minimum.

Actually I think I connect to the server and load the map faster than I do in TF2.

They are migrating their forums, from what I saw on their IRC channel. Which is #neotokyo on the gamesurge.net IRC server. You can go there to praise the devs or bitch about fire location indicators or whatever.

restart steam and it should show up in your games list.
They're doing it like the ZPS MP3 player, but they're bitching to each other about keybindings and shit.
So that people can exclude tracks, set hotkeys for specific ones, etc.
Fistbump, bitches.
All right, people. It is not a gerbil. It is not a hamster. It is not a guinea pig. It is a death rabbit. Death. Rabbit. Say it with me, now.
