Orange box & Team Fortress two beta thread

[evil twin]

I can't believe how fun this is. I didn't expect it to be this good. I have stuck to the 2fort and well servers so far. 2fort is nicely true to the original despite having lovely updated graphics.

Well isn't really anything like the old version but it doesn't matter, it still seems like a good map. I've tried all the classes now and they all seem really playable, despite the lack of grenades.

Many hours will be wasted on this one.

This game is so much fun. Went spy and cloaked into an enemy soldier, then i notice the medic on the other team healing me, so i turned around and knifed him in the back lool

How are the snipers? I loved just sitting on the battlements of 2fort picking off opposing snipers and as many people crossing the bridge as I could. Any major changes, or have they kept them relatively the same?

they are pretty much the same

the bridge on 2fort has a roof now so u gotta be really quick to snipe someone on the ground

also i gotta say that i really really disliked 2fort in tfc (most overrated map ever imo) but the tfc2 version kicks ass

There was this awesome, awesome map/mod made for TFC called Murderball (I think) - 4 bases and you have to grab the ball from the middle and bring it back to yours. I really hope someone recreates it.

There were so many great TFC user-made maps but they almost never got played. I loved a lot of the hunted type maps as well.

Any map that features a bunch of Mexicans with umbrellas trying to jump an electric fence or get on a truck while facing La Migra = great [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I can't believe this game was first announced in 1998 or so. I am pumped.

I put my name on the preorder list at EBGames for it.... it looked NOTHING like this TF2. It was supposed to be ultra-realistic and featured teammates that would reload machine guns while you fire (LIKE OMG SO COOL!)

I wonder what happened to the staff of that version...

When I try to load up TF2 I see the valve screen, see a background with 4 characters. Then nothing [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]. Apparently according to some boards I've read I'm not the only person with this problem [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Hahaha, thanks for the reminder. That was some hilarious stuff, my old QTF clan used to all jump into that after a match.

As to those stuck on one of the loading screens, that actually happened to me. It was Zonealarm in the background asking if I wanted some process to access the internet. If you run a software firewall it's worth checking that possibility out.

WHERE IS 32SMOOTH? [M]egadeth? this game is awesome but the spy really really really needs grenades

Edit: soldier needs grenades too because the perfect grenade+rocket combo was maybe the best thing ever
