Team Fortress 2
« on: September 23, 2007, 02:54:08 PM »
Okay, so Shadohawk set up a private server and 10 or so of us got into game this weekend.  All I have to say is, if you haven't bought it yet.....GET IT.  This is going to be very popular at the next LAN.  I can see a lot of time being dedicated to this game in the next and future LANs. :10: :10:

I used to be a steam hater.

But, I have now purchased the orange box, Medievil Total War II, and Dark Messiah Might and Magic over Steam.  My observations:
1) No cracks, keygens, etc. Either you own it or you don't.  Alleviates the potential for decompression bombs, virii, etc.
2) No more "what patch do are we on".  Nothing worse than 1942 and the 1.619 vs 1.61B.  You patch in the wrong order and your done.  Reinstall.
3) Your rig goes down, you have a previously copied over the steam directory to archive.  You reinstall you OS, install steam, exit steam, re copy your steam files and you may be a minor download or 2 away from playing, but its all there and ready2 run.
D) TF 2 FARKIN ROX.  No more CounterPeggle BattleSource for a little bit at the LANs!!!!!

OK OK OK....I realize I am going to have to buy TF2 cause it is going to be played at LANs in the future.  Should I spend the extra money on the orange box and get half life 2 etc. (which I don't own yet) or should I just get TF2??

Same boat here, but I do own HL2 and Ep. 1....  Also I'm not even sure my pc will run it decently enough to be playable.  I saw Sully's PC run it, and I am pretty sure his is much better than mine, but I could be wrong....Sully what are you running again?

decepticon, go here: http://www.freakygaming.com/pc/action/team_fortress_2/system_requirements.html

My system is EXACTLY what the ideal specs are! I think TF2 was built with my very computer in mind.

For running the game smooth in 1280x1024 with High Quality graphics.

"CPU: 3.4 GHz Processor
RAM: 1024 MB
Graphics Card: Radeon X800 or Geforce 6800
Windows 2000/XP/ME/98
Mouse
Keyboard
Internet Connection
CD or DVD rom drive "

This can't be right, these are my specs almost exactly as well....I have 1.5gb ram though.  Are these the 'official' spec req's?

I'm running an A64 4000+, 6800GT 256mb AGP, 1.5gb ram... I am running the game on highest quality, 1680x1050, and the game rarely bogs down at all, even with the screen saturated by entities and particle effects.

Hey Rathe I would spring for the Orange Box. You get all the good stuff, and don't forget about portal.

even though it includes HL2 and episode 1 & 2 and portal.....I doubt I will play them at all....so I am not going to bother paying the extra $15
