Team Fortress 2

[#HBC | Dark Horse]

So has anyone else ever wanted to try the near-impossible TF2 Drinking Game?

 

[KrIsP!]

Seriously?

I meant the fall season as I read your not going to be joining up for summer but I can google it myself anyways. Is there any sort of entrance...like testing? At that point it gets sort of stupid for me, just remembering back to the days of getting messages of people lower than you on an FPS leader board saying "wanna join my clan? just 1v1 me and i'll see if yur good enuf. even if you beat me or i sue the hardest weapons though it's my decision if your good enough k?"

Basically...is this fun or super serious? I understand wanting to win and adding some strategy but I've played with L4D groups who cuss out someone for ****ing up and that's not fun. The only reason I'd shell out the money for a new PC is to have fun. I've gotten bored of valve games even though I have a craving.

I want to playyyyyyy

Scout/Soldier/Medic/Engineer/Sniper

I won't fall asleep this time, Tery.

Let's hope not. Last I remember your Soldier was pretty good.

There won't be any sort of trials - especially since I've played with a majority of the players here - and we're not going to be full on super serious business. We all want to have fun and enjoy Highlander but like I said we expect you to be able to show up to practices, meetings, etc. and pull your own weight in the team. Some minor knowledge of competitive TF2 is kinda the "baseline" I guess. If you're a "W+M1" Pyro who doesn't know half the weapons, etc. it's going to be difficult playing with you.

That's too complicated. Here's the simpler version. Watch Quantic Legacy's matches from the last ESEA Season 10. Every time Macket offclasses, you drink.

 

[KrIsP!]

ehhh...I've never played competitively but I know some stuff and I'm not terrible. I mostly play soldier but I switch between engi/medic/pyro/spy when its necessary. Hopefully I get the chance to play with you guys.

I'm not really creative, so the only team name I came up with was "Smash World Fortress", so we could literally use "SWF" as the team tag. I'm sure other people have other names in mind or something.

Other team name:

Spoiler

never rely on me to make team names

 

[Morin0]

Smash World Fortress is pretty cool actually

MORINO APPROVED

 

[Veetaak]

Playing in a tf2 team would be pretty cool. Too bad you guys live in the US

My scout is pretty good from playing so much css

 

[Terywj [태리]]

We're still only at about 6 players, maybe edit the title to try and collect other people who are interested?

 

[Morin0]

^ Yeah, can we get this thread transferred to someone more active? As in, someone who plays TF2 anymore?

Spoiler

*cough* m@v *cough*

 

[John2k4]

How's that for a thread title? =)

Unless I magically get a job somehow this summer, I'll be free all day erryday for practice/whatnot.

 

[Morin0]

Thanks, John.

U a real friend.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Signups or recruitment work. We're aiming for like 12 players, with 9 starters and 3 subs. If someone could get M@v to look at this thread, that'd be fantastic.

 

[UltiMario]

I want to say I can do any of Scout, Soldier, Demo, or Medic, but IDK how much I'll be available this summer.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

We're planning for the fall season, not the summer season. So take into account your moving into and adjusting to college, etc.

 

[M@v]

Yo, I'm probably getting back into tf2. Some of you have been bugging me about it, so yeah. I should be good to go as a sniper for highlander stuff.

Formtive Roster
Terywj: Medic, Pyro, Soldier
Bionic: Engineer
John2K4: Demoman, Spy
GwJumpman: Scout, Pyro, Demoman, Soldier
Ulises: Spy, Pyro
M@v: Sniper
Krynxe: Heavy (?)

I think we'll experiment with starting lineups to see what works but we're looking at something like...

Terywj - Medic // Krynxe - Heavy // GwJumpman - Pyro
John2K4 - Demoman
Bionic - Engineer // M@v - Sniper // Ulises - Spy
I figured I'd place GwJ at Pyro since he used to play Spy a lot and so knows a lot of the tricks and such.

Krynxe is still a question mark as far as I know, but this is good progress considering summer is only starting. I know like two teammates from my 6's team might be interested in playing Soldier for Highlander so we'll see.

 

[Morin0]

wut

where am I?

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Whoops.

Terywj - Medic // Krynxe - Heavy // GwJumpman - Pyro
Morino - Scout
John2K4 - Demoman
Bionic - Engineer // M@v - Sniper // Ulises - Spy

That looks like a solid starting lineup, provided Krynxe will join us.

 

[Krynxe]

I most likely will be

 

[Isatis]

New map incoming in a TF2 update.

 

[Morrigan]

Anyone selling stranges?

I'm looking for
flamethrower, degreaser
southern hospitality, jag

 

[John2k4]

I have a lot of strange weapons, but sadly none of those. =(

[Krynxe]

Oh dude you have a battle bob? haha man, I was looking for one but it was so expensive when it came out. Is it still overpriced?

 

[John2k4]

I'll sell it to you for 1.5 ref or your best offer.

 

[Krynxe]

I used all my metal so I could buy a hat for Rei haha

I have these two vintage items I wouldn't mind trading, I imagine they're worth a lot because they're not only vintage but have irregular levels which was something that people could only get for a short while a few years ago. (lvl 25 Ambassador + lvl 24 C&D)

I don't want to underball though, idk if those vintages are really worth much or not. I'll just need to some to get metal or something else of value.

Edit: I'm also looking for gold paint, if anyone has.

 

[John2k4]

I've got vintage forms of both of those, and don't even pay attention to levels, sorry. =P

I'll hold the Battle Bob for ya. =)

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Protip: Levels don't add much to value unless it's like LV.1 or LV.100. Otherwise you'd have you find collectors of whatever specific number you're trying to sell for, and good luck with that.

I could be a bro and buy the Battle Bob from John and just give it to Krynxe for free but I recently used up 4 keys for a Strange Rocket Launcher, so...

 

[Krynxe]

Okay noted.

Also, you don't have to waste anything on me Tery.

 

[UltiMario]

Lv. 1 and 100 don't add value on 99.9% of items anyways.

It's level 0 that ups prices.

 

[M@v]

Safe to say I've unrusted now as a sniper =D

 

[Krynxe]

Idk, that enemy team looks awfully free

Spoiler

(to play)

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Thankfully the Machina isn't banned in UGC, should that be your favourite Snpier rifle.

 

[M@v]

It is my favorite sniper rifle. Even if it was banned, I'm proficient with the regular sniper rifle and Sydney sleeper. I just value the extra power and penetration shot ability (I actively go for these, usually on medic combos since the medics love to hide behind the healing target) over the weakness of having to scope. I still haven't mastered the range where they're just outside my jarate+bushwacka area yet, but I'll get it eventually. Yes I could just equip the SMG, but jarate+bushwacka is a far more versatile and useful loadout overall.

 

[Mic_128]

Is there a list somewhere of what the general legal weapons are for competative play?

 

[Krynxe]

team fortress wiki is a pretty good source in general

http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Category:Competitive
You can check whatever class that you're wondering about, but be sure to check their weapons page and not the class page to see their legality. So for instance, if you check Scout weapons (competitive) there will be a note about any weapon that is occasionally/frequently banned.

 

[Mic_128]

Anyone know if there's a way to see a person's 'time played as character' stats?

Log into the Steam community, look for person X, look through his or her games list until you find TF2, click View Stats, then X's Stats.
