Team Fortress 2

[Mr. Tastix]

All I've got to say is, Gabe has been playing too much WoW.

Poor bastard. I play that game, I've seen the people on the game. They are not right in the head. This does not mean to say I am because I am not right in the head either. But fortunately, I know when to stop talking about fucking Chuck Norris.

People who have been playing WoW have developed exceptional skill at math however, shame they could use it a lot more in the real world. Why math?, anyone who has played WoW realises that the entire tactics of the game is ran entirely by math and precise execution. Here is the study: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26271240/

[Mastakilla]

lmao I just read a bit in one of those links, about

"Other studies confirmed earlier research that found students who played violent games tended to be more hostile, less forgiving and believed violence to be normal compared to those who played nonviolent games."

Seriously that's so stupid. Maybe those people play violent games because they are already violent and like to vent it out on those games. And non violent people prefer non violent games because... well they're non violent!

Sorry for off topicness, continue rape.

[James]

Oh don't worry, only 4 people here own TF2 anyway.

[Mr. Tastix]

Seriously, only 4 TF2 game owners? Holy shit. I've seen heaps of people who hate TF2 though, where I love it lol. As for that new Heavy update. That's fucking awesome. THAT'S MY FUCKING FAVOURITE TYPE OF SAMICH (I so have to stop calling them that).

As for video games making you smarter, some can, others can't. But intelligence is usually a lot safer than violence unless you mix the two, lol. I hate the whole crap with violent video games. Yes, I've become more aggressive because I play video games, but I don't want to kill anyone either. I don't feel that urge.

[James]

Arena mode is basically CS, but good.

[Mr. Tastix]

TF2 is probably the only MP game I actually really like.

[James]

http://steamgames.com/tf2/heavy/ Shameless promotion, preload to play this Fri-Sun

[Mr. Tastix]

Lol, pointless if you've already got the game like us. And how many peeps actually look at this shit when they don't own the game in the first place?

[James]

They will if they're motivated, and I keep pestering them so they'd have to do it sometime. Max was going to do it til he realised he has 131mb space left in his hard drive LOL

[Baleout]

=o

I would try it, but my computer is useless

Heh you're right.

Anyway.



Arena mode is perfection to me, except that it should be bumped to 9 by default to promote 1 of each class.

Each trump card class comes into effect, because everyone is trying to be more careful true skill and very satisfying and fair combat come into play. It has never felt so good murder the other team before, and only having the one chance to in that round... and the best thing is that if you aren't good enough and your team loses, you sit out for the round automatically and feel guilt that if you were good enough you would of still been playing and so would all of your team.

[Mr. Tastix]

I just realised, I never uninstalled TF2 at all. FUCKING ACE. Now to update it... this could take awhile, lol.

[James]

funny lol

[Mr. Tastix]

IT'S TAKEN ALL FUCKING DAY TO UPDATE TF2 (well, 5 hours lol) BUT I HAVE DONE IT. WOOT. Now to never uninstall it again therefore never having to update from the start... (I can't tell if I uninstalled or not, don't think I did lol).

LOL

guy doesn't half sound like Heath's Joker too.

[James]

Sniper to get mid range primary weapon, interesting, and better not be an instant kill. Maybe just a semi automatic rifle without scope that'll be interesting and cool with the lack of long range weapons except for rocket launcher, pistol and SMG.

[Mr. Tastix]

http://teamfortress.com/post.php?id=2477

Read it.

[James]

Yeah forgot to post that, thanks.

Quoting that I posted:

MY GUESS IS TO HAVE SNIPER TO HAVE MID RANGE NON-SCOPED SEMI AUTOMATIC RIFLE AS HIS PRIMARY WEAPON

PROS:
FUCKING NIGGER YES THIS GAME NEEDED MORE RANGED WEAPONS LIKE THE PISTOL/SMG/ROCKET LAUNCHER

SNIPER ABLE TO FIGHT BEHIND HIS TEAM'S FORCES AND SUPPORT THEM FROM THE BACK -ON THE MOVE- WHICH IN TURN HE CAN STILL BE A SNIPER BUT HE HAS A LOT MORE MOBILITY

FLAWS:
THE FLAW IT ISN'T SCOPED SO IT DOESN'T HAVE PRESSURE POWER LEADING TO INSTANT KILLS OR LONGER RANGE SHOTS

REPLACING POWER FOR MOBILITY
CAPITALS YEAH

[Mr. Tastix]

Oh don't worry, only 4 people here own TF2 anyway.

Is this still the case, btw?

Joking, check the DXMP group and their games for TF2. I think it's pretty much everyone.
