Team Fortress 2, and my ideas for it

The new payload map excites me. I really like that gametype, but only having it on gold rush. qq

There's a community made Payload adaptation of dust bowl, and db actually makes a pretty good payload map!

I need to try this. For some reason I usually shy away from customs.

I used to as well, mostly because of my old connection, but some are actually not bad


Orange X is ass though

heavy update has started:http://steamgames.com/tf2/heavy/

Last page, brah

Does anyone know of a date when said update is to be released? I'm hoping for this weekend. But considering it's Valve, I shouldn't get my hopes up.

Tuesday the 19th, supposedly, but I reckon Wednesday as Valve are like that.

Meet the Medic/Spy/Pyro!?!?!

Or maybe the new gamemode is Hunted? MEET THE CIVILIAN!? OH GOD I CAN'T WAIT

I say it's gonna be meet the medic since both the pyro and spy are the more mysterious of characters.

wait what about a new, meet the class. trailer???

I hope it's spy!

I'll repeat. I think it's gonna be the medic, and I actually hope it's gonna be the medic. I want to hear him being interviewed, with the accent and all. I think the pyro's going to be last since no one really knows what he/she looks like and it could be Valve's big chance to unveil a huge shocker.

sorry to say the map is fun up until the last point, which is horribly unbalanced, and became completely unplayable after a wile..the serer i was on eventually removed the map because of this...


also the new meet the is obviously the civilian..and the new game mode is obviously VIP mode. that's why they say it's a special meet the, rather than just sayign who teh meet the is about.. that makes sense that it's a different person than the normal team members

This is what I was thinking after seeing it was a "special" addition, but I think I'd rather see another one of the main classes done first.

Talking about payload maps, but is it just me or does it seem like BLU can rarely ever get it past part one of pl_goldrush? I've played on the map numerous times. And I've counted only twice where BLU managed to win the first out of three rounds. And then they couldn't win the second.

Are you playing on a fast respawn server? This happens on fast respawn servers, where red can just bust out of there bunker again instead of having to wait another 15+ seconds.

Nope it was 15 seconds all the same. The server BLU managed to get through was when I was on BLU and the other team was full of, er, how you say, "noobs."

Maybe blu wasn't doing it right?

Iunno usually teams make it past the first section 80% of the time, second section almost always if the get that far, and the last point is only captured about 45-50% of the time that people get that far.

I guess I must be hitting that 80% of the time 100% of the time. The first time I played it was when I was on the FPSBanana Wombat Server with a bunch of the other Banananites. The teams were pretty evenly matched.

this new game mode intrigues me, as valve says they have five new "arenas" for it, instead of "maps"
