Any of you guy ever get into TFC? I'm downloading the new one now, it looks like it's gonna kick ass. It only took almost a decade to release the second one, it better be good.

never heard of it

Was originally a Halflife mod that became extremely popular, now they finally released the second one that comes with Halflife 2 and all the expansions.

The cartoon look has grown on me but I still think those damn spies are overpowered with invisibility and disguise. Being the only class I don't play makes them hate me even more.

I really miss the old medics.

I'm finding it tough to find a server where people talk and work together and the players are at least a little regular, still none in favorites.

I bought the Orange box a few weeks ago so I could play TF2. It is ****ing awesome IMHO it is the best multiplayer FPS in a long time

I still play the original and have been waiting for the game to come out of beta to buy it. I'm the asshole medic that concs to the upper deck from half way across the map, runs downstairs, nail guns the SG, concs the heavy then runs up and infects him then last concs up the elevator shaft.

Well that's the way it's supposed to work anyway.

Soldiers and pyros are fun too.

Give a review of what you think and how it compares to the original when you get a chance. Might have to buy it this weekend if I can find a way to purchase without re-paying for 1/2 my games again.

Concs? English please?

Concs = Concussion Grenades

Medics are the sole class given them in the game. The can be used to stun an enemy or when timed correctly they can be used to launch yourself like you were shot from a cannon gaining access to heights that would normally require an elevator or series of stairs.

I can't open YouTube from work but this video looks like it might give a good demonstration:

Gamer geek stuff.

Any advice for a TFC newbie? I bought the orange box yesterday and am struggling online. I can't even figure out how to build stuff with the engineer. I really like the game I just can't figure out how to play each guy effectively and I get killed really easily even as the heavy.

Also, what is the supposed counter for the spy? It seems like he is almost unstoppable when you are playing a huge 16 vs 16 game and there is just mass chaos in one room. He simply goes invisible and runs around to the backside of the battle and wipes out half the guys before they can figure out what is going on.

The medics don't have grenades anymore. The only class that does is the Demoman which is great IMO.

I'm in the same boat man, I just can't justify it after paying for HL 2 gold when it released. I figured that coin would cover future expansions but all it gave me were mods like DoD Source that came out soon after HL2

People like you are fun to have on your team. A pain when not.

A couple good soldiers and medics can really wreck havac on the defense.
I always believed a good offense is the best defense in that game.

I like being a medic solly or engy.

Being an engy i would always nade the sniper decks. They would always get pissed.

I spent most of last night playing TF2. it's pretty addicting. the classes have been streamlined, there arent any more nades to spam, all the good maps from TFC made it to TF2.

I'm not even going to get around to playing HL2 episode 2 for some time.
