Jeo said:Yup, yours to keep.
criesofthepast said:So anyone else getting choppy audio? Is that a server problem or what?
jaundicejuice said:The new interface is honestly kind of shit, big dumb buttons and pop ups everywhere, I liked the old minimalist menu in the lower left hand of the screen, leaving the rotating artwork to dominate the screen. At least there's still a server list.

Zerokku said:Jumped in this one and played some CTF. Not a mac player but I am a newbie so I figured I'd start playing today and no one would really notice.
I Was the Blue Pyro Zerokku. Hope I did okay. For those who were also in there, how did I do for my first time? Only previous TF2 experience was the training thing, and a practice session to try out the classes.=
Nabs said:you did fine. just remember to use your secondary attack to put out fires. i think you actually put me out at the end when i had 1hp, so close :lol
Thank you! I'll try that in the morning.Jeo said:Ive never had that problem but if your audio doesn't improve some of your files might be corrupt
Select Team Fortress 2, right click options, local files, verify integrity of game cache
That usually fixes any problems I run into
Zerokku said:Glad to hear I wasnt terrible. Felt like I was doing pretty good but cant really tell.
EmCeeGramr said:boy the scotsman's skullcutter is sooo awesome, glad i had the materials necessary to craft it )))
Yeah, just raped a whole other team on ctf_well by ubering a Heavy outside and around their spawn. He racked up like 30 kills before the uber ended, then I ran back with the intelligence to cap for the win.Nessus said:Let you in on a secret: a majority of the people you play against on random servers are awful because they are generally more concerned with getting kills than actually benefiting the team and winning the match.
Wallach said:What server are you guys playing on? NeoGAF server seems empty?
That was more or less the point of the "Nubathon". New people, one map, lots of wacky and fun chaos and not much to worry about in the vein of superb skill or team coordination (though we definitely did see a lot of the latter, I was surprised we finished two 10-capture rounds on 2fort as quickly as we did :lol ).Nessus said:Let you in on a secret: a majority of the people you play against on random servers are awful because they are generally more concerned with getting kills than actually benefiting the team and winning the match.

TaKeRx said:Uh sorry to sound really dumb, but how do you download it for free? I keep seeing $9.99. Is it MAC only?
Vigilant Walrus said:This performance thing, is it Apple or Valves fault?
And it's because it's using OpenGL and not DirectX right?
And DirectX is owned and run by Microsoft, so Apple can not do it on their platform, right?

Mr 500 points lol. You're a maniac :0Mo the Hawk said:But very good fun all around tonight. I tried not to fight my hardest too often, because whenever I did, people would try to voteban me...
NekoFever said:It ran like shit on my MBP (2.16GHz C2D, 2GB RAM, X1600). People on the official forum who have 10.6.4 say they're getting up to like 70% performance gains with that depending on their particular graphics chipset so I'll wait until that comes out before I give up and wait for a new computer or radically optimised version of TF2.
Mo the Hawk said:Game is still going on. Good lord I don't know how some of you guys can tolerate 3 straight hours of non-stop 2fort. And 2fort rounds set to first to 10 captures instead of 3! :lol
Next time we should explore Capture Point and Payload maps. Those force the rounds to end in reasonable amounts of time.
But very good fun all around tonight. I tried not to fight my hardest too often, because whenever I did, people would try to voteban me...

Revolutionary said:commisar and Wallach you bastards... trying to have a sniper battle with me on 2Fort when I'm using the Huntsman! :lol
But yeah, I like the earbuds I see people wearing in-game. Going to have to borrow a Mac during the weekend to log on.
Vigilant Walrus said:Well, then my follow-up is, why haven't they done anything about it instead of this? Why release this, when it sends out negative feedback and unhappy customers about their products not working?

RevenantKioku said:So I get it installed (not bought yet, still have that issue) and everyone is done playing? :lol Fuck.
Yeah, but it's running like utter ass. Quite disappointing. I may not buy it.AniHawk said:you managed to get it installed? i think steam's broken for me. i played portal once a month ago and then it would say validating files and nothing would happen. now it's saying servers are busy, which i guess they are, but even when i turn it offline to play portal it says it's busy.
Red Scarlet said:Hope I did ok. Never saw the intel as far as I know. Was confusing w/ no radar or anything. Had a fun little sniper shootout going at the end. That last match I was like top scorer on my team (dunno how to get score) almost the whole match, don't know how that happened. Think I did okay for my first time.

Was fun though, kind of liked the medic and I think the sniper probably doesn't get that much use in 'serious' games, soldier was kind of fun.
