Hello Everyone,

I just wanted to say that the Orange Box is getting some notice with their first New Multi-player Shooter. I did some reading and they are telling us they removed the Grenades as they believe the grenades take some of the fun out of the game by abusers whom spend hours finding loopholes. They also said that they made up for the grenades by bringing back percussion jumps and altering skills in a way that you really gotta pay attention.

I hope that EA is paying attention to what other companies are doing or find a scenario for the Battlefield Series.

Below is a Kewl (cool) recently released video & the expressions the characters make are so crazzy they just might make you laugh. Take a look at the official site as all the clips are very interesting: http://orange.half-life2.com/tf2.html

Note: By the way I heard this was in the making for 10 years.

 TF2 rocks.

After going to the website and watching the trailers...I think this will be my next game!

Who's with me?

Norton

The TF2 Mod has been in the building stage for over 10 years Norton. I am sure they got this one down better then anyone but It's a little different game. Actually it kinda reminds me so much of the old quake days (Concussion Jumps "Yea Yea"). I think this would be an all out relaxing game. However, for some serious team-play and competition I think Frontlines: Fuel of War might just take over The Battlefield Series Games as the king of multi-player first person shooters.

 I also wrote some stuff on the Helio's and Planes. "Targets going to be back in the Jet's for sure" : http://ugcgamers.com/forums/t/384.aspx

These are the original DC Game builders with Frank Delise and they are going to be making something totally new!!!  Read more about it on the official site to see what you think and reply with a comment or two.

Your such a wise***Uh - man and it's fun to read!

Bumping this to the top...we NEED to get this game next week when it comes out!

I want to be the hillbilly sniper!  Yee Haw!

Wow....you ignorant old people, lol.

Team Fortress 2 was to be the end all game back in 1998.  Some history...Team Fortress Classic is a mod for Quake roughly 1997, it is then made for Half Life 1 where it gains super popularity.  Sierra and Valve jump on it and put into development 'Team Fortress 2', it was going to depart from the original in that it was going to be a real war game, much like BF2 with driveable vehicles and modern military equipment.  The game was going to still retain Capture the Flag, Assassination, and some of the games of the original but a whole different look, feel and physics.  TF2 was also going to break some significant milestones including having in game voice, and to sync soldier's lips to when you spoke.  In 1998 there were screens leaking in PCGamer, then it moved to a video available online, and then....nothing...for the next couple of months there was a set release date, yet when it came up to that date it was pushed back (much like the still anticipated Duke Nukem Forever) and back yet again.  Eventually PCGamer left TF2 on the books as TBA.  Some speculated that Sierra/Valve were busy working on TF2 but were keeping tight lipped about it in a chance to surprise the gaming populous with it.  Many gaming magazines would seek out Sierra/Valve's booths in E3 just to see if it was there.  Year after year we were losing hope until finally we knew it wasn't coming.  In a sense the original TF2 idea that was worked out did not come to fruition, but it did come in as a great, well executed idea.

Hey,

   Did you call me old?  That's it, I am driving down to kick yer tail!  BTW, can we hit fudruckers again while I am there?

Ive been waiting for this game ever sense TFC came out..  I already had this game ordered at gamestop and also paid for.. so ill be there with everyone else

 Half-Life 2 server is up. Max players is 24.

BTW, Scout, if you have any idea on how to setup the server I could use a hand.  I can't even find a game CC for it.

Connection Info: 

Norton -> Provided the foot sodomy doesn't last so long....sure, I'm always up for Fuddruckers.  Anything for the elderly.  :0)

BigTarget -> TF2 Server, you might be able to coerce 'e' (aka UNKNOWNSOULJAH) to help you set it up, btw its best to wait until he's high to ask for help (he's friggin hillarious doing things high).  As to  ETQW, we've moved away from it, but we did do the TGL ETQW tourney, and for that Badger set up the server for us, so you might want to ask him.

Best of luck!

Anything for the elderly.  :0)

 Oh, IT'S ON!

Just beat portal....

Holy crap, at first I thought the announcer was annoying, then it grows on you, you'll actually find it hillarious.  Wait till you get to the companion cube level, that'll crack you up, lol.  If you can get off the beating trail, get off it and read the walls and see the pictures.  The game is a lot of fun, and the puzzles kick butt.  Not to mention there is developer commentary!  In short many of us in bt have gone apeshit over playing every game Orange Box provides and this is simply one of those games. 

Wow,  you guys are going "Ape" over Orange Box. I guess I gotta get it...

By the way, I had wicked times with each and every Half-Life Game put out so far. Also, I think people look at Valve as the top producer of highly technical & quality games. For some reason they always seem to have something leaked that pushes the game back for more than I can bear & 10 years is the tops...

I agree with you but it is very worth it and plus you get like 5 games for one so.. but now that i can play it i think it was worth the wait..
