I have got to stop buying PC games on 360 because it's so depressing reading about how much fun you guys are having.

And I need to just hurry up and buy this game period because it's so depressing reading about how much fun these guys are having.


Maybe I will stop at the mall after work and pick it up.

i just installed my drive and all of the orange box, im waiting for tf2 to update

LONGEST MINUTE(S) OF MY LIFE

Get it on steam

I would do that, but I am still waiting for my bank to let me get one of their credit cards.

i'd just get the orange box unless you already have portal/hl2 ep1 and 2, because steam wants $50 JUST for tf2, while the orange box itself is $50

And the orange box is a ridiculous $39 right now, there is pretty much NO REASON not to buy it unless you already own everything but Portal or TF2 or Ep2.

TF2 is worth the $50 or whatever anyways even if it was that price.

how does TF2 look on directX 8, and is it worth the graphical hit for FPS?

I need to find a way to stop my card from overheating when things get too...  actiony(engy defense, or demo/soldier rush), or graphics intensive.  My computer shuts down for 15 minutes when my card starts to overheat.

In other news, Medic is a pretty easy class to play.  I just topped a lot of my stats as him. (<New - Old> )
Points: 18 - 13 (Heavy, Pyro)
Assists: 25 - 11 (Pyro)
Healing:  3000~
Ubers: 3
Dominations: 3 - 2 (Pyro, 1 all other classes)

Medic can be frustrating when theres a lot of scouts or spies, especially on gravelpit at control point A, but most of the time i enjoy, im trying spy out a little but i find half the time the team starts losing because im GENERALLY the only medic :/

You can't use any of the advanced pixel shaders or effects like HDR or Motion Blur, but if you're sacrificing for performance they're already off anyways.

Open up the case and check that the fans are spinning properly, and have an unobstructed path to your video card. Maybe even clean up the dust if theres enough of it. If one of the fans is dead/dying, or you got a spare spot for an intake/exaust fan, pick one up at best buy or circuit city or a similar store for about $5. If even THAT doesn't work, you may want to try underclocking it a bit just to avoid the shutdowns.

I love the medic, but only when I feel confident in my team (or they don't have one). If they aren't able to push I feel almost forced to pick the soldier.

I have not played medic atall ever. Never played it in TFC either. I may play it soon. I'm really bored with soldier because they are only useful for taking out sentires. I'm finding scout to be pretty fun because people I've noticed take them as a priority kill so if you team's planning a rush on a point, just scoutrush in first towards the point and you get the enemy looking the other way towards you instead of your team, whilst also having half-capped the point by time you die.
I wanna try and do some engy as well again. First time I ever played as one recently and it was coolios.

how can you POSSIBLY think soldiers are only good for getting rid of sentries

HOW

yeah because soldiers never come up and crit rocket me in the face

ever

Am I the only one who is SO BORED of this game? When I first started everything was fun as hell, but really everything is the same with exception of BADLANDS. I got all the achievements, the game play is really getting old with me, what else is there to do?

Stick to buying a new single-player game once a month minimum imo.

I just started doing that tbh, not to get off topic or anything.
