GW STEAM COMMUNITY



THE LOWDOWN
Basically the current GW steam community is pretty horrific. It is not updated ever, Mike is an admin and has not been online in nearly a year maybe? it is not clear that it exists, there are never any events and overall it is pretty poor and not managed at all. So me and Rowain who use Steam and play our Steam games everyday have decided that with the upcoming release of l4d it would be a good time to start promoting steam and set up a better steam group. GAMING WORLS was taken so we bring to you the google adsense discussion group (gadg)

Now that we are hoping to re-vitalize the steam community pitch in any suggestions you have for events or organizing of games and we'll definitely take it into account. Even if it is not a case of doing it frequently and you just want to say HEY LET'S ALL PLAY GMOD ON FRIDAY then throw it this way and hopefully we can get some GW community games going. Also when l4d is released I don't really want to play with random netjerks so we should organize group games between the lot of us so we can actually play with cool chaps and not idiots who are going to get us demerits by running in front of us while we are shooting.

WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS TO JOIN YOUR CLAN I AM NOT GOOD AT SHOTTER GAMES
This is not a clan, you do not need to wear a tag or any of that gay shit. If you enjoy playing games then just hit the join button and don't ask permission and don't wear a gaytag. We are hopefully just a group of people who play games and want to play more games in groups of cool people.

WHAT ARE THE POPULAR GAMES THAT YOU GUYS PLAY?
Once it becomes clearer what games people are playing regularly then I will update this list but currently we play a lot of this:

  • Team Fortress 2
  • left4dead (we will play a lot of this no doubt about it)
  • Garry's Mod
  • Zombie Panic! Source
  • D.I.P R.I.P Warm Up
Other games that people might play but unconfirmed.

  • Counterstrike
  • Team Fortress Classic
  • Day of Defeat
  • Half-Life 2: DM
  • Insurgency
  • Synergy
Got something to add to this list? Let us know...

CONCLUSION
The old GW steam community was stale, old, boring and never updated... this one is better. Join us and let's play games.

If you guys want to get a TF2 day going again then let me know. Like if you want to redo that SUN-DAY thing then we can do that just suggest a day, although sunday is not the best day for me.

Hey so I got Rowain to post an l4d release day party event plan. On the day l4d is released we are all going to party it up and shot some zombies. It's a Tuesday, 18th, all day. Be there or be square.

They will be using the same engine, so L4D should have very similar performance to TF2. Less models on screen, and far less projectiles/particles flying everywhere means heated action won't chop as bad. They are actually improving dual core support, so if you have a multi core processor you should have a better chance of smooth gameplay. Valve is great at making their games scale well with lower end systems. Even if you have to turn the graphics down a bit, it will, at it's worst, look like a very awesome hl2 zombie mod.

Actually L4D, while being a Source game, has almost twice as big system requirements as TF2. I can't find the system specs but they were pretty high.

EDIT:
Actually the specs are pretty similar BUT I think the recommended TF2 specs are the same as the minimum specs for L4D, I don't know for sure because it doesn't say anywhere whether these are minimum or recommended.

Someone should just contact Mike and get him to hand the reins of the group over to someone who's online more because I doubt enough people will join this.

This is what I assumed but the released requirements are much higher

It's the best name. We brainstormed for like 43 seconds to come up with this name.

Actually they're the exact same as TF2/Episode 2's reccomended requirements. Just like how TF2 runs as well as HL2:Ep2, we can expect VERY similar performance in L4D. If it runs slower than either, it will be only slightly so. Same engine, its pretty much a TC mod for it. And like I was talking about earlier, the smaller rooms and increased dual core support will no doubt shrink whatever gap there may be, if any. I can say with great confidence that if you can run Episode 2 and Team Fortress 2 fine, playing L4D should be no issue.

From what's been released so far, if someone has to run TF2 on really really low / use -dxlevel 80, they might not be able to play L4D. While it uses a similar engine, the advanced AI and shaders and such used in the game to give it its distinct movie-esque feel is going to really affect the specs for the lower end PCs that might be able to run TF2. Anyone who can run it modestly or on high has nothing to worry about though.

I agree with all this (and yes I will be at the forefront shooting zombies in the face soon), but the name is just so shit. It's kinda funny the first time (sorta, not in a 'lol' way - more a 'oh. THATS gw?'), but it just totally defeats the purpose. NOBODY knows what the fuck it is, even at Gaming World, unless someone specifically tells them. If someone goes looking for 'our' group on steam they're gonna see this and ignore it. The GW group, whilst a bit fucked, is definately MORE useful than this. Just gotta get mike to hand it over.
