    Well, since Everypony seems to have a sizable TF2 playerbase now (especially after it became F2P), why not have a discussion thread about our favorite game involving control points and exploding bomb carts?

    About
    Team Fortress 2 is a class-based first-person shooter that involves a conflict between RED and BLU. The player is able to choose from 9 classes, each with their own area of expertise. There are various game modes to play and Valve staff has keep this game updated since 2007. As of June 23rd 2011, TF2 was made free-to-play, so that anyone with a Steam account can start playing.

    Classes
    Offense
    Scout
    : The quickest class packs a mean punch up close with his Scattergun and completes objectives at twice the normal rate.
    Soldier: This class has high health and may appear slow, but can perform crazy maneuvers with rocket-jumps.
    Pyro: Pyro is the deadly close-quarters class that can finish off enemies that are set on fire with its flamethrower.
    Defense
    Demoman
    : The main explosives class is the best bet to break through any nest, but he can also set explosive traps for the enemy.
    Heavy: Commonly seen wielding some type of minigun, this class makes the best tank complemented by a high damage output.
    Engineer: He's able to build turrets for defense, dispensers that give health and ammo, and teleporters for the team.
    Support
    Sniper
    : The only class with a sniper rifle and the ability to take down the biggest threats from a long range.
    Medic: The class that provides the backbone for every team with his healing and ability to give a teammate temporary invincibility.
    Spy: The stealthy class that is able to cloak, backstab enemies for an instant kill, and even disguise himself among them.

    So discuss! Um, Engineer is a pretty chill guy I guess.

    Spies: you hate them (unless you're a spy)

    Spy seems to be the one class I can't nail any kills in, heck I've taken down more people as Medic then Spy.

    I hate spies. Except for the enemy team's, because they're easy as hell to kill.

    But I AM HEAVY. THIS IS YOUR SINGING DISPENSER I HOPE IT FINDS YOU WELL.

    Act, you in the radio steam group?
    When we've coordinated matches, we've been doing it from that chat

    Btw, is it just me or are the Tf2 servers from the FiM steam group never up?
     
  7. Yup, just joined today. I'm the guy with Celestia's sun symbol for an avatar.

    The FiM servers appear to be up, but also completely full. Couldn't find them in the server browser though, so I had to type the address out manually.

    No, I'm just waiting until I can get a PC to actually host it for at least 24 hours a day. It'll take a while and a lot of convincing my dad.

    I used to play as Combat engineer but with the new weapons Combat engineer is kind of difficult to use now. I play solider now.

    They're too busy giving the space age techy alien pistols (yes, it looks more like a large pistol rocket launcher) to, not the smart guy, but the jar head who rarely says anything other then "Maggots!"

    Yeah, pretty much.

    I tend to play a lot as Heavy, Engineer, Sniper, Medic, and Scout. All equally. I NEVER play Demoman, he's just... I can't use him.
