    Team Fortress 2 is free this weekend.

    http://www.steampowered.com/goldrush/

    They're letting anyone who wants to download it and play for the weekend, so if you haven't checked this awesome FPS out I suppose it's as good a time as any.

    Although they also released the Medic Weapons pack, so the gameplays kinda borked with an over-abundance of noobie medics trying to get the guns.

    I want them to release weapon packs for ALL the classes. Plus alot of the requirements for the medics stuff is CRAZY.

        I played a bit. It lags the first time each round bullets start flying.

        I dunno. It's alright. I may play it a bit more while it's still free. xD

            Blizzard expanded to include Apple computers... You think Steam ever will?

              I hope not, because then we might have to start considering Mac users to be real people.
              Grow!

                I now feel that if I jump into TF2, that
                1. I will be terribly underskilled for months
                2. the process of me becoming skilled enough to be near good levels will take hundreds of hours
                3. these hundreds of hours will not really have been worth it.

                this is the same exact thing that happened to me with Dota, and I'm not quite ready to do it again. although, it'd be really cool if I got good with just ONE class.

                  lol dota, TF2 is really a pick up an play game.

                  Seriously though, I used to play on the Goon servers, now I play on SourceOP; both are pretty hard servers with a lot of good players, so I got rather good quickly. So if you want to get into it I'd say just join SourceOP's servers.

                  This isn't Counter Strike, it's not a ***** to get decent at. I'm good with both soldier and demoman and I have about 20 hours on each class (although the real amount of time is more around 10, my stats got ****ed up with all my glitching in private servers.)

                  I'm a damn good spy, however. Which has about 80 hours, legit. Yeah I'm ****ing ashamed of myself it's that high, what of it?

                  EDIT: If you do play avoid Scout, Spy, and Pyro for various reasons.

                  Scout: It's a fragile class and--unlike other classes--the gulf between a decent scout and a good scout is vast. Decent scouts aren't very dangerous, but a good scout is annoying as hell and can kill soldiers/medics/demomen with a few hits before they know what hit them.

                  Spy: Just a tricky class to master, and unlike other classes if you're a bad spy you're literally doing nothing to help the team. A crappy soldier or heavy can still get kills and help, a bad spy is just a useless jerk. A lot of people also say the spy is a gimped class.

                  Pyro: Pretty much agreed on as the most underpowered class, you'll get frustrated really easily. This is from someone who loves playing pyro.

                      Yeah, I played Scout a bit but Sniper seems to be more up my alley.

                      I'm painting my room but perhaps later today I can play. Garr, would you be interested in helping me not suck? xD

                        I am holding off playing for a short bit until I get the desire to. I wanted to play it with my boyfriend, but I didn't download it in time to play, and I'm seeing him tonight, so it might make it slightly hard to do so. If I like it though, I'll probably buy it. I'm just scared I'll jump into a game and get my ass royally kicked.

                          My pc is too jittery to handle this game. Or at least to handle it at settings I'd like it to handle at~!

                              I own this game, and I love it.

                              Too bad my PC sucks eggs and disables me from enjoying it.
