No, but TF2 has become the most played game on steam over night, so downloads concerning the game(or the whole of steam? dunno lol) are slow as hell.

Hah, a good move by Valve, probably. The game ought to become very big now, considering how popular the game is already.
Personally, I lost interest pretty quickly, though I did play the crap out of it the period I was into it. I liked vanilla TF2 way better than what it is nowadays, though.

I used to play on a friend's account and enjoyed it, but not enough to spend money on it. I'll now be able to get my shooter fix when it comes about once every couple weeks!
|
the TF2 wiki is down (essentially DDoS'd by everyone wanting to look stuff up) does anyone know a good place to look-up all the changes since a few years ago?
|
Majority of the best items are what you start with the "vanilla set" of items.
And ye youll notice a good scout/demo or solly a mile off when u see one

You are cheating. I started the download about 8 hours ago, and still don't even have half the game.

It keeps lagging on me. One minute its 600-700 kbs, the next its below 20

Before people start complaining to much about those who did buy the game against those who are just now getting it for free, should really look at the official FAQ:
http://www.teamfortress.com/freetoplay/faq.php
Now, is it worth the $20, $10, or even $5 you spent on tf2? Well thats whats up for debate. Personally for me it is, simply because of how much time Ive spent playing tf2 compared to other FPS (Only other I can really think of that I enjoyed was halo 2)

really slow DL 6 hours left with 120 kb /sek ..
|
i remember this game

As far as I'm concerned I got the game for a steal via the orange box.
|
bought orange box like 3-4 weeks ago mainly cause of tf2 (tho wanted to play hl2 episode 1&2 also). free to play is great since it draws more people in and overall is just amazing that valve makes one of the most fun multiplayer shooters nowadays f2p.

Change servers to some other countries like Denmark/Germany/netherlands. Increases your dl speed sometimes. I usually use "eastern bloc" countries when i download from steam. works much better, i dunno why tho.

Thanks, I changed country to Finland and it bumped up my DL speed to 180-500 kb. Its a bit unstable though :C

Make sure to include [TL] in your name. Maybe someone can make a teamliquid steam group?

|
