woot time to install TF2 again

[43v3r THE PIZZA]

cool to bad i cant really play tf2 because i lag on tf2 

[[NotD] Ganryu]

eh, I played TF2 when I was still playing on my friend's Steam account. didn't care for it much, seemed a little too cartoony for me in terms of graphics.

[Sikk.]

I was playing in the scoutzknifez server and the Death Zones wouldn't work. It'll give you a warning but it wont explode you for illegal camping. I think its the server or if it was the new update that is making it not work.

[ShadowMomo]

Wow I'm gonna have too get back on sometime. Thats some major updating they did.

[MC EgGo MIXALOT]

What the ass balls sick?

I'll have to check this out next time I have time to play TF2.  Seems like a cheap "cash shop" feature to me though.  I only read up on it so who knows.  new items do sound fun.  Did anyone else notice they didn't list any for the Medic, Heavy or Demoman? I'm usually Medic so it made me sad. :[

Really?  I like TF2's graphics.  I like the cartoony look and it adds silliness to the game. :3

[Snafu]

well new weapon type add's usually come in waves of 2-3 so there will be some new ones down the road

Was..Thinking the same thing

eh, I got my limit for cartoony-looking graphics. the only games I could make exceptions for would be the games that make up for the cartonny graphics with great gameplay, which for me, TF2 doesn't deliver. it's just another shooter with cartoony graphics.

[Snafu]

Yes cause we all know that TF2 is the exact same as every other FPS in every minute detail
