Waaah, they added completely optional things (which a server can turn off) and more people started playing: QQqqqq

With Valve, who the fuck knows. My guess is around 3 or 6 PM Pacific time since Valve is (obviously) on Pacific time.

I totally lost interest in TF2 once they released the hats and made it F2P. This looks fairly intriguing and I want to play more.

The trailer was cool but I wished they showed some of the gameplay. Do you play as the robots? I haven't really been keeping up with TF2 in years.

Anyone know the actual TIME this gets released? I saw this trailer already and it only says the day, which is today, and so far I see no co-op being installed to my game or any info on when it all goes live.

With Valve, who the fuck knows. My guess is around 3 or 6 PM Pacific time since Valve is (obviously) on Pacific time. Any later than 6 and we're getting into stupid territory with the update. We're talking past 9 PM Eastern time in the US, which means some people already went beddy bye. :D

A trick I found out, if you play quake 1 and the right after play TF2 you will play like a pro cause quake1 is so much faster than TF2.

Even as a rabid TF2 player, I found this even happens when I've been watching back demos/replays I've save at more than 100% speed. Then the actual game seems real slow.

Also, someone made a continuity error in this trailer. Scouts bat can't decide if it wants to be Metal or Wood hehe.

I need an excuse to get back into TF2. I stopped playing after I grew tired of random public servers (and the server I frequented became annoyingly good at decimating me), but maybe this will change that, at least for a little while.

Hoping it's fun.

tf2.tested.com is the Tested TF2 server! You can also find it by searching, it's named the "tested man cave".

@Pop: I totally agree. When the TF2 became free to play, I played for a couple of days and after only a few matches I could get pretty high up on the scoreboard.

Playing Quake or something equally fast before is a good idea. I wonder if it can be applied to BF3 by playing CS or something. ActionQuake, that's it!

You don't need to be pro to play this game, there are plenty of servers and you can find your skill level, I play sometimes and there are some servers where the pro people play and own me and some servers where I'm doing ok.

The fact that they made it free to play means there are a lot of noobs to own, you just have to play it a little bit, the soldier is pretty easy cause you got that rocket launcher that has a pretty good spread so your aiming doesn't need to be top notch.

A trick I found out, if you play quake 1 and the right after play TF2 you will play like a pro cause quake1 is so much faster than TF2.

Oh and this update will help with finding you more noobs to fight. (I'm commenting on this cause I heard them on the bombcast saying that you will get destroyed if you start playing deathmatch now).

@Gunslinger0130: All the post-launch updates are PC only. But TF2 has been free for a while, so there's no reason not to play the PC version. ;)

This is probably a stupid question but is this DLC PC exclusive?

i'm pretty sure that the console versions have not had any updates at all at this point soo...i would guess so.
