Team Fortress 2 night

So there I was, reading another forum I occasionally frequent, and they started talking about how their TF2 night was coming arriving, and I thought, why don't we have one? So, I'm making this thread to see how many people we got here who play TF2, and whether we can't have some fun.




If this has already been done or attempted please quietly tell me and I'll go sit in a corner somewhere and just age for a while.

Because there's nobody here, I'm probably going to be the only one replying to this topic.

Is there a better place I could put this as to attract the attention of others?

I'd play if you could get a decent amount of people to play who I don't hate.

I play infrequently.

Infrequently is enough, as long as you're on the day we all do this. So we've got 3 people so far, 4 counting me. I'll start getting a day set up once we've got at least 8, because matches smaller then 4v4 tend to get dull, unless you guys would be ok with a 3v3.

I am probably really late to the party, but if we ever have a TF2 night, I'd join.

Hey, late is better than never, although I think anyone who wanted to join earlier would probably be discounted unless they say something again. I don't think this will get anywhere still, though.

I'd sure like to be aboard this. But what would be better is if someone were willing to create a community-exclusive server to avoid more trolls and make this whole event easier. Not that that will be easy in any sort of way, since making a server is difficult without setting your computer into danger. But honestly my idea is incredibly doubtful. We could probably find some abandoned server with a few people though. Too bad not a lot of people seem to be interested in this. I think a TF2 night is a great idea.

If everyone is willing to download hamachi hosting a server wouldn't be too hard. Otherwise it wouldn't be me, I tried port forwarding and couldn't get it to work. Although I'm sure that an empty server wouldn't be hard to find anyways.

3 people so far, 8 is what I think we should at least have before we get this going (any less than 4v4 really wouldn't be too fun)

I'm gonna throw my staff weight around a little and officially endorse this, and sticky it in Scrap Brain. Also note that Zez very much likes the idea as well. He probably forgot about this thread specifically, but he just mentioned the idea of a "TF2 night" to me privately; might as well recycle data where appropriate. He's busy -- else, certainly seems busy -- as of late, though, and is having difficulty accessing this site on top of that due to computer troubles, so I'm saying such on his behalf.

Also, unless the damned apocalypse happens around me, (It does occasionally, so no promises.) I would definitely be a part of this.

I'll still participate if there's enough interest.

Fantastic! This makes the total number of people 5, if everyone is still in. Just a few more and we have enough for a bare bones match, one more if you guys are ok with 3v3 (but that may not be worth it).

If I had the game, I'd do it. Maybe one of you can do a play-by-play thing to feature the feature more.

The game is free, in case you weren't aware, TFF. You have to buy something or other from the in-game store, else have bought the game before it became free, to take advantage of certain features, but they're all centered around trading rather than the actual war aspect the game was originally designed around. No big loss if you're just gonna get together with friends on the 'net and have a match every now and again.

I would be part of this, but I'll be honest. I'm horrible at these sort of games.

Don't worry about that at all, this is supposed to be fun and if you're not good we'll help you get better (or at least I will). Also, once we get enough people going on this I'll try to get a gauge for how good everyone is and try to make the two teams appropriately based on skill level.

Well, I don't like to use Steam

I guess you're not joining us because you dislike Steam then? Just trying to keep a running tally here of who's joining.

I'm training hard for this. Beware the power of Spy-Mly.

Aw, you main as a spy too? Guess I'll just have to fall back on sniper. Unless you're on the opposing team (which may happen) in which case it doesn't matter I guess.

Snipers are pussies who need to zoom in and use a fancy scope to get a headshot from far away. Before I got rusty, I could do it with the spy's main weapon.

You could also say the same for the Spy, as you would need to rely on deception to kill your enemy.

A kill is a kill, how you achieve it is entirely up to your own skill.

>need to rely on deception to kill your enemy

Enforcer, spysicle, dead ringer. Battle spy. Dead ringer tanks the damage even if they know you feigned death with it, (They will if you're a properly murderous battle spy.) enforcer wrecks their shit, and spysicle makes pyros, the spy's natural arch nemesis, useless if you're even half-way decent, because it gives you plenty of time to get out of the fire before you even take any sort of damage and only takes 15 seconds to recharge.

Rape engies and their machines, take sniper shots to the head virtually unscathed due to the dead ringer and then backstab them, charge at heavies head on and jump around their back to backstab them, laugh in the face of pyros and even troll them into airblasting you where you want to go if you're really good, kill scouts like you're playing duck hunt, etc.

Hey, chill out man, if you're going to act like this no one's going to enjoy playing this game. Every class can be made into a warrior hero if you take enough time to describe them like that. And how you play a class is entirely up to preference. If I had wanted to play an in-your-face offence class I would of chosen Scout, Pyro, or even Heavy (although I'm awful as Heavy). I prefer the skill and technique required to play a Spy stealthily, even if I'm not great at it. It's just a difference in personality and how you like to play. You like the Enforcer for it's brute strength, I like the Ambassador for it's accuracy and ability to headshot. You like the Spycicle for it's impressive Pyro defense, I like to use the regular knife and just stab the Pyro. It's all how you want to play.

tl;dr Don't be a poor sport and call other's names just because their play style isn't an exact replica of yours, not everyone wants to be the same.
