Given that there 3,000,000,000 other people all downloading at this very moment, it's not surprising it's a bit slow. (10.1KB/s here)

I'll stick the meathook password on the server once it is up.

T-Bag · September 17, 2007, 05:59:23 PM

Is the TF2 server going to be Meathook, Baldric or new one, and if it's new is the IP going in the Sever details thing? (also looks like release is going to be about 2am our time)

The Valve team said late evening (they're 8 hours behind GMT) so probably going to be a while, but it's now so close I can taste it.

P.S: To try and get rid of any issues with my steam games, like lag and longer than I'd like loading times I defragged all my files using GCFscape and it says it's going to be 30 mins before I can play CS:S again, because it's "updating" even though all the files are there. How will I pass the time now?

Gentlemen I give you

-=[dMw]=- Razer

the dMw TF2 Beta Server.

You can reach it at cs.deadmen.co.uk:27016

Password as per meathook.

RCON password as per Meathook.

The config is pretty basic as there is as yet no documentation for the server but it's running and it's ours!

I'm slow and stupid.
What is this TF2 malarky and do I need to order HL2 etc (don't have HL2).
I see it's available via the Orange Box so is that my best option?

Call me Thulsa Dumb.

TF2 is Team Fortress 2. Originally a mod for Quake back in 1996. The idea is that you have classes/characters with unique skills. They are experts of this skill but completely worthless when it comes to everything else. So if you are a medic you can heal people better than God. But if you fire a gun you will most certainly kill yourself, your teammates, and yes maybe even God with one bullet. However, the enemies would be ok. So the game is based upon these characters and together you try to win over the other team.

If you want it you should buy the orange box and you will get the other games as well. Have a look at the trailer for Portal that is also included and you will find that interesting too.
