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.

The only really sensible way for you to get it is the orange box, this will get you HL2, EP1, EP2, etc. I'm sure there will be lots of free copies of HL2 and EP1 floating around in about a month but then you'll have to buy TF2 on it's own when it's officially released, and you won't get portal or EP2. The orange box is great value and TF2 is a really fun polished game, well worth the Box price alone (can say that for sure now I've played it). Plus get the box set and you can play it right now.

TF2 gameplay is like the Doc said, you've got to work as a team a team full of medics would probably not die very often, but you'd never kill anything, and a team full of Heavy Weapons guys will be out run at every opportunity. Pair up a medic and HW-guy and you'll have a tank, virtually bullet proof with a powerful weapon. Add an engineer to re-arm him if he runs out of ammo and there's no stopping you....but this combo is slow, so can be out run by a scout with ease.
As a scout though you're weak and only deadly at close range. So maybe the spy is better, creap up behind someone while disgusied as their team and stab them in the back (backstab is 1 hit kill), and while disguised you can walk past the enemy turrets, and even sabotage them.
So many different options...so many hours of fun.

You might be able to find the files on a torrent site if you're lucky. And then just copy them into your steam account. Other than that I don't know.

[Doorman]

Fine now. Fun enough. Need more folks!

With Steam games you can copy the folder accross a network easily enough and it plays. (My brothers Steam files for CS:S work when I copy them into my steam folder - very useful after a format/corruption) As long as you own the game it will work. That is providing any files you find on a torrent site are the uptodate unadulterated steam files.


Also people need to use this new server more, we need 6 people on to have a good game. It's fun. (maybe an easing of password to get people into the server at first could help as I'm not sure how many people can play TF2 yet)

Got it, d/l it and tried it on my tod.

Looks like a game where you need a pretty full server but fun ntl.
