Hey chaps, how are you getting this BETA? Is it if you've preordered the orange box?

Just had my student loan through and now it's weighing heavy in my pocket :D :p

Yeah you just have to pre-order it dude.

I'm stuck at work ARGH!

Then I have a driving lesson... then I have to build my new PC.

GRRRRRRRRr
 
What a bummer, looks like I'll have to wait for the official release, seems like I aint the only 2900 owner thats having random crashes in Vista 32 :\.

Has anyone tried this yet on a low end graphics card, ie.7300gt/7600 :P

Aye me too

Im on a 7300gt :) Gna play later
 
Well the graphics are awesome and the gameplay is fun although it is much more suited to casual play than TFC was. It will be interesting to see whether the clan scene takes off, as it does seem rather dumbed down for the average xbox360/cs nub. There wont be any conc guilds or insane skills type movies that I saw a lot of on TFC because there just isnt the same scope of movement here.

There are some really stupid things that NEED to be taken out immediately. Such as the respawn timer, it just seems like they have tried to mangle TFC goodness with ****** counterstrike rounds. There are no conc already so the game will be slow paced enough. Also, the kill cam is very frustrating if you are a sniper who has found a clever spot.. everyone will know automatically where you are!
Also, the fact that you can;t change your name within the game just seems like a stupid ignorant simplification because some people will obviously have different clans (or even names) for different mods... just totally pointless by valve.

However I'm willing to overlook the pitfalls because it is beta.. and I can see myself playing this a lot on casual servers but whether it becomes such a clan phenomena as TFC.. we'll have to wait and see.
 
I was looking to this for clan play and it's not sounding good.

Can't really be bothered with competetive CS anymore and haven't for a while, it's dieing off anyways.

I thought this was going to be refreshing.

Still looks fun though :D
 
name change is based on your steam ID profile, change that name, change your in game name, its tied to that as the game is for the sake of the TF2 stats tracker and acheivements

Woah Woah Woah!

Did someone just say NO GRENADES?!

Does that mean they have removed the 'art' of concing from the game?!?

I think they've took concing out from what I can tell. I didn't think they would since it became such a big part. You can still rocket jump though.

Was shocked when I read no nades at all though :(

You have got the be joking!

Thats absolutely unforgivable to remove concing from the medic / scout classes!

I've also read the medic can go invincible for 10 seconds...? I mean... did they actually research what made the original game good?

*Simply runs past the 2 HWs and SGs with his invincibility on*

I think I might cry.
 
I was going to get a TF2 server up for the community, but it turns out the linux binaries have been delayed.

Invincibilty has to be earned through healing. It's not unbalanced from what i've seen.

I think it was a great decision to get rid of grenades. Go play dustbowl on TFC or FF and you'll see what i mean. Concs on the other hand I think Valve sold out and got rid of them to facilitate the move onto consoles. Dissapointing.

From what I can tell by reading it seems to me like they've just tried to make it a lot easier for new comers basically.

I'll have to pass judgement when I get home later but it's certainly looking like valve has pulled a CS:S on us, but possibly worse ha-ha.
