Team Fortress 2 - Pyromania and Meet the Pyro Update

AbsenceJam said:
I want to play some TF2 again but it has been a couple of years and I am totally lost with all the new weapons and items that there seem to be now. I don't really want to have to spend a week reading a wiki and then more weeks trying to collect or craft things just to be to speed.

Ditto. I used to love TF2, left gaming for a few years only to come back and find that it detracted from the initial 'join a server and kill to your hearts content. '

Would you like to get together and work your way up?
 
My god so many extra goodies!

I was just expecting just a couple of Pybro weapons and a new map; what a treat!

I hope, I really hope the bring out a misc item which lets the Pyro prance around like in the video :D
 
Love the new Pyro video. Had me in sticthes with the Pyro being shown as an innocent thinking, killing machine! :D

Also glad that the Pyro class finally has a video as when I do occasionally play TF2, Pyro is often my choice of class.
 
TF2 has gone past its prime now, and IMHO is stale and 'forced'; it's never been the same after the Scout update (Sandman took ages to resolve) and does show that Valve are quite good at making **** ups from time to time.

I did think that the Meet the Pyro was OK though, but not on the level of Meet the Spy.
 
Im getting some annoying chopiness in game recently in TF2... which seems to coincide with choke, never used to get this before. FPS is nice and high.

Checked my rate etc, seems set at 90000 regardless of which server I go to, which seems high to me? However, I can't seem to change it, and I also can't find a local file that actually states the rate... is it now server set?

You haven't enabled multicore rendering by any chance as that can cause chopiness.

go to steamapps/mcbain/team fortress 2/tf/cfg and make an autoexec.cfg (you can just copy and paste one of the other configs, rename it to autoexec and delete the contents)

Then paste this:

cl_cmdrate 66
cl_interp 0
cl_interp_ratio 1
cl_lagcompensation 1
cl_pred_optimize 2
cl_smooth 0
cl_smoothtime 0.01
cl_updaterate 66
rate 60000
fps_max 132

These are the settings recommended by Chris, who is an expert when it comes to TF2 configs. You can check out his entire configs here: http://fakkelbrigade.eu/chris/configs/

I personally use dx9 frames and it makes the game run 100x smoother than default, even though I have a very good computer and don't actually need higher fps. If you want the game to look prettier and run smoother, you can use his highquality config.
 
Funny vid, shame the game has pretty much been swamped in utter cr*p since the original 'Meet The' days. Back then they were funny compliments to a game that had amazing substance and a very promising future. Nowadays they reflect the game's only appeal quite well: amusing gimmicks, over-stylised rubbish, no substance.

Running around in a cloud-fantasy land, indeed. That's often how I feel with all the bogus and extraneous stuff that's spamming up the game nowadays. Bring back Beta-Season3 days please :( The game actually had a glimmer of TFC's brilliance then, dare I say.
