Spies, scouts, demomen. Anyone how hits me in the face was an instakill. No crits, just a normal hit. Also, these noobs were crazy good. He rocket hopped across the map, wall jumped. I was scout, and he tried to rocket fling himself towards me, so I double jump away. Right before he hits the ground, he turns towards me and rocket jumps. Hits me mid air with his shovel which crits.
DAMN YOU SKILLFUL NOOBS

Thats an Oxymoron, maybe if your having problems with dying you should improve on the classes you keep getting killed as.

Hopy shit, Tomislav is legendary.  I also got gloves of running urgently, they're giving items out like candy.

[The Scout]

I'm complaining about the fact new people can do that perfectly with standard gear, while not even pros can. And the fact they're all kicking my ass, while I can whoop most Bay12's ass most of the time.
And I haven't got a single drop. Not one.

Well, now that I don't have to deal with the issue of online payment for this, it looks like I'm finally in the PC version of TF2. Thank Xenu, the 360 version is like some tiny unescapeable hell compared to this. It even runs fairly well on my horrible computer.

Very cool of Valve to make it free after all of these years, and also very financially devious. Just what I've come to expect from them.

As for the forming controversy over TF2 becoming free: You can complain all you want, but at the end of the day Gabe Newell will still be swimming around in his ocean of 100$ bills.

[Deon]

I wonder why can't I equip items I've got from training. Is it because I've got a free account?

The medic is awesome.

THIS IS NOT UP FOR DEBATE.

Sounds like a problem between the chair and monitor.  I'm not having any issues with superpowered free players.

[Max White]

You Scouts are gonna love this highly collectible bat that smacks baseballs at the other team, stunning the living crap outta anybody dumb, slow, drunk, mute or Australian enough to get in the way

Heh, awesome. Best line ever!

... you do realise

a) a lot of pros do use standard gear
b) flying through the air and shovelling you on the way down after doing multiple successful rocket jumps is a pretty good indication he ISN'T a noob
c) if you get owned by "noobs", you are a noob (note lack of quotation marks).

[The Scout]

He has like, 1 hour of TF2. That's alot of practice in not alot of time. Anyway, I can't change guns, get weapons, craft, until the crafting servers are back up.

[Sensei]

I haven't played in quite a while, I'm trying to decide if this is the best or worst time to get back in...

Do you realize that rocket jumps were back in Quake and Quake 2? Also, while it's different, skills from the old HL2 deathmatch still work here.

I have nothing to say about instakills though. Haven't seen any yet.

Well, I wouldn't recommend it tonight, as the update-rush means all the servers are full, people are dicking around with the new weapons, loadouts are flickering on and off, and crafting and trades aren't working most of the time.

Besides that, people seem to be making this out to be more than it is. There have always been skilled and unskilled players. Free availability shouldn't be a huge paradigm shift in the long term, in the short term it will only result in more beginner level players.

I don't know what the hell The Scout is talking about. Sounds like he's having a bad night and is blaming Free TF2.

[RF]

Now that's it free, you all have NO EXCUSE not to download Pirates, Vikings and Knights 2. Ask on the DFC what it was like when were all on it for a night. It's fun as hell.

The item servers have gone down in the rush of new / returning players.  No one can change out any of their items.
