TF2 beta: new menu - Games - Facepunch Forum

[QUOTE=Rye It;30531632]Can we still select by server?[/QUOTE] Yeah it still has the browse server option

I think the select server button should be first, just my OCD going off though.

Just found a Medic's Mountain Cap... in the beta. :smithicide:

[QUOTE=Zedicus Mann;30531767]Doesn't that transfer over to normal TF2? [editline]17th June 2011[/editline] What exactly does the Start Playing button even do anyway?[/QUOTE] Takes you to a screen where you can pick from the gametypes.

[QUOTE=Zedicus Mann;30531767] What exactly does the Start Playing button even do anyway?[/QUOTE] A screen pops up and you choose a gamemode (or just select an option for any gamemode) and it connects you to the best available server.

[QUOTE=install gentoo;30525351]Eh I still like the pre-mac menus better.[/QUOTE] The pre-mac menu was just the regular source engine menu, imagine that menu but with all the stuff that's on the current menu. Start Playing Browse Servers Training Items Shop Replays Options Achievements Developer Commentary New User Forums Be A Coach Bug Report Quit It would look really bad, but then again I always thought the regular source engine menu looked bad, just white text in front of a background image. It looks much better now especially with all the art, I'm glad they removed that huge top bar, it made the menu look squeezed.

Is it just me or is there no way to view achievements with this new menu?

[QUOTE=CharlesMan;30533299]Is it just me or is there no way to view achievements with this new menu?[/QUOTE] There's a button on the bottom, along with the other options.

I was going to ask "Am I the only one who is experiencing problems with Team Spirit?" But then I noticed Ian's screen to the left. Yeah, if something is painted Team Spirit, it shows as red for both teams. [quote][img]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/558659834223909425/76D1074C32066C1E453AC4055089CCD959AB6BD2/[/img][/quote]

Enjoy your red slate while it lasts.

[QUOTE=Populus89;30525278]No thanks for hosting and providing the picture? Aw. Anyway: [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7534716/newtf2menutrain.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] Why not get rid of "Get Started" And just make the two pictures above them buttons?

Was I the only one who would be happier to have this menu and more in this style in the future rather than loads of weapons? I really dig this, it fits tf2 so well and makes it a really, really, reaaaally nice looking menu, hell I wonder what would happen to the HUD if they would rework on it, like an optional alternate, new-style HUD

I like the new menu, but I always wished for them to change the Class Select screen so it actually showed our loadout. So if I have a Spiral Sallet on my Soldier it'll show that, or if I have a Backburner equipped to my Pyro it'll show him holding that weapon.

The only Beta server with people on is a rocket-jump map :U At least some of the levels were feasible using the Detonator, so that's that.

[QUOTE=johnlmonkey;30530700]What did they change about soldier training?[/QUOTE] They added a brief part where they explain how W,A,S,D, Crouch and Jump work. You don't start anymore in the training boot but in a room overlooking the training area. Then you are instructed how to get there.

[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;30531764]They should let you transfer the stuff you find in the beta to the regular version[/QUOTE] only $0,49 per item! :v:

[QUOTE=Max of S2D;30536114]only $0,49 per item! :v:[/QUOTE] To be honest, I would use that for specific items.

Wow. That is just wow. I really really dig TF2s artstyle in the comics etc. but this is just over the top beautiful. Makani's art just fits so incredibly perfect for it. Hopefully they add this along with the "big" update soon :allears:

Haha, I didn't even notice the mini sentry on the Attack/Defend image until just now. All four sentries are on that point, which I feel is probably the best representation of TF2 you can give. Also I just got the Spiral Sallet on the Beta.

[QUOTE=McNab;30532144]and BAM max heads are virtually worthless.[/QUOTE] I've never seen any max heads in the beta. Though, if they are in the beta, how do people get them? I personally don't want one, but i'm curious as to how they got them.
