Once I played tf2 for 9 hours with out eating :ohdear:
I've had my TF2 for quite some time. I'm glad to see that there are plenty of old players still playing. I brove you all.
Chainsaw_bunny got me into it. I said: "Meh, I don't like shooting games. They're all the same."
But boy, when he showed me TF2, I found out there was an exception. I really loved the cartoony-graphics and silly characters/dialogue.
Played it almost everyday since.
I remember the first time I played TF2 pretty well. At first, I thought TF2 was some kind of multiplayer TPS, where you had to go into mazes and kill other people you'd find (I didn't watch any videos or what). But I bought the Orange Box just for Portal. I was pretty bored and I needed a new game, so I said: Why not ?
Then, finished Half Life 2 and Portal, I installed TF2, without knowing what it was about.
I was so surprised to find a good FPS with a lot of players, I think I played 2 months every day without stopping one day, I always played scout too, and just had lots of fun, more than CSS and every other multiplayer I played before.
I started 1 year and half ago, I'm still playing almost every day now. :D
Have you noticed how when you think about halo 3 you think oh that game was released yesterday but when you think of TF2 you're like whoa, that game is OLD

Because Halo 3 is nigh-identical to how it was when it was released, save for a few new maps. TF2 is (for better or worse) almost a whole different game. I remember when Pyros couldn't airblast. I remember when crits occured more often. I remember when the TF2 blog first came up. I remember our first taste of the medic update, and the 3 months of waiting that followed. TF2 is always changing, growing. Halo 3 is preserved in a state near the day it was made.
I remember when the sandman was actually useful
[QUOTE=brandonsh;26675843]Good thread. People don't appreciate that Valve still PUT OUT FREE UPDATES FOR A 3 YEAR OLD GAME.
Instead it's all "WAH WAH OPTIONAL MICROTRANSACTIONS AND PARTICLE EFFECTS". Stop whining.[/QUOTE]
I believe why people are whining is because some updates do not bring much good. Since everyone here actually bought the game, and payed for it, when Valve adds updates that does not improve the game but make it worse, or more painful to play, people get angry. Nowadays I constantly get angry whenever Valve adds a new hat, isn't it enough already? These hats only lessen how much I want to play the game, and since I payed for it...
The way trading has affected the game is not good at all, in my own opinion. The way the chat box is used for spamming trading opportunities instead of helping the team win is annoying. You can't say you like seeing your "Spy as Pyro"overlapped by "tradin kf set 4 4 refined" "tradin kf set 4 4 refined" "trading chieftains challenge, bills hat, buds, keys" "tradin kf set 4 4 refined".
This kinda ruins the feeling I get when playing the game, but I still do play it. Every day, maybe in hopes of everything getting better, and when I've seen it hasn't I go play with bots.
So I'm alright with free updates, I [I]praise[/I] Valve for it, they're the best. But if these updates bring nothing good, then I won't either; I'll just bring more whining.
I remember playing it for the first few months. Being Spy at the time was the best fun I ever had in a video game. Now everyone knows they might get backstabbed so it's bit harder.

not everyone has a good enough computer to handle a bunch of them at once, it's a legitimate complaint :ssh:
Pretty sure you can remove them with custom autoexec.cfgs, and if your computer can't handle TF2 at low settings you shouldn't be playing on it. :v:

[QUOTE=Luafox;26709881]When I bought the orange box, one week after release, I got my steam account, and it introduced me to playing games online. It was amazing, all of the games, but TF2 was something special, it made me very happy.
My brother got TF2 sometime in spring 2008 I think, and we've been playing it together almost every day since then. :v:[/QUOTE]
Wish I had a brother that liked games.
I have two brothers, but all they care of is sports and clothes :frown:
I had TF2 for ages. Unfortunately 2 months later we moved and for some reason I couldn't play online games.
We lived there for a year.
When we moved I wasn't interested in TF2. But one day I started it up.
And then I got addicted :saddowns:
Had TF2 since pre-order games. I remember when the spies revolver killed people all alone.
