Team Fortress 2

Not going to start spamming the thread with questions, don't worry. Just wondering (not that it matters, just wondering) if you rank up in this game? Also, you download it onto your PC from steam right? Ta

No, you don't rank up.
You get different milestones which unlock newer weapons for each of the classes. That's really the only thing remotely close to that.
Yes. You get steam and the games are on your account. You can then download them via Steam. You have to be signed into Steam to play of course.

Ah, now I understand what Steam is, thanks. If I get it, can I add people and like "Join Game" like in CoD?

got the bloke's bucket yesterday.

due to this, I'm gonna learn to be a better sniper. until I get a different/new hat.

it's the only sniper hat I wanted... but I don't play sniper, unless it's just to mess around. want dat brain slug.

also, OM*G ENGINEER COMIC

so... two blog posts since the "big update" deal, I'm guessing/hoping engie update will come after all the statistical/mechanic/engine updates? and after/before/during engie update, possible pc vs. mac war, do want? D:

I played pretty well as a sniper recently, got myself up through the milestones and earned the Jarate which I wanted.
Still yet to find a hat. Slowly making my way to crafting one.

Well, I officially hate Valve. I'm tired of them teasing us, just release the damn update already.

 

[Sporge27]

But teasing is what they do best! Do you know the ridiculous lengths they put people through to find secrets hidden in things? They added extra radios in Portal that get signals in certain areas... to know what they actually say you need to know Morse code, and open some as a specific type of image, with the image ones there were even deeper clues to decrypt....

Apparently some people found the golden wrench embedded in the last update... though it isn't working on normal servers yet...

saw part of blueprint for sentry lvl 4 on the new comic

 

[Sporge27]

yeah the first time download takes a while, you need the entire source engine and stuff for it... basically all the structure behind Half life 2...

Dont see why the engineer need a update, i always thought the LVL 3 Dispenser and Teleporter was his update

things we know!

100 pounds of australium, possibly 100 wrenches?
an email from robin probably confirmed the wrenches will be in limited supply (oh no!)
there was a 3rd "eternal life machine" built, but for who, we don't know yet.

anyone have anything to add?

I did not notice the third machine thing.... wow

Crafting question: i have a primary token and melee token but what are they for

Saw this earlier, and what I'm thinking is a grenade launcher. Or some kind of explosive launcher. Just the way the large barrels are. Not sure wht the smaller rings above my circle is.

@KI, tokens are used for crafting. Here's a video to explain. It's a little old, so it's 3 weapons, not 4 to craft the token.

The 3rd machine was built for the announcer I bet. She was Zepheniah Mann's housemaid after all.

I didn't, I asked if there was an option LIKE in CoD, not comparing it to CoD ><
Learn to understand what people have said fully before jumping to conclusions.

Hahaha. Don't flatter yourself.

If you can't understand what I said, you need to learn to read properly.

Anyway, I'm not going to argue with you anymore. Arguing with you is like arguing with a brick wall.

Only 4 hours of download left. If I'm lucky I might get on tonight for a bit, but I doubt it.

Okay, I know this isn't the correct topic but not being able to play TF2 on a PC for over a year is starting to grind my gears. Basically, I need someone with computing expertise to help me with a decision. I am now seriously looking into buying a new PC or possibly building my own one. The amount of games I want to play that I can't is overwhelming.

TF2
Tropico 3
Anno 1404
L4D1+2
Age of Empires 3
and more...

Only comment if you seriously know what I'm talking about and can actually help me, please.

About that unknown blueprint, someone confirmed on Valve's forums that it's just the upgrade state from a level 1 (I think) to a level 2 Sentry.
