    only 5 achievements left to... achieve... I have a feeling I'll never get this one:

    "Set five enemies on fire in 30 seconds"

    gosh, the pyro is useless. his flamer is possibly less powerful than every class' default melee weapon. it might as well just shoot daisies. he's good vs. demomen and that's about it.

    I dunno man, I find the pyro pretty strong if played right. (also the fire achievement is pretty cake to get, just hurl yourself at a mob and buuuuurn).

    That's an easy one to get. Do defense on Dustbowl and when everyone comes charging out let loose <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

    What I think will be very hard to get are the two defense achievements. Dustbowl and Gravel Pit without letting the enemy cap.

    ON paper it should run it fine, but when it's not doing that annoying soundloop bug, it's either crashing my entire computer (nothing works, at all) on map change / joining server.

    The 5 minutes I got on were fun, though. I love the running animations.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
    Try disabling the ingame steam community thing (last tab in steam settings, uncheck the use ingame checkbox). I also had weird crashing, but only after that crap was introduced. I disabled it and TF ran fine (until my computed exploded XD)

    I was having constant sound loop crashes also but I think I have it licked after last night. Here's what I tried:

    1. Running in windowed mode. I had to restart Steam after setting it because it wouldn't display right away. It looked fine after the reboot.
    2. Turn off HDR in the video options.
    3. Set reflections to simple in video options.

    That's it. I was able to play for almost 2 hours last night without interruption. Before that I couldn't go more than a minute without crashing.

    good call... I'll have to try that =p and yeah, guarding multiple points for the full time limit is quite hard...

    I almost got them both! I've finished Well and Granary in under 2 minutes each, too.

    Scouts capture twice as fast, btw.

    Also, Them: Is there a reason on Well that the final capture point captures in about 3 or 4 seconds? The layout of the map around that point makes it particularly hard to kill someone going up the stairs with anything but direct shots, and the height of the platform is enough that you can't shoot them from below very well- basically, if they make it to the stairs, they've won already. As someone whose won simply by forward-capping as many times as I have, I can't help but feel it *needs* to be a longer cap time, for fun's sake.

    I tend not to always shoot the doctor, depending how weak the doctors healing target is, as doctors tend to be pretty far behind. I usually don't fall victim to spies as doc, the medigun can be spun 180 degrees and still have a lock on its target so walking backwards isn't uncommon for me.

    wow, PA never uploads the comic this early in the day =p

    when it comes to early capping, scouts are almost overpowered. our team decided to go scout rush on hydro last night. we had about 5 scouts. we had instacapped about 10 points before the enemy caught on and started plunking down some sentries - the scout's natural predator.

    Heh, I got the flame thrower one by doing that (You know that little house on the right hand side? Hide behind that, wait hald a second, then charge out flaming!

    I also got one of the defence ones, but that was day one when people had no clue wth they were doing <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

    I have tried to organize just that, but no one ever wants to listen, is kinda sad ;(


    Oh, I still have yet to run into ANYONE who seems to have the same sense for Spies that I do, and I am not sure why. I will watch a spy rush past our offense when invis (you sorta show up when you touch enemies), and every one ignores them. I promptly go spy hunting, find the soldier/engie/whatever that is obviously NOT acting right and bone saw him down (I love the fact that most spies will not bother fighting back when you start bonesawing em <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />).

    Admittedly, I still suck as spy and almost always die instantly b/c no one trusts me. Maybe I just keep on ending up with dumb teammates. (though having ALL of the enemy spies DOMINATED just makes me happy).

    Stand on the cap to block. In our internal playtests (people that have been playing for months and months) the cap time is fine. If someone gets to this cap, a cap that's right outside your spawn with a window showing you anybody standing on it, and your cap 2 is already owned by the enemy team. That means your defense is already woefully inadequate.

    it looks like there's bots in the game, but they don't have any AI... best you can do is make them mimic you move for move.

    I also found out that you can exploit them to get achievements playing in a game with no one but you and bots that don't do anything =p I shall report this as a bug.

    Alright, well after playing for about 5 hours I've decided the Sniper's damn useless if your ping's just a tiny bit high. You're not going to hit ######.

    The Engineer's fun, in the original weren't you able to build at least 2 Sentries?

    Who wants to add me on Steam and play a match so I can get that damn "With Friends Like These..." Achievement?
  • SvenpaSvenpa Wait, what? Join Date: 2004-01-03 Member: 25012Members, Constellation
    They should have more hardcore achievements like that, "Get 3 headshots with a ping over 200!".

    Anyone know if there will be more achievements when it's fully released?
  • LikuLiku I, am the Somberlain. Join Date: 2003-01-10 Member: 12128Members
    I'm guessing the rest of the Achievements will be with Portal and Ep2. Because Microsoft only allows 50 Achievements and 1000 Points a game. So I don't think TF2 will have anything else.
  • AldarisAldaris Join Date: 2002-03-25 Member: 351Members, Constellation
    Liku is right. We need to organise a NS session for that achievement <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />
  • LikuLiku I, am the Somberlain. Join Date: 2003-01-10 Member: 12128Members
    We could essentially get 20-30 people that wretched Achievement in a single round, I'm up for it.
