i played the tutorial

i played the training mission on dustbowl and said fuck soldier as a class because aiming rockets with a controller felt like aids

i pwned on a trackpad and called the game gay

The first time I played TF2 it was on PS3 and I was already a big fan of OMFGNinja so I kept trying to trickstab people on dustbowl
Backstabs had a 1 second animation and joysticks weren't rly making it easier either

i joined a server with auto download and it was a ctf map on the rooftop finale of no mercy from l4d

headshotting a spy upstairs of red spawn on goldrush stage 1
followed by months of maining pyro dodgeball and degrotkeep spy
pure regret

i joined a empty 2 fort server with my friend and both did 1 v 1 as engies
were we both stayed inside the intel room turtiling our sentrys

My friend told me into this game and we were both pyros on upward pushing poeple down the cliff

I joined a nighteam pipeline server with a donor building multiple level 3s in pregame and thought it was how engineer worked

dm_store server and i ended up spending like 600 hours there

i got the xbox version back in 2008

i remember picking pyro on 2fort and aimlessly dicking around but thats as detailed as it gets for me

i know i played 2fort like 50 times before trying anything else though

Sat in the basement on 2fort as engie and guarded the intel for 200 hours.

i was owning everyone except this 1 guy, he kept owning me, then i realized he was the only one who wasnt a bot LUL

Sat on a Level 3 pushing into Dustbowl 3rd stage last for 200 hours.

That's how we met Adam

Thanks for your honesty

I played on some shitty PL map in a Valve server, tried soldier and thought "wow this game is bad I don't understand anything"

had an xbox 360, friend came over and brought the orange box over and instantly nutted when i played 2fort

played on my cousin's dell computer that could barely run tf2 at 10 fps on n64 graphics, shot some rockets at bots and got hooked

after completing Half-Life 2 and Portal i noticed that there was a third game in the orange box....my life is over since than

It was a 2fort GamingMasters server. There were 2 really friendly German guys and no one else on the server. Now the server is dead and I can't find them

my friend brandislives on xbox (i played a lot of games with him, may he RIP), told me to download steam and get tf2. without him, i probably would be playing COD still. Miss you brandis :'(

very first time i launched the game was back when i had a laptop that was so bad it couldnt run the game. i got like literally 2 frames per second and the graphics were so fucked up it looked like some alien shit. closed the game after a couple minutes and thought i was never gonna play again

Christmas Eve 2007

Got fucked up drinking vodka and lime crush in this very room with real life friends of mine until like 5 in the morning. We played online doing like.. this one boxing ring map.. de_duel or whatever it was called.. whatever maps existed at that time. Had the time of my life.

Never looked back

first time I played tf2 was on a laptop with no mouse and keyboard, and I had like 30 fps all the time.

RIP

it was the halloween where they had the halloween version of viaduct. i only played sniper because i liked his voice lines and it took me 1-2 hours to get 3 kills, all of which were body shots.

first day of halloween update 2012 for 1 daypc broke then came back in 2013

I tried to play the game back in 2012 and joined a dustbowl training server but my computer was so bad I couldn't even get 10 fps on the lowest settings so I didn't bother at all, fast forward to like 2014 where I have a decent enough computer to get 40 fps on average and I spent it on rd_asteroid getting my ass kicked and drowning in the water.

I think the very first time I launched it I went to a dustbowl server and played with the heavy, he was my favourite class back in my first 40 hours of gameplay
