I think they played earlier versions of both arctic and flake in the New Map Weekends. If my memory serves me well, arctic(or whatever it was called at the time) was really fun.

Looking at the screenshots I fear those crates would be too much of an advantage to whoever owns the point, but who knows until it gets played in a scrim and not a pug.

I used to have a pair of HD202s and they were amazing for the price. They can be kinda tight on your head, but if you have that issue just put them over two or three books or something to stretch them overnight.

Having the codec set to ultrafast will make whatever bitrate you're using look much worse than it should.

Is it bad that I squeal like a little girl when I see a new phoon video popup on my youtube homepage?

If you get more height, wouldn't you inherently get more distance as well?

I just had a blast playing with some familiar names as well as a few not so familiar. It seemed like everyone was having fun, and I even got to teach some guy how to rocket jump. He said it was his first game of TF2 and seemed to be having a great time. That's an A+ in my book.

This. There's no reason for any limits on weapons, and the only class limits would be a limit of 2 per class. From there, people who have no idea what 6v6 is will need to experiment with the classes they can play and figure out what works best.

literally the best

One time I was playing Badwater and as soldier with gunboats. I jumped backwards(with like 185 hp left after the jump) right as an engineer shot one volly of pomson 6000 lasers at me. Each of the 3 or so balls hit me in the air 3 times in a row and I died mid air. I was really mad. :(

I just did a quick google search to make sure the payroll tax cap was what I thought it was. I thought I knew it but then I said to myself, there's no way people could be that stupid! Sure enough, for every dollar of income over $106,800 you don't pay any social security tax. Who the hell thought that would be a good idea???

Try extracting a fresh copy of TF2 from your GCFs. Backup your cfg, scripts, resource, and maps folders as well as your demos, then delete your "team fortress 2" folder. As far as I know, you won't have to redownload the game because you already have the GCFs, and it'll just extract a fresh copy. If you still have the fps drops, try -autoconfig in your launch options. And if it STILL persists, you might want to start looking into any issues outside TF2.

good guy hooli

Game goes live at 13:30, also make sure you hit "Best quality" so it's streamed at like 45 fps or whatever it is(it looks great).

When everyone complained about standin, the more cap points you owned the longer your respawn time was. That mechanic has been reversed so now if you own 2/3 points you spawn faster than the team with 1/3 points. Unfortunately the time it takes to revert cap points is hard coded into the game and can't be changed unless Valve adds some sort of function for that.
