| Team Fortress 2: Meet the Scout - he hurts people |
April 21, 2008, 4:19 am
Here's the latest in the "Meet the Team" video series for Team Fortress 2 (PS3, Xbox 360, PC). This video features the Scout, a very useful ally to have on the field. In his own words: "Grass grows, birds fly, sun shines, and brother, I hurt people."
You probably know all of them by heart by now, but let this serve as a formal introduction to Scout. Word of warning, don't get caught eating a sandwich on the field when you face him. You can check back our previous articles for the "Meet the Team" videos for the other classes, like the Soldier and the Engineer.
We've already met five members of the team. Hopefully, the other four will be coming soon. For now, it's time to meet the Scout:

| Microsoft and Sony determine Team Fortress 2 DLC pricing |
March 16, 2008, 10:10 am
Well, we can be sure that new maps will be coming to Team Fortress 2 for the PS3 and Xbox 360. Valve even wants the said downloadable content to be free, but admitted that such might not be the case. The reason for this was recently uncovered over at Kotaku, and it's quite surprising to know that Valve doesn't have power over the pricing of their DLC.
Kotaku contacted Valve for clarification regarding this matter, and Doug Lombardi, Valve's VP of Marketing said, "The platform holder owns the final call." As Kotaku put it succinctly, "whether or not we see these maps for free is indeed up to Sony and Microsoft."
Personally, we're left wondering what kinds of DLC may have, in the past, been released for free, were it not for the policies of Sony and Microsoft. While we can't change the past, perhaps this knowledge might make it possible for gamers to properly ask for better prices on downloadable content.

| Forum Registration |
March 13, 2008, 1:46 am
Due to the overwhelming amount of spam being generated on this site, I have temporarily shutdown new forum registration.
Downloads are now public & do not require a username. However if you wish to submit files, you will need to create an account if you don't already have one - if you would like to do this please contact an admin and we will set one up for you.
We hope to get an anti-spam system implemented so we can get our forums back in use, and of course, govern our downloads & limit them to registered users once again :P
Hopefully enabling public downloads will drive some traffic to the site.
Cheers.

| Team Fortress 2 Xbox 360 version patched |
March 5, 2008, 9:37 pm
Valve has recently sent out a patch for the Xbox 360 version of Team Fortress 2 (also on PC, PS3). There were no big class changes apart from a couple of tweaks to Medics and Engineers.
Spies also no longer drop their disguises when attacking. Player reports also say that the dispenser has also been nerfed, so players can no longer stay underwater for indefinite periods of time.
Here's a list of the updates included in the patch, quoted verbatim from a Valve post on the Steam Users Forums:- Fixed a medic invuln exploit.
- Fixed grenades going through players or buildings.
- Fixed exploit with rockets causing damage through thin walls.
- Fixed exploit allowing snipers to fire faster than intended.
- Fixed exploit allowing players to teleport with the intelligence.
- Fixed exploit attaching sappers to buildings through walls.
- Fixed spy backstab exploit.
- Fixed spy being able to attack without dropping his disguise.
- Medics no longer heal enemy spies when they're not disguised.
- Tweaked autobalance calculations.
- When an engineer dies in sudden death, his buildings explode.
- Fixed stats sometimes not reporting correctly.
- Added a dialog to indicate when the host shuts down the server.
- Added rumble to TF weapons.
- Fixed ping column sometimes getting hidden in some resolutions.
- Added 10 and 14 player game sizes.
- Prevent hosts selecting game sizes above their bandwidth limits.
- Improved handling of large network packets to eliminate bandwidth spikes.
- Reduced respawn times for smaller games.

- 'on fire' hud HUD redness reduced a lot
- Cvars for turning off targets + gren trails (also in options menu)Teamcolour hud can now go back to normal again

| News: Fortress Forever 2.0 - Server available! |
February 15, 2008, 11:47 pm
EDIT: Here's the server install files:
Current list of mirrors: (will update)-----------------
Copy the files straight on top of any 1.11 install you have. Please put 2.0 in your server title so people know which server to join!
------------------
We're finally finished with the 2.0 patch!
Currently we're distributing the server package to all the mirrors we can find - if you can mirror, let us know! The server update package is only 115 MB.
Currently we are only hosting the server update package from 1.11 -> 2.0 patch. (we are not hosting the full 600 meg 2.0 server install right now)
This is because
a) 99% of people interested in running an FF server already have 1.11 running
b) If you don't have 1.11 running, you can download 1.11 full whilst you wait for us to get patch mirrors up, which gives you a headstart.
c) It gives the current server owners a little nod. (thanks for sticking with us!)
When the client installs are up, we will be hosting a 2.0 full patch (600+ meg), 1.11 -> 2.0 update patch (90 meg) and 1.0 -> 2.0 update patch (160 meg).
This means, if you don't have 1.11 installed and you want to give 2.0 a go, save some time by downloading 1.11 now!
