Re: Team Fortress 2 - Free to Play ?

It's really sad man. I would have loved to play with you guys. Hey. Say what?

I can host a server if 10-12 of us can decide on a date and time? What say?
 
Re: Team Fortress 2 - Free to Play ?

^As speculated, TF2 is Free to play from today!!

Enjoy guys! i.e. after you download another 1GB update :(
 
Re: Team Fortress 2 - Free to Play ?

Yay !! Now if only we had good servers...

Now when will the summer sales begin??
 
Re: Team Fortress 2 - Free to Play ?

^^as I said, we do. Just that BSNL users won't be getting them.

Valve: Team Fortress 2 is free forever | Game Development | News by Develop

So that's how the 3 DAY UBER UODATE ended. And guys, don't complain about the 1GB update, which is a 500MB update, and the fact that after the Steam update shows 500MB, I've in reality downloaded only 200MB.

It has some 4 FULL WEAPON PACKS, Plus a new pl_Barnblitz, gonna be amazing!

:sigh: One advantage of Airtel connection, starhub is under 100 ms away!

I am using Tata Indicom Wimax, all Satrhubs are >300. Maybe I should shift to Airtel. Then again there's the f'uped FUP.

OT: Here's the Free to play FAQ. Players who bought it will have a premium account.

Team Fortress 2: Free-to-Play FAQ

Unless you download over 20GB a month(games pirate arr arr!) airtel's plans are more than enough.

I mean my FUP is 10GB then 512kbps till oblivion. ANd over the past 6 months I think I have rarely downloaded in excess of 15-18GB a month(highest that is).

EDIT:

OMG have a look at this

Re: Team Fortress 2 - Free to Play ?

Damn, will need to download the uber update tonight!
Also need to check out the "Meet The Medic" video!
More TF2 players means more people to trade with, yay!
 
Re: Team Fortress 2 - Free to Play ?

Finally time to start playing this game. :ashamed:

I just keep pushing away buying the Orange Box. :(
 
Re: Team Fortress 2 - Free to Play ?

Free players have lmited trading.

You become premium member by either buying the game or buying any Mann-Co item.

@ viralbug, do give your steam acc, and I've listed the servers on the previous page.

Today every server was full, not surprised.
 
Re: Team Fortress 2 - Free to Play ?

Whoa! I thought TF2 would be small in size. Steam download is 9.8GB! Keeping it whole day for download.

I'm gonna buy the game soon though anyways with Orange Box. But just trying it out now since it's F2P. :D

its because all source common files have to be downloaded. If you had HL2 or something installed, download would have been halved.

After downloading TF2, downloading CS:S is under 1GB :D
 
Re: Team Fortress 2 - Free to Play ?

I am wary of this F2P model, only time will tell how it pans out.
But the real star of the show is Meet the Medic. Worth every second spent waiting for it :D.

I want Mega Baboon hat now. Do it Valve.
 
Re: Team Fortress 2 - Free to Play ?

Aaah I see. Don't have any source game yet. Just waiting for a couple of things to sell and then I'm getting the Orange Box asap. (I would be the last person on earth no? :ashamed:)
 
Re: Team Fortress 2 - Free to Play ?

okay guys..started tf2 download just now.is it okay to install this to my general steam account or is it better to create a new account? And I want to know about the ideal servers for indian guys from the tf2 gurus in this forum!!

and viral bug ..added you on steam.lemme know when you start playing. :ohyeah:
 
Re: Team Fortress 2 - Free to Play ?

Why do you wanna create a new account? The whole purpose of Steam is to keep all your games under one hood. :P

Added you both.

How are the pings for MTNL mumbai? :(
