Remember, robots are like bears, except in one key area: they are much, much, much
-- I really can't stress this enough -- much less scared of you than you are of them.
Hopefully this is a good option for playing with randoms. I played games with friends a few times and they were always so awesome, but public servers are always just a total mess.
the cinematic's started using the more, er, cinematic lighting during Meet The Spy; with the quality evolving over the subsequent films. In-game is still the same though. Assuming that's what you meant of course.
Sweet. Will be looking forward to this. Was massively addicted to TF2 but I stopped playing due to all the daft updates (hats) making the game laggy. Also TF2 broke my last graphics card.
Anyhoo. Looks awesome. Wonder why they don't show Pyro, spy or sniper as the players. Maybe these aren't in co-op mode? That'd be a shame. Spy was my fav.
I dunno about the pyro, but I'm not sure how useful the Spy or Sniper would really be in a horde mode game-type. Sniper might be good for hanging back and covering other players, but only if the enemy balance allows for that. Spy could probably run around sapping bots, but it'd probably be faster just to shoot 'em with a more shooty class? Granted as it's also only a 6 player game mode they most likely just chose 6 classes to use for the vid and then stuck with 'em.
Awesome. The Spy is in!!! Can't wait to backstab me some AI dumbasses.
Actually. I wonder if there'll be a "robot" spy. The AI for that would have to be pretty complex compared to the other characters. Which are pretty much just "shoot on sight".
Just re-installed and played some 2fort for old time sake. I'm so rusty its unreal! Still loads of fun though. Must be careful, don't want to find myself addicted for the 3rd time. I just love playing defensive spy though.
Getting on a server involves waiting in a massive queueueue right now, until servers can switch over. Don't worry too much about getting the update finished right now.
Thought TF 2 would autoupdate whenever the patch was released, so spent most of the night playing Dust: Elysian Tail (get it, great game) only to realise I had to set it in motion. Guess I'll be playing it another time, and judging by what tkitty is saying that might just be the best course of action. Any chance the Polycount server will go up again for this?
So I tried a match (bought a ticket) had to quite since it don't seem like the server replaces people who leave, HUGE FLAW, since we ended up being 2 people and NO one to join which seemed kinda weird because when I tried to join a server the numbers of players that were in the queue just rose. Not only that but it doesn't scale accordingly to how many is playing. So it's as hard as playing 3 as 6 players. Since gold drops playing as a sniper is kinda pointless since everyone else will be taking "your" gold (still haven't completed a wave so don't know if there is some kind of reward for doing your roll).
If these things gets fixed I might consider playing it cause now playing as a sniper/spy is pointless and those are the only two roles I wanna play as. Yeah I'm a selfish bastard.
Edit: Joined a custom server and it was so much easier, after each round I got money from the missed cash, so it's good playing as a sniper.
it was a lot of fun after tinkering in the servers to find one. It got really hard with the mega scout running past our defenses... he is so darn fast. I was having fun, i like the upgrades that you can get as you play. I can see this being a time consumer.
I thought cash was shared, if one person gets it, everyone does.
Also spy is the best for taking out groups of hard hitting baddies, like soldiers or heavies (use the zapper, then 5 free backstabs, I feel as a spy you have to buy back in a lot more, and use more cash, but you can easily stop what others get raped from.
A group of us at work play religiously. We just got done playing at lunch. This has to be one of my favorite co-op experiences ever. Fantastic job, Valve! I want to keep playing. ><
