Polycount TF2 Server

r13

We've set up a few Team Fortress 2 servers for those wanting to get together with other polycounters and shoot each other in the face. Do a search in the map browser for Polycount and you'll find 2 of them. A 32 and a 18 slot server. The 18 is running a stock set up but the 32 we're gonna have fun with and do some customization. Also not sure how much longer the 18 will be up at this point too.

I wanna run some fun custom maps too of course so please feel free to speak up if you have a fave we haven't uploaded yet. So please feel free to stop by and shoot me.

Thanks to one of our resident wizards, cheeseplus for do the heavy lifting on this.

Anyone wanna suggest some images for the server screen?

pl_frontier is always fun
ctf_biomass is the only CTF map I've played in TF2 that doesn't constantly result in stalemates
pl_cashworks is very popular, though I'm not much of a fan

The CGTalk server has a few fun customs, though they're often pretty weird. May want to check the maplist out.

72.233.34.34:27015 for the 32 slot.

I'll be there. TF2 is the only thing I play in my freetime to break up modeling and sculpting :<

rollin

cool ! this is worth checking out

Pseudo

Splash screen should be the low poly tf2 shot that Spacey made.

Thanks for the post. I mostly play on SourceOP since I can never find PC'ers playing. I know you guys are out there though. I'll stop by tomorrow in the 32 man if there are some people in there.

I was playing with one other person, we need to coordinate some game times!

ZacD

yeah, we need to do a weekly thing like CGS.

achmedthesnake

pfttt you have no time for gaming zac...the internetz takes up too many of your hands..

teaandcigarettes

Hell yeah. I haven't played TF2 in ages. Now I have incentive to go back to it.

danshewan

Awesome. Are there going to be regular scheduled games, or is it just turn up and kick ass?

i believe that was me.:D

it was kinda late/early when we played. maybe there'll be more activity in the afternoons or evenings.

Skamberin

Oh thank god a new TF 2 community. Last one I actively participated in banned me for "aimbotting"
IP for the 18 slot one anywhere?

Wahlgren

skamber and me is duking it out now ;D

Skamberin

Fun times despite ping played till TF 2 crashed

Wahlgren

Yeah. Hehe. Everyone that played had like 150+ ping, after awhile you kinda calculated where to shoot to hit xD

Thank god for autoaim-non-lagged sentry turrets!

Skamberin

I did more damage with the Kukri than the sniper it seems :P

Aha! I knew your accent was Scandinavian Flaringo

Flaringo

good to see a fellow norwegian here, though!

Wahlgren

Wanna go sissy girls?

I have whole lot of stuff to render and a whole lot of time to kill. 2 guys in right now

teaandcigarettes

I will probably join you guys once I stop fiddling in photoshop. I hope you will still be there in half an hour

Stinger88

Great Stuff. Had a quick blast on the server earlier. Look forward to kickin ass. Despite the 150 ping Was playable though.

btw, I'll be rickystinger88. So you know.

Emil Mujanovic

150 pings... Whingers! I remember playing on the Polycount server back in Australia and it was like playing with dail-up again!

Rad to see this thing pimping again

seforin

I think I might jump on and mess a few of your newbs up!

Michael Knubben

I've added it to my favourites, so next time I see someone on the server I'll hop on.
These past few weeks I've been plahying a hell of a lot of freezetag, maybe you guys could look into that? It really adds an extra tactical element to games, and I love it!

There's also a Polycount steam group. Everyone should join it, and then one of the group admins should schedule some games.

Taylor Hood

No server showed up when I added this 72.233.34.34:2701
and either did any server show up when I typed in 'Polycount'
Hmm.

Swizzle

I added the Polycount server to my favorites the other day and now it's gone. I suspect it's down.

Skamberin

Why is it down I want it back

Contrails

Yeah did it go down?

KhAoZ

lol nice, let the fragging commence!

Taylor Hood

Still down :O

Michael Knubben

Getting us all ready to frag eachother and then backing out eh? Inexcusable! (Polycounters, add me to your steam, by the way. My nickname is my steam name!)

ZacD

I guess this server is still down, who still plays TF2? Wanna add me so you can kill me? :P

bearkub

The TF2 server is, in fact, down. We are looking for new hosting options for it, so stay tuned..

There are currently a good number of people on right now, if you are interested. You may not want to bookmark that right away as the address may change soonish.

Skamberin

Bookmarked and played a bit with dan.shewan until the game crashed when switching maps.

Also what was up with the random map switching in the middle of a round? odd stuff, still fun. Glad it's back

Snipers should always work in pairs....

Swizzle

Yeah, there's some craziness going on with map switching.

danshewan

Hopefully things will settle down soon so we can schedule some regular weekly games.

Swizzle

Times that don't overlap with the CGTalk games would be cool. They play at 6:00pm PST on Wednesdays and Fridays and 9:00pm PST on Saturdays.

bearkub

OK, last time, I promise.

The permanent server is now at tf2.polycount.com We are on right now trying to get it up and running and sorted if you want to join in.

Skamberin

Awesome, hopping in

crazyfingers

bah, you guys comin' back up?

Anyway, good times guys , thanks for the server.

Moosey_G

That was some great fun!

Skamberin

NO IT WAS TERRIBLE MOOSEY >:(
Except nailing that scout as he was falling down, that was great.

Moosey_G

Lol I wasn't giving lens a break, I'll hop on the next time we do this, I have lots of work to do

Taylor Hood

Nice, a stable server.

Also - First time on TF2 in a bout 2 weeks- sweet new interface!
