So is it only custom maps and if, which?
My net is pretty slow and downloading them when u guys play will probably lead to me joining
when you all left.
Ill maybe hop in at 5 am euro time
I guess ill only be able to build turrets with my eyes closing permanently ^^
I might be able to make the later scheduled game - I think my backup PC is just powerful enough to run TF2, and I'm downloading the game files now, so keeping them crossed!
We cant join the game because of a missing map error, just in case you were wondering why suddenly half the people left when it switched to pl_swiftwater
That was a lot of fun. I agree that list with the maps would be handy. I was wondering around some time before I figure out where to put the map that I manually downloaded
how do you even search? I can't find search in the interface...
When you're looking for a server down at the bottom you have an include function and next to that is a field... if you type in the name of the server it usually comes up... likewise, if you want to play dustbowl or something like that you can just type that in... or a pl map ctf or what have you.
So, after a day downloading the game files, turns out I'll have to wait after all - there's no way this piece of crap machine is going to run TF2. :poly127:
Dan: are you sure? If you turn it down, it should run on some pretty modest hardware.
On my laptop I need to make sure nothing's using the hdd in the background, because tf2 will chug like a slideshow. Then again, that's a 5200rpm harddrive.
Anyway, I had lots of fun playing with you guys, do it again next week?
Thanks to everyone (all three of you ) who turned up!
By the way, some KOTH maps in the map-cycle would be nice, since they work nicely for smaller games (since there isn't always so many people around).
GG to all the peeps who were playing tonight.
Cool to see another industry server to play in. Checked it out on the Sunday game overall a lot strong players.
That saying the server needs Auto-balance turned on. One team was always two players down through the night. Not Fun.
Just to let everyone know I am training for the next round and this time I will really try to kill somebody Some strong players there indeed. I have never played with just few guys and it is quite different than the usual 30 players game.

Is it possible to set map rotation based on number of players? KOTH would be much nicer for those 2v2s compared to a massive PL map or maps with more than 2 Control Points.
Can them arena maps be converted into... FFA DM with a point system based on kills, and when that number is reached then that team "wins"? Maybe normal arena would be fun too, I don't play it mainly because of the waiting time, especially when the left over players take forever in killing eachother off.
Also to those players who are really serious and start calling everyone noobs and "fags" if they don't listen to them... There is always more than 1 way to suggest people to do things, and coming off like an arrogant ass isn't the best one to choose. In fact some people will deliberately disobey your orders just because they don't like the way you gave them
I realize name calling and general whining at crappy teams/noobs is a typical thing found in most servers, but I was kinda hoping this one would be free of that

It is a public server so its most likely non PC people doing such. If not. Give us names so we can heckle!

ah good point, for a moment there I somehow thought everyone going to the PC server would be from PC
I just looked at the 2 annoying guys I met yesterday and they both aren't in the PC group.

dan: ack, that sucks. Anyway, I meant tomorrow. Hope to see a few of you there!

Be there or be square!
was fun while it lasted.
A list with download links would be helpful for those of us on less-than-excellent connections.
Yeah we do.. that was a joke with them though.. inside joke for those that were in game 2 minutes ago.. gah get with the popular crowd!
Ill see how bad my ping is in a second still downloading updates.
It'd be nice to get some smaller maps like doublecross or something a bit more fast paced (with such a small amount of players) or instant respawn
Was fun playing, that missing map error is a bit of a killer though.
