just read this, great deal



this may be a silly question but once paid for on steam you have to download everything yeah?
that'd take fucking ages, even on my new 20mb connection

Yeah you get to preload TF2 only though, Portal and EP2 probably within the coming weeks. As for the download speeds it was pretty damn quick with TF2, only a few minutes at around 1.5 - 1.8MBs.

44.00 USD = 21.65 GBP

holy fuck, i'm guessing its rounded off to £30, which is insanely good.

I guess I'll preload this beauty then! rock:

Already preloading tf2 because of the black box voucher, ep 2 and portal are listed in my steam list as well. happy:

Oh how it teases me so, all downloaded and ready to go but inaccessable mad:

Peggle is such a fun game too biggrin:

Just read that black box owners also get into the beta this coming week. rock:

Demoman is total scottish psycho, medic is german, some quality voices! biggrin:

Black box was dropped for retailers as they didn't want people getting confused as to what box had what. It was given away with ati cards though and thats where i got it from. happy:

i'll just wait for it on my 360, looks like a fun game and the standard headset will make it bit more groovy regardless of any whining controls.

oh well i have to wait till october

Its coming to 360?

Can't wait to play this tomorrow rock:

Mine is pre-loaded and waiting to be activated..........I heard rumours of 6pm PST, which is shite for me cause that means it'll prolly be bloody tuesday til I can play.
Wish they could just release it at 12.01 GMT at least happy:

Its amazing how many tfc players are crying about this not incorperateing the conc grenades and all the gayness they entailed.

Guess its too hard for people to jump into a game and not have aleg up on everyone, oOo: . Im glad went the route of dropping some of the lame elements of the multi and slowing it down some, puts everyone on a level playing field unlike iD games where the multi is essentially the same nomatter what game they bring out.

Looking forward to tomorrow. happy:

Even if people do whine about certain aspects then everyone can answer back telling them to go play FF

We're going by PST here so theyre 8 hours behind us, if they release it anything past 4pm their time its inconveniant as fuck for us :(

If theyre smart they'll release it earlier to avoid the rush of kids just home from school logging on and slamming the steam servers.

biggrin:

holy crap i remeber seeing screen shots in pc gamers years ago with those graphics

So will a lot of people actually be playing this game? I might pick it up if at least 4,000 people will be playing it consistently.

for fucks sake, release it, its 11.50pm and I gots uni 2moro

i sound like a spoilt kid right now but i've been waiting all night, i should've really done something else but the hype has a firm grip on me....

nag:

Annoying wait, the steam forums have been hammered all day so any official announcements..good luck seeing them as the pages barely ever load in.

Dunno wtf this big wait is for a beta =/

mine says downloading on 65%, but before it was fully preloaded. also says launch, i'll test it out but whats it downloading?

apparently there was mayhem through the night about it happy:

Was a pain in the ass, it was dloaded full and activated and the game wouldn't start, would just give a loading icon on the mouse pointer and then stop. Valve had to issue a fix within about a half hour.

ive still an issue with having to load the game in windowed mode then forcing full screen =/

So you have to buy the Orange Box to be able to play this early or can you just purchase TF2 to play it early? I'm probably going to get the Orange Box anyway for Portal so it's not a big deal.

Have to purchase orange box, at the minute though i dunno if you can still buy it and get the game early, ive seen one guy saying he bought it and got a 10% off coupon instead of the game and another saying he got the game.

LOL, love the graphics.

I just bought the Orange Box, and I'm downloading HL2, HL2 Ep 1, HL2 Lost Coast, and TF2 all at the same time all around 500 kb/s. I paid $44.95 straight up just like it was advertised, so I assume I'll be playing TF2 soon.

Yeah you will do, if you can dload it you'll be playing it id assume.

so how do you like it? is it easier than quake wars to figure out wtf is going on?

Its pretty fun to get into, just allout mayhem in some of the map s where the enemy have to capture a point that you;re guarding by setting up sentries etc. Iys strange though that some of the weapons from the trailer aren't in this version, the demoman for instance in the trailer you see him swinging a bomb then tossing it, the bomb blows and smaller sticke of dynamtite go flying and blow up, that doesn't seem to be in the game.

Really fun game though all the same, the graphics and the taunts etc really work well together, the action is over the top and cartooney as well.

Gerv I keep getting in-game crashes. The game just freezes after about 5 minutes of play. I lowered all my graphical settings to low and it still happened, although that shouldn't be a problem as my hardware is good enough to run on max? I know others are having problems with this as well.

^ Latest drivers?

Not had any problems like that, just the fullscreen\windowed bug =/

Ah shit, another game to buy.

This game is fucking amazing, I even bought it for my mate too

So much fun and runs on everyones computers perfectly. Some people say it runs better than counter strike source rock:
