[HEADING=1]On the behalf of the Escapist Team Fortress 2 PC Clan:[/HEADING]
I invite you to a fun-filled weekend with your fellow Escapists. Whether you have ever been curious about TF2, or if you just want to come for a kickabout with a few of the regulars, Team Fortress 2 is on Free Trial this weekend.

The Escapist servers are on
alpha.tf2.escapistmagazine.com:13013
uk.tf2.escapistmagazine.com:13013
beta.tf2.escapistmagazine.com:14014

If you have any trouble AT ALL connecting, feel free to add me on Steam (my nick is chimpyacee [http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197996583789]). The other admins are Kross, Root Of All Evil and Danny Ocean, all of whom have their accounts linked on their profile pages.

So go here [http://store.steampowered.com/app/440/], download the game free of charge, and I hope to see YOU on the servers over this weekend!


[HEADING=2] And to all of you sitting there thinking "But I own TF2 already..."[/HEADING]

I have 2 jobs for you. The first is to BE THERE, join the TF2 Group [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/chat/The-Escapist-Team-Fortress-2-Group-PC] and the Steam group [http://steamcommunity.com/groups/EscapistTF2]. Your other job? Bring a friend along! We're always welcoming new members to the group, and always up for a laugh or three when in game.

Spoiler: Just a quick look at some videos of the stuff we've done recently

See you there

Will it be on Alpha,Beta or UK?

 

[Castratikron]

Cool i might check it out

 

[wordsmith]

Grand so, wheres your server? Logging on to American servers makes my ping go whooosh!

We've got 2 servers in the US, South Carolina if memory serves. Escapist UK is based (predictably) in the UK, and usually has an OK ping. I know what you mean though, the area I live in gets it's connection bounced through France before it gets here, I'm lucky to get double digits. Which the UK server does manage, by the way.

The alpha server is always empty, and I havn't checked the others... but this weekend I will make an effort!

Usually we play on the UK server, and the Beta server is set up to Arena at the moment (as far as I know.) We only usually play on Alpha if a) We have a lot of Americans playing (and complaining of lag) or b) we run out of space on UK. Myself and Danny should be on for admin, I need to speak with Root about him helping out too.

 

[dark_taint92]

the uk server is the most active. all the uk based people are on it at the weekend

 

[Irridium]

I'll be there. What would the festivities include?

Melee only, Solly vs demoman, 1v1 thunderdome style...

And what day and time?

 

[Goodluf]

Aww damn, why this weekend, why?! Me and my friends have booked a place for the weekend, where we will host a LAN party. No internet connection there, I think...I could come to play some TF 2 on Sunday (or very late Saturday) if this is still on...?

I suppose I must drown my sorrows in some epic games of DoW and Red Alert 3! Maybe next time guys.

 

[martin's a madman]

I've favorited the Alpha server a while back, but it's pretty much always empty. :/

I'll keep a closer eye on it and the others this weekend to see if there is, you know, anyone there to play with.

Yeah, I was in there one night with a friend 1v1ing soldier VS Demo. (We were doing it fairly, don't worry)

 

[TheSeventhLoneWolf]

You will see me there. And I will be healing you.

Anazuh sukezzful prozedure!

 

[Ace of Hearts]

Roaring Irish reporting for ass whooping.

Anybody need a Demoman with a chip on his shoulder?

I want to do 3 proper games, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and it'd be great to have you along. We usually play 9pm UK time, although I'm sure there are a few people who usually miss our games due to timezones who'd be up for it. Join those groups I linked, and if you want a game SAY SO.

just want to know how to get it without downloading the whole game that cost. I want the game, but I don't want to buy it now.

 

[Dorian]

I'll be there, mates.
And I might ACTUALLY try to figure out this bloody laptop's mic, so I won't be a Force-a-Fail.

[sup]DISCLAIMER: Portal Maniac is still a fucking noob at this game, as he has only played it a few times before, and he may-or-may-not have extreme lag after he attempts to customize the graphics settings. Please go easy on this poor soul, as he enjoys this game regardless of how well he's doing, but it's much more fun when his Sentries aren't getting asploded by the eleventy-bajillion explosives that are BOUND to be out there due to the WAR update.[/sup]

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

The best thing to do is to join the Steam group as well. If you really want a game, hit me, Danny Ocean or Wordsmith with a tell and we can usually rally the troops.

Obviously we can't be on the server all the time though

This weekend, the whole game is free and you can start downloading it now

This weekend is a free trial, if you click on the link it will take you to the TF2 page, where you can just preload it on Steam. If you don't have a steam account, the link on the right hand side will guide you through it. You don't have to pay anything to play it this weekend, and the trial goes on until Sunday.
