Not any more. Besides, I've seen some videos of Minecraft and it's just not my kind of game.2012 Wont Happen said:

Razorback? Unfortunately, random drops never work in my favour and I don't intend to spend any more money on this game than I already have. Besides, when you play Sniper, you fall into one of two classes: you dominate the entire other team, or you epic fail. I, like most people, am in the second category, so I never bother playing Sniper.RadiusXd said:
I bought it a couple years back, joined a game, commented a bit on how we were doing (Not half bad). THEN I was told "SHUT THE FUCK UP" or, "Lol this kid is a noob". Every server, same thing. I've gathered TF2 isn't really a game for talking or socializing, just really silent understanding and a common goal. Once you get into that one class your good at, the game gets so much better. I recently found my medicing skills are better then my others. Maybe because Medic is easy to do, but I never really made it as the others. Join a game, get on, and just play. So what if you suck, everyone does. Don't care if someone talks, you learn to blot it out. Most servers only kick for AFKing or being an overall dick. And since your a person who doesn't like losing, then just do your part the best you can, let your team shape up and take example of you. It's about being YOUR best, not expecting your team to do the work. Maybe the game just isn't for you, who knows. But you did buy it, so give it a go and play your hardest. Only when you give your best can you see if the game is truly for you.
Team Fortress isn't the easiest game to get into. I liked it for a while, the people got on my nerves however. I think I saw anime scat porn one server then I uninstalled, never to go back. I'd suggest doing the same if you can't really think of any redeeming qualities to the game.
whoever said that, is full of it. the stock sniper may need you to headshot frequently, but the bow and arrow or sydney sleeper both are great at "just hit them". as for the random drops, you only played for 13 hours, so it doesn't surprise me.leet_x1337 said:
i had the razorback, bow and arrow, jarate, and sydney sleeper and much more within a week of regular play, and i am f2p ffs.
well, not really, but you healed someone, gave them a warning, and helped your team. every little step is one that could lead your team to victory. here's a tip. when you heal someone, never stop moving. keep a good idea of your surroundings, and shot all of your teammates. if they bleed, keep shooting. a lot of it depends on the map. 2fort is shit. look for custom map servers. they use maps like this:leet_x1337 said:
or this:
or this:
and finally, this.
remember, 2fort is a bad thing. find a server playing these, and you will have fun.
but in the end, i have about 250 hours played, and the first 50 of it, I was like you. stick with it, follow my advice, learn to enjoy the little things, and it will get better.
Okay. Fine. I'll reinstall the damn game, and I'll try using 'start playing', and I'll fave any servers I find which are at least reasonably nice to me, and I'll try to stop minding that I'm terrible because I don't have enough time to spend just playing it, and I'll wear the PoP, and play Medic, and all that. I shouldn't have made this thread, though. I should have just asked for advice. That way, it wouldn't be a strain on my sanity.
So now that I've admitted over and over that I fail at life, please, please, please, please...

Not completely true, most of the guys over at GR.org tend to be welcoming, so long as your not an asshole and don't mind their antics.Sgt_Jakeman214 said:
Around here it is still overrated. Of course, pretty much every Valve game is.leet_x1337 said:
Valve's greatest attribute as a company is how well it treats its players. It treats its players damn well. As for games... well...
They made a good zombie shooter and a pretty good glorified expansion pack for it (L4D).
They made an overrated, but still pretty good, series of single player shooters (Half Life).
They made a very overrated online shooter (TF2).
They made one excellent series of games (Portal).
They are hailed as game making geniuses but, honestly, there are so many game companies which have made more games of more quality.
As for Minecraft not being your sort of game, its not anybody's sort of game until they play it for a couple of hours.
It really just sounds like a lot of whining to me. There are two different paths you can take in this situation. Play the game more and practice until you improve over time, (Which will happen, TF2 is no exception) or play a different game. If your not having fun with the game, (and you don't quite sound like you enjoying it) then don't play it at all.
Wasn't there an escapist server? Go play there and say you're from the escapist, I'm sure those guys will take you in and give you helpful advice. That one server that banned you? Forget them, it's not like they're the only server in the world. Find a community that you enjoy, find a class you enjoy that you're decent at, and play. The game doesn't keep track of wins and losses so if you lose? Big deal, hopefully next round you'll do better, either that or you can just hop to a different server and see how you do there. As for youtube videos? You'll looking at them wrong, study them. Understand the reason why those people are doing the things they're doing. Search up things like "how to play scout." and you should find videos that have added tutorials in them.
Either that or don't play. Your post does scream out "This game is horrid because people were mean and I don't have the necessary skill level to play it properly." Find something that better suits your tastes or take the time to understand what you're doing in the game. The game is not bad, and shouldn't be considered bad just because you ran into a couple of bad apples in game and don't know how to play it.
The game does have a bit of a learning curve to it, and the fact that it's so heavily team based can throw people off. It's not so much about personal skill and being able to carry as it is about what you can do to help benefit your team. Think about what the enemy team is doing and what you can do to counter it to benefit your team instead of what you can do to get more kills.

This a hundred thousand times. Go play on a few dozen servers, you're bound to make a few friends if you talk to your team and try to have fun. I've met quite a few good friends from online games just by talking to my team, suggesting strategies and warning them about enemy players. It will most likely get way better.Lilani said:
Of course, there is the chance that you simply don't like the game, and in that case I guess there isn't much to do other than make SURE you don't like it, leave it for a few months, go back to it to try again, and then abandon it if you still don't have fun with it. But I highly doubt that will happen.
If you REALLY need help, send me a PM and I'll friend you on steam and try to help you out.
I've been playing Team Fortress since it was a mod for Quake. Granted people were less likly to be assholes back them.
Best advice for new players in play demo and learn how to bank grenades around corners. Then work on the sticky jump. Or pyro and sweep for spys.
The only thing that pisses me off about the game is the new soldier weapons. The can disable a sentry gun and basically mess with the balance of the whole game.
Also disable voice chat. In fact you should have voice chat disabled in all source engine games. No one says any thing worth hearing.

I agree.
I'm a pretty big fanboy (my avatar..) but I just can't consistently get into tf2. Getting items is cool, but they get boring pretty quickly.
I'm not bad at it, I usually have a positive k/d and I don't rage from dying a lot, tf2 doesn't make me angry like that.
But I just don't find it that much fun.
And everyone always goes on about how nice the community is, I mean, some of them are great but there are just as many douchebags as something like CoD.
The other day I was on a server with this guy and I pyro'd him so he started raging at me.
I said something like "Dude relax it's just a game" then he started abusing me and saying I was a noob/******/fucktard etc.
Everytime I typed something in chat, none of which was even directed towards him, he'd just say something like 'Shut the fuck up lemonade you ******"
Yeah, great community.
EDIT:
Oh yeah and when I played yesterday the soldier had two new weapons which were laser guns with unlimited ammo and the ability to fuck up sentry guns with ease and mini-crit to hell.
I think I'll stick to css

Tell me what it's called. No pix no proof. Also, there's probably only fewer than 24 players less than 0% of the time.snowfox said:
Okay, good point. But like I said: it's a time commitment I simple don't have.
I know how to play it, it's just that I never get a chance to show that because if I'm not getting backstabbed, I'm getting headshotted!
Still, who wants to be the worst player on the server? The guy who's never alive long enough to provide benefits that people will notice? The dude with a KDR lower than 0.15? Because I'm all of those things at once. Everywhere. No matter what class, what people, what map, what type...
