embracing my inner noob

**bbhos** · 06-17-08, 12:51 PM

Last weekend I broke down and bought the orange box. So I have been playing a bit of TF2. Man I suck something awful but it is a lot of fun. It is a great feeling however, to jump back into 2142 and actually do well after a few rounds of stinking up the TF2 servers. Anyone else from the 2142 world playing over in toon town these days?

I play a little bit but I am terrible at the game and just can't get the hang of it.

I get my TF2 fix once and awhile. It's totally different than bf2142. But have you played CSS? It's a lot faster paced and requires a different set of tactics.

I enjoy playing the pryo. I'm a rusher by heart so it works for me.

It was good fun playing with you tonight hinder. You seem to know your way around the engineer class.

Embarrassed to say I have never played CSS. I would pick it up but I would only want to play on the TTP servers and the competition seems awfully stiff here. I play engineer, soldier and pyro mostly. I still mostly stick with soldier since it seems to be the easiest class to figure out.

It was fun playing with you too, and my sentry gun did all the work all I had to do was build it, and the only reason I was engineer was because I was switched over to defense and we needed one. Sadly it didn't help, you guys still kicked our asses.

And you will be seeing a little more of me in TF2 jabber you can count on that.

It's been a few weeks since I played TF2 but I do enjoy it. I usually ask for some help from the regs there as what to do next. Like push the cart and stuff. I play pyro some and I play medic the most because it just seems to fit since I run medic the best in 2142.

When I get a chance to play sometime, I will look you up first bbhos.

I've been embracing my inner pyromaniac over the last few days... there's something viscerally satisfying about lighting an entire room full of attackers on fire, and watching them all burn as they try to stay on the point. TF2 is crazy, crazy fun, no doubt about it.

I'm sort of the opposite. I usually play TF2 and just picked up BF2 lately.
I usually play medic on TF2 since I'm awful at fps, and medics don't have to worry about aiming quite as much. I'm not great, but I usually manage to be at least average on the server. I've been playing medic on BF2, and I die ridiculously often. I feel like such a nub! (Most of my kills are people who are too busy shooting something else and don't notice me unloading my weapon on them at point blank range

) TF2 is great fun. TF2 and all its cartoony goodness won me over to fps gaming

If anything I think you may have an easier time adjusting to TF2 than I will adjusting to BF2. TF2 is like ACME cartoons in game form
