Thread: My killings dont work!!! (TF2 rant)

Ok... I got my kit set, headphones on and my mic ready.. got myself a glass of milk and a cookie to boot!...

Jump into the map and beging laying waste!.. CRits BLood and explosions every where. Soldiers and heavys blasting everything and one apart!..I see my shots from my demo and soldier blowing crap up..Im like "I ROCKZORZ!!!".... I die....

on screen pops up...

"You tied your best kill streak.. of 1.." WTF one kill!... ONE.... 10 minutes of playing and only one kill!... FRIIGGIN I SUX!

Better?.. shoot!.. im busting a sweat playing as it is right now thinking im kicking ass... Geesh!...

Yeah, and you also have to keep in mind a few other things;

1. Team Fortress 2 is, as the name suggests, team-based. It's also objective-based. To win, your team takes the objectives. If you happen to get a bunch of kills in the process, that's cool, but it's not the goal of the game. It's just something that happens on the way there.

2. Multiplayer games pit you against people of widely varying skills (well, some console games try to get you with people on a similar skill level, but whatever). If you end up against people who kick your ass, it may not mean that you suck, but that you suck compared to them.

3. We all have matches... even whole evenings of them... where we just aren't on par with our usual level of ass-kickery... and sometimes we find ourselves well above that level. If you always did well, it would get boring after a while, and you'd find yourself just hoping for someone good enough to shake things up. I have had this experience before in a couple of games I was especially good at. I have also had times where I can't do anything right. Yesterday I just couldn't get a break. We'll see if I've shaken off enough stress to do well tonight.

4. You might not be playing a class that's ideal for you. If I get more than a single kill as a Scout, I'm doing better than usual, but as a Heavy, it just means that I should grab some more ammo.

Pasted from another thread i started in another sub-forum......

I've already notified Steam of this. So, here goes....

I spend a better part of an afternoon downloading L4D 2. I paid the full price of $50. I start the game up and get thru the opening video. Then to the loading screen. I sat there for 2 minutes looking at it. It never did squat. I tried to ctrl-alt-delete to get out of it. Nope. I tried hitting my Windows key which brings up the Start Menu which ALWAYS gets me out of whatever i'm doing if something freezes. Nope. I had to do a hard shut down. Tried it again. Same thing.

I'm really ticked off because of this. I've contacted Steam over this one with a harsh e-mail. I don't take kindly to spending money like this to have this happen. Never had this trouble with L4D 1... ever.

Any suggestions?

Figured it out. It was a setting on my firewall that affected this. I feel like a moron now.:insane10:

The Server column with Trusted and Internet weren't being allowed. That was it.
