Prepare for Team Fortress 2! (It's free!)

I think a few people on here need to chill out. You all have different opinons and yes, you can discuss them, but without it turning it into a flame/insult fest.
This is just a reminder, anymore and action will be taken!

Also, on a server note, if you have any problems, PM either myself or Hiroshi Sotomura with the exact details, why it wasn't playable, ping and so on.​

It's pretty much just the distance. It's not made for Australia (which a surprisingly large portion of us seem to be) to the US.

Unless we can get an Australasian server, I can't see the issue going anywhere. That said, I'm sure there's enough of us to consider it.

For the record, I go by the name [OCAU] Ethan. Oh, and Fabio, I'm getting 250-300 ping. By contrast, I get ~30-45 to Aussie servers. With 250-300 FPS, so I'm really not used to lag, lol.
 
My kd ratio has NEVER been this high. I mean, I normally manage a positive kd of 1.5:1 or something like that, but lately I've been getting 5:1 and even once, 10:1.

It's also funny to see some of these people just shooting walls because there was an enemy standing there 10 seconds ago.

Haha, welcome to F2P. I usually spend more time aiming for caps/teamwork than my KD. The other day, I managed to cap all points (Payload) almost solo... twice over in a full 24-man server.

It also surprises me just how much of a difference good communication works. If the team can keep each other informed of where the threats are (sentries/ubered heavies/snipers/capping scouts) and co-ordinate their own caps via better timing and cover fire, it just makes the whole thing so much more enjoyable. Sadly, I'm sure a lot of people mute comms, which is sad, considering I rarely hear annoying 12-yr olds outside of trade servers.

Which is why Portal 2 co-op worked so well.
