Pulled the trigger, I'm in guys. I'll blame Teknopathetic ..

edit: Pre-loading, 0.3% done :-/ .. Ok read the post above, steam is not down, just very very slow.

 

[perryfarrell]

Yeah I can't connect to Steam either. Maybe that's a sign it'll be up soon.

 

[JonathanEx]

Go into offline mode and then connect again.

Sorry to sound like a dick but can TF2 be brought seperately to the rest of the orange box content atm, or is that not going to happen untill like next year or something?

I never got into hl2 dispite how good the game is, do not have ep1 and only realy play CSS on steam now and again so TF2 on its own for me is much better, and my pc is no beast too.

 

[ThaiGrocer]

I think that was done for the sake of durability.

Yeah it can be bought separately. It's like $25 on it's own.

 

[AstroLad]

Relax guys, they are probably just tweaking the graphics and gameplay as we speak. Getting some last-minute improvements in. And we will all be better off for it.

Valve's pretty good about updating the Valve-time wiki entry.

[Red Blaster]

Ahem, pardon me for asking, but where the hell's my stupid game? Come on Valve, everyone's getting antsy.

 

[ggnoobIGN]

What a bunch of cock teases.

 

[Javaman]

And tightening up the graphics on level 3?

"And my mom said I would never get ANYWHERE with these games."

 

[Thaedolus]

Play the Quake Wars demo instead?

 

[brandonh83]

Ugh what I wouldn't give to join in on this, but I won't have the money until next week. When does the pre-play end?

 

[CastleBravo]

Well, I have to leave for my criminal behavior class in an hour (6pm PST). Based on that, I hope the game doesn't come out until 10pm PST when I get home! It just wouldn't be right to get home and get slaughtered by all the people who have already been practicing! :lol

 

[MutFox]

I wish they would let me do my binds atleast.

Prob til release.

Pretty sure it's going to be the full version minus user created content. They call it a beta, but it's basically just to drive up sales. There can't be much of a beta when the game has already gone gold. :lol

 

[saelz8]

The BETA will most likely go right up into release (Very day).

In fact, this "BETA" might actually be the full game.
