TF2 isn't Counter-Strike. It's supposed to be a loosy-goosy pub game. Crits are fun. CTF from my experience is far from a sniper war or engineer turtle. I think TF2 is going through a poor time right now though. While the unlockables might seem like a great thing to some, it alienates the people who don't keep up with the game all the time and they feel behind.GodLovesDead
One thing I will say is that the unlockables weren't that desirable for the most part until the scout update. Their upgrades are a little overpowered right now but valve will readjust pretty quick.

Its wired you say all that because I think the exact opposite. I love playing TF2 way way way over CS or HALO or Battlefield or COD. The classes are balanced with big advantages and disadvantages for each. The maps are much more interesting than something like CS. The crits are personal preference so I'll leave it at that. But over all I feel TF2 is the most fun online FPS I play. Best of all its built around fun and not being too serious.

what makes you think they run it on a pc? If I owned a software company it would make way more sense to run everything off a server. For all you know they might have dual 3.2 gz nahalem quad core processors with quad sli 285's. I really don't have a clue if they do or not but they certainly could. Alsio one of the keys to performance is resolution. A trailer will probably be seen in a 1280 resoultion max so that helps if you were trying to run it on a higher res at home.

don't know what the problem is but HL2 runs fine in vista and compatibility mode isn't needed

they aren't compatible. If you are playing a DX9 game you must have it installed I believe.

I think it will cost too much. they may have developed it for years but testing on a mass scale is quite different. The bottom line is that the processing still has to be done and that costs someone money. It you don't do the heavy lifting on your computer you will be paying someone else to and that is bound to be tremendously expensive. I have said before that mmo's charge $15/month and do relatively little processing. To really run crysis on high you will have to pay the equivalent of of a machine that can run it plus onlives profits.

yes a 550 watt power supply will work. As far as the pci slot, the easiest way to tell is to just know what one looks like. There are probably white card slots on your motherboard. These are pci slots. A pci express x16 or pcie x16 slot is longer and often different colored. there are also short (probably 2 inch long pcie x1). If you have an AGP slot it is usually colored as well and shorter than the pcie slots. If you have some sort of graphic card already, the easiest way to tell is to go to device manger and open the display adapters tab. Right click the adapter under this and click on properties. It should tell you whether the card is in a PCI or AGP slot. hope this helps

The game is DX10 only.....Even thoe its out on 360 and PS3.....Epic Fail. Why do developers do this? Dx10 is worthless really. Almost everything you could do in dx10 could have been done in dx9 and with better performance. And the majority are still using Windows xp, and their are still people out their with only dx9 cards!

Lame

Actually the biggest advantage of DX10 is performance over DX9. The graphics are only marginally better but DX10 allows shaders to process vertexes and pixels as necessary and this makes the DX10 format much more efficient. Also while the majority of pc's still use XP, the majority of gamers do not. The bigger point is that the world of technology is evolving and you need to keep up if you want access to all games. There are really very few DX9 cards left that will be powerful enough for the next generation of games.
