Hall of Death was kind of fun for a change of pace, but Melee Barn is just a dumb gimmick map. Personally I’d be fine with Dustbowl 24/7.
I was kind of amused by the PoE smack talk (Gamer A: “One of my students applied to Harvard, Brown, Stanford, MIT, and Yale. And he got in to all of them!” Gamer B: “Joke’s on him. There’s no way he can go to all of them.”), but generally the volume got too high when we got 32 people on all talk.
Scrax is that all you have for played time?
Melee barn was fun forthe first 5 minutes then it was a struggle to not disconnect. But I must agree with the previous comments the poe all talk is really a big downfall of the server especially at more then 10v10.

Yea, I only play TF2 on QT3 nights.
I enjoy Hall of Death, but Meleebarn is lame.
I don’t mind POE all that much, but some of them can get screechy. Diva throws out obscenities just to see them on the screen, and the guy who switches between the names puppy chucker/lesbians/etc goes from somewhat funny to completely annoying at the flip of a switch.
I enjoy it for the few hours I play a week though.
I do have a server set up if you guys want to use it, if QT3 jumped on and we left it password free, it would fill up with pubbies I’m sure.
That said, I think the POE server is still probably the preferable arrangement. I just wish they’d turn all talk back off, that would solve a lot.
You definitely win my “most infuriating player” award. I swear everytime I managed to take you down with a rocket it was like christmas. My favorite was the one time I got behind you on dustbowl and rocket juggled you out of your hidey hole into the fray.
Still doesn’t make up for the dozens of headshots (insert angry emoticon).
I generally like the PoE server, but I have to agree that turning alltalk back off would be much better. The goofiness wears a little thin when it’s compounded by listening to everyone at the same time, and now occasionally you have to listen to a couple of people screaming “YEAH BITCH!” or a variation into their mic every time they kill someone.
Also lately it seem like they cycle through circlejerk, hall of death, and melee barn way more than they used to. Occasionally is fine for a change, but after cycling through all of those twice and then changing from a regular map back to one of those yet again is a little much.
After Scrax’s post I have to wonder, don’t you guys get bored playing one class so much like that? I guess you really hone your skills and all, but all sniper all the time? I prefer to fool around a bit more.
My stats: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197970188513/stats/TF2
I play sniper the most, but not quite the concentration as Scrax. Look at it this way, if you have a favorite class and the situation is good for that class, than you play it. If their is no place for your favorite class, than you pick something else, probably situational to what your team does not have enough of. Hence, that time gets spread out over numerous classes.
My favourite class is medic. People never really seem to get upset at that.
Mine: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197970516604/stats/TF2
I played as Engineer almost exclusively for a long time, then branched out to Medic, Pyro, and Demoman. I usually choose between those 4 based on the situation and team composition. I’ve barely played as a Spy at all.
Wow Lazy that’s an impressively even split amongst all classes. I’m a bit lopsided towards one class myself though. http://steamcommunity.com/id/DTH/stats/TF2 Personally I’d love to work on my Heavy a bit more but theres never a good medic around, when I’m want to heavy.
This is probably the one game on my hard drive that I can’t get into no matter how hard I try (and no matter how much I want to). Maybe I will jump on Qt3 game one day.
Maybe I play this game too much. I think I’ve got more time in my top 2 classes then all of you guys times combined. And I too am very stacked on my playtime. I hate playing scout and medic. Not a fan of heavy either.
Poop sockin’.
I don’t think you can hate a class if you haven’t played it for at least an hour. Especially when you’ve clocked over 400 in other classes.
What’s the server?
Oh, and berzerk drunken pyro runs for the win. Most of my time is racked up as engineer as a noob, more as a medic as a kinda noob. Now it’s pyro. Keep checking those tunnels, guys…and any time an engi can get a tele behind your lines, I am happier than a little girl.
I am absolute ass as a sniper.
Really? I played sniper for all of 10 minutes before hating it. Same with spy.
I leave it off most of the time.
I just meant I have the TF2 server installed on a decent dedicated machine in a real hosting facility (mostly used as a low traffic web server), and would be glad to flip it on for QT3 games. If you left a password off it would probably fill out pretty quickly after a handful of QT3ers got in there. I’d be glad to give admin access to a few people too.
I’m not lobbying for it, but I’d be happy to do it if that’s what people wanted.
sigh If I didn’t have a kid, I’m sure my playtime would look similar. As it is, 60-odd total hours played is a lot for me.
Not only do I suck, but I’ve put in as much time total as most of you have in a single class.

Uh, yeah. 450 hours? In, what? 5 months? 6? That’s not a game, that’s a job.
I’ve vowed to take a major break from tf2 when I hit 200 hours, which is uncomfortably close.
How did you stay alive so long as a medic, much less accumulate that many points in one life? I’m lucky to last 10 minutes if I’m anywhere near the front line.
Wait, 16 captures, too? What the hell were you playing?
Those sound like circlejerk numbers.
Wow, are you OCD? Those columns are so neat. Maybe you do what I tried to for a time - note which class is at the bottom of my Most Played list while the map loads, then play him until the map changes. Ended up playing a lot of Sniper and Pyro, didn’t like it much.
I think that’s the only stats page I’ve seen where your least-played class is also your highest-scoring one.
I don’t get bored of playing Spy all the time. In fact, it’s almost the opposite - every time I find myself exasperated with the game or uninspired, I notice, “Hey, I’m not playing Spy. That’s the problem.”
It’s hard not to slip back into Soldier when the team’s failing, because there’s no doubt he’s more useful in most situations. But I just tire of spending exactly half my life reloading, and having no interesting options the rest of the time.
