Can the skin-using users post the servers where they play (and the skins/models work) here because my server choice has been reduced by 60%?

Open the server browser in-game, go to favorites. Down there is a button, 'Add server', just paste the IP in there, refresh and done.

Thought I left the server before you? Hmmm...

I'll join. I love Team Fortress 2, probably one of my favorite games.

Favorite Class [Pyro]
Favorite Map [undecided]

Actually, after some thought, I'd have to say my favorite class is the Medic.

I absolutely hate the Pyro. To play against it's aggravating because no matter how well you play, you will get burnt every now and then and this means you have to run to health, which is totally off-putting.. and if you're really unlucky, a pyro will manage to kill you (especially if you're a demoman.. reloading is a bitch). To play, they're so easy to use and you get so many points.. it's not fun at all. The other day I was playing on one of my favourite servers and decided to go pyro because we were doing quite bad (on payload), I was mid-way up the table and after 5 minutes of playing as Pyro I was number 1.. it's ridiculously easy to score kills and assists, especially with the backburner. I know I'm not the only person to think this, hence the nickname "W+M1".. though of course that's silly, you need to at least get behind enemies >: 3 and since most maps have alternate routes, it's as easy as running through a side tunnel then popping out behind the enemy and scoring 6 kills in 1 second >: /

Uhm, l have just the thing for you..here.

By the way, if you get killed so much by pyros you REALLY need to get better at this game...you can fucking own pyros as a heavy...or any other class for that matter.
They may seem scary but actuallym they're pretty weak once youy learn their complex tactics (RUN N FLAME).

Also, did you guys notice that when you get an item its level is ridiculously high?
I got a level 96 kritzkrieg yesterday....

Yeah, about the levels. What are they going to do? Make the special ability of a weapon stronger (e.g. Sandman stuns longer, Kritzkrieg ubercharge lasts longer, etc.)? Or maybe increase the damage (which would be really, really dumb)?
Also, what is the highest level? I think it's 100 since, well, I have found a Level 100 Sandman.

That would screw with the balance way too much. My thoughts are perhaps for this weapon trading system. Perhaps there will be some sort of in-game shop, and all the weapons are worth some sort of in-game currency (metal perhaps?) and the higher the level, the higher its worth in this currency will be. It seems like the only viable option to me that wouldn't screw with the game's balance.

What makes you say that? :)
I decided to buy Team Fortress 2, for the Steam with some spare 'Dosh', due to lack of players on XBL.

Add Armouredgriffon, on steam, it should show up as Mr Kipling, which is my XbL name now.

I don't get killed by them that often.. my main gripe with them is how easy they are to PLAY.. like I said when I'm pyro I'm nearly always top of the score board, but I get the points by just running around people and burning them, there is literally no skill required at all :/

About the different level items I remember they said a while ago they were going to introduce new random weapons with unique characteristics, I'm assuming the random "Level" is just the beginning of them introducing it.

Playing the class well takes just as much time to learn as any other class. Spamming W+M1 will also do the same thing against noobs. But thats certainly not how you play pyro. If your playing the class and getting 15% of your kills via airblast knockbacks then you can be considered a proper pyro. If you use the backburner you might as well be some other class because this one isn't for you.

(I was in a trip and had not posted for awhile)

:( I love the pyro class. It seems that I as a pyro am always lucky. And a s a sniper. Anyway... I think that there are no good pyro skins. Only the mario-backburner plant is nice. What do you think?

Skins I'm using:
Scout: Lightsaber (Bat)
Spy: Pokedex (Disguise Kit), Awesome faic masks for the disguises
Pyro: Gibson Explorer (Axe)
Sniper: Hylian Shield (Razorback)
Heavy: Top Hat + Monocle (Football Helmet), Glowing Bullets (Natascha)
Demoman: Grenade Skin, RED logo on red grenades and BLU on blue grenades.
Engineer: Dispenser Skin, changes the colour of that line thing on top of Level 3 dispensers, Build/Demolish calculator/button changed to Nintendo DS lite.
Medic: Animated line (dammit, what do you call that?) on side of the Blutsauger. Comes in BLU and RED.

Don't care if it has been posted before.

I think the levels are just there for being there, I don't think they will ever take effect on any gameplay aspect. At least, I hope not. Im pretty sure that level 95 Krieg was a glitch, cause I'm pretty sure everything is at a fixed level, cause, they're there just to be there.

I disagree, like I've said 3 times the pyro takes no skill at all. All I do is get behind the enemy, burn then run. If I die, I die.. but I'm always likely to get at least 1 kill per death, with sometimes 10+ if I live for long enough. The airblast does require skill, not just sending back projectiles but also blasting enemies away from you.. but I can't resist 100% crits, especially since you've got to be behind the enemy in order to not die anyway.. though an airblast helps survive, of course..

Billy Mays is dead. :'(
This week sucks, man. TF2 ads aren't looking so good right now. First Scout got sent to jail, then Heavy dies.....maybe they should stay out of the business......

Oxi-Clean is screwed. You can't replace a spokesman like Billy Mays.

You are absolutely right. Me, as a Pyro on Dustbowl, I found a nice corner where everyone was passing and during an enemy rush, no one saw me, everyone was paniced and I killed the whole enemy. And they were shouting :HAcker,n00b e.t.c.

As for the airblast, for me it is very usefull when you are near a dispenser and you encounter ubers. They can do nothing in air and uber ends eventually.

Did you know that you can put fires off with the airblast?
Also, it's normal that you own everyone as a pyro if you're playing against n00bs, but every good player should know how to kill a rushing maniac (shoot straight ahead-it's not that hard)

I was not playing against n00bs and you know it because you was THERE seeing me. I was not rushing. Just I was sneaky. Everyone was near the cart, a spy was around(they saw him) and a sentry with a demoman were camp-fighting them. It is normal that you get shocked and you can do notthing when, in all thes, a maniac is behind you burning you.

Yeah l know l wasn't talking about you, it was in fact a good tactic that involved actual thinking..but if you play W+M1 pyro you won't go far, that's for sure..

Well, you may do much... but yes. Pyro needs a bit tactic.

Well I've started playing TF2 again. I managed to get all the spy and sniper milestones all in one night. I love the new Sniper bow but im pretty disapointed with the spies new weapons. The new cloaked are just "OK". Nothing too special. But the ambassator is pretty decent. Alot easier to aim with IMO. Bu t yeah, hit me up if you want to play.

So what's the highest level item you guys have? I haven't looked at all of them but i think my highest is a level 82 Sandvich.
