Valve forgets about Microsoft's incredibly slow Cert process for 360 games, plans on SIMULTANEOUS UPDATES

so we'll see a fucking fix to meleespam in approximately 2020

More likely to release for PC early than to delay. They know where their real market is

So, I want to pick up this game and play, and I can find the system requirements easily enough, but I would like to know how well it really works in practice from those who have played the demo and what have you here? I ask because my computer meets and in some cases exceeds the requirements for TF2 but the game still runs like crud for the better part of the time, loading slow, and going choppy if things get too hectic so is it like that? Is it worse? I'd hate to drop fifty dollars on this game if I am just gonna have to shelf it until I can scrounge up the money to upgrade my PC.

As it stands, I do meet minimum requirements, for the most part.

What's your RAM at broseph?

My TF2 performance became pretty "high-end" just bumping up to 2GB from 1. I run L4D just fine and it doesn't even give me the usual Motherboard sound issues. Skipping occurs but no crashes at all.. from that particular issue. But hey, Steam engine.

I meet the minimum requirements of 512 (

). It was great about six years ago when I bought the computer but it looks like this is a good time to save up for an upgrade, eh? At least my card is good for it.

512 is not good times for you.

These days 2gigs of RAM is less than a meal at Chili's, so it's the easiest way to increase performance in games.

Easy Mode Single Player run of No Mercy for pain-in-the-ass or detriment-to-team achievements.

Got Safety First(AI never hits you or each other!) and Stand Tall(unintentional, unmanly.)

... Used dual pistols the entire time and then used the fucking minigun on the finale.

Also a witch. On top of the ladder.

Catloaf · « **Reply #231 on:** January 04, 2009, 04:45:44 PM »

Yeah, I've tried to get "Sneak past all witches" on easy mode before, but EVERY FUCKING TIME they spawn in places where they are in all practical senses, unavoidable. Like right behind the door when you exit the subway. Or, next to the safe room.

That, or the AI startles them.

Doom · « **Reply #232 on:** January 04, 2009, 04:53:27 PM »

I had a witch in the power-generator/raising door room that the AI avoided, but they couldn't handle following my sprint up the ladders. Le Sigh.

I also would've dug "Don't heal yourself", but the AI let a smoker + 3 zombies beat me from 100 to 31 health(ON EASY!) and then forced me to accept their heal.

... We could always buddy up and do it together as friends. If you guys can stomach an easy rush.

King Klown · « **Reply #233 on:** January 04, 2009, 05:02:56 PM »

I could stomach it.

François · « **Reply #234 on:** January 04, 2009, 05:08:07 PM »

Haha, I might do it, just once. I don't think I've ever made an Easy run. Considering how easy Normal is, it must be hilarious.

I think the AI can hit you, it just can't actually hurt you. I'm pretty sure it shoots me in the back all the time, because my view gets knocked around a bit for no reason every once in a while during firefights.

One Pistol Shot = One Dead Zambie.

Hordes are a bit of a joke. I don't think the tank can take more than 8 shotgun shells.

Catloaf · « **Reply #236 on:** January 04, 2009, 05:10:13 PM »

I can too. For some reason, it stays playable for me.... I think it's the extra Tanks.

I was trying to get Akimbo Assassin, and my goons had Shotgun/Rifle/Sniper so I made a point to never fire if I could see them and to just spam melee. While crouching. I played like it was my first time. The shotgun guy seemed capable of peeling individual zombies off my ass without scuffing my outfit.

... We also didn't get the Boomer achievement despite never being hit by bile. Boooo.

Pugging VS Mode is terrible!

We get a tank, he incaps somebody... and then tries to beat them to death!

What's he got to say? "It just sorta happened!" You accidentally broke your left hand and had no choice but to keep clicking with your right??????????????????????

I can forgive the new, but this shit from dudes barking commands and demanding justification every time my boomer spawn looks like it may be even remotely behind the survivors...

Also not only do I want to farm achievements but I want to start beating Expert mode campaigns.

I'm now kicking anyone who does the Kenshiro melee spam.
