If I didn't know about it, I wouldn't care. But the anticipation is dreadful

-
-
They said the 17th. They have 3.5 hours left in my books.
-
-
Fuck those bitches, they said the 17th and in my timezone where I bought that its 3.5 hours. They owe me some splainin' if I dont get it soon.

3 servers...for the entire Internet.
Seriously, I'm not getting my hopes up for playing this until tomorrow night at the earliest. -
-
no but you guys are
-
-
-
anyone can host a server, they're talking about shack servers, not valve servers
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
soon!!!!!!!!!
-
why not now : (
-
-
"When it's done"
-
anyone else think Valve shutdown the forums today just so they wouldn't have to listen to the internets bitch?
-
they still work, just poorly they are overloaded but im on them
-
-
-
Seriously, what's the point of even putting a date on something if you have no intention of actually getting it pushed out on the day you say? They could have said yeah yeah it'll come out at the end of September and yet they'd release it in October. It's just stupid. Just release it when it's done and leave it at that. Why build hype and get people all pissy when you can't make a release date?
-
-
What makes you think they won't?
-
-
-
-
Like when college students write papers, they just got around to coding it today. They've been putting off for 9 years and realized that today was the day.
-
Some champ over at Valve, the ultimate slacker, is only realizing the beta is supposed to come out today RIGHT NOW. He's going to finish smoking this last bowl, pack another one, smoke that then get to work... making a BLT. After he eats that, he's gonna' watch an episode of Family Guy and then get to work coding TF2!
-
-
-
you don't think they'll release it the next 5 hours? Hmm...guess you deserve what comes to you =)
-
If you say your going to release something on a certain day your probably not going to wait until the wee hours left in the day to release it unless your running into technical difficulties or you don't have your shit together. I may be smited but it's like guido above me said...it's crunch time.

Update: My preload completed. Thank you for waiting, Valve!
-
Woo! I think you were the last one to buy it, so now that everyone is preloaded, they can release it... right? RIGHT????
-
-
What's keeping this stupid comet?
-
-
2 minutes until another arbitrary release time!!!!
-
-
71% at 390k/s soon they gonna unlock it.. just for me !!!
-
-
-
yup they canned it altogether and i'm still pissed. great first episode IMO

How much do you want to bet that the people at Valve are laughing at how many of you continuously get trolled by them.
It never fails, they are doing it on purpose at this point.-
i was just imagining them, all sitting around one machine which has the load monitors on one screen and the magic command to flip the 'release' bit on it on the other. and instead of flipping it they are like drinking a beer and laughing at how many people are restarting steam and circle jerking

Can't do it :(
-
-
Heres whats gonna happen. 12am PST the game will unlock. At which point, I will be pretty damn tired, but will force myself to stay up. However, since they waited until 12am, there will be pretty much no servers. The few that are up will be complete shit because 95 percent of them will be running off cable modems. It will be a struggle getting into them, and once you do it will be a major lag fest. I'll stay up forcing myself to play in the lag until 3 or 4am completely ruining my Tuesday at work. This is pretty much how it went for every major patch ever released for counter-strike =(
-
-
-
-
lets worry about the if this does unlock tonight part first
-
-
-
nope.. they're just fucking with us now.
-
-
me too, but no :(
-
meant for phil.

Pacific time is for fags, which is why Valve goes off it.

How did your horse float directing go?

Didn't see a single one. Still, Got paid a lot of cash for the privilege.

My anticipation level has been like a rollercoaster today: it went up slowly and has now come crashing back down. Thanks for leaving us hanging, Valve :(
-
Has this been posted yet??
http://shacknews.waits.for.tf2.com/ -
Fuck you Valve, you said Monday >:(
-
It's still Monday somewhere.
-
It said play TF2 Beta on Monday. Nowhere did it say play TF2 on Monday*
*Monday is a fictional time made up in Gabe Newell's oversized head
-
-
like crack addicts you'll all come back, broused and bleeding, back to the pimp for your next hit.

Kinda of a bummer night, no Hellgate or TF2 :(

I don't think so. I mean, of course you don't want to be like "YO, FAGS WHAT WAS UP WITH THAT SHIT ON MONDAY.??" But I think it would be a genuinely good question, and I'd be really interested in hearing what they were doing. I mean, I'm assuming it's some logistics problem, or preparation. I'd just like to hear how that shit works.
-
-
Yeah just curious why we can't get a timeframe even. If its Monday Pacific time only, please say that. I mean shit, wtf is the point of preloading the game and not having it ready to roll at 12am Monday. If it wasnt for the preload id blame it on technical issues but apparently the games all done and sitting on my pc

Hrmm.. that's doesn't make a whole hell of a lot of sense?
-
-
Well I mean.. if your going to release it sans Linux if you can't get it working, why not just release the win32s and let people get going.. the hardcore Linux people will install it when it's ready?
Maybe I'm just slow.. or frustrated I don't know.-
-
I guess... I doubt there won't be a ton of shitty listen servers anyways, but it's a good point.

getting flak for being ~12hrs late to release a demo is one thing, but the flak when everyone says "OMG, too laggy, netcode is crap!" as their first impression is another.

I'm seeing 17...that should be enough to hold about 1% of the people trying to click the "play" button.

I can only see one in Australia but even that has me excited.
-

Looks like the dedicated server was released.
-
My team fortress 2 is preloading... for the second time. wtf?
It's at 72 percent now. It seems to be stuck there. :(-
[deleted]
-
-
This is it. The next time I post I will have played TF2. It's been a good, long run boys. Wish me luck!
-
-
I'm still stuck at 72 percent preloaded. :(
wtf?-
-
I paused it, then resumed it and that did the trick.
It's now at 100 percent pre-load, but it won't let me play it. :(

Wow, haha, the posts in the TF2 chatty are hilarious. "Valve failed to deliver on their promise!" "Valve screwed us!"
Yeah guys, they are totally out to fuck you, they're probably just sitting around twiddling their thumbs.
Meanwhile, at Valve Headquarters:
Gabe Newell, "FUUUUUUUUUCK!"-
days like this confirm my thoughts that the world internet is full of selfish people.
these guys want us to play with their awesome toy that they've spent a decade making. they want us to play it prolly as much as we want to play it.
they're working their tails off at 12.30am (and prolly got to the office at 5am today) to make this happen for us.-
-
-
Then the shouldn't sell a Beta until it's damn sure going out the door. All that was fine until they slapped a price tag and a date on it. I'm not hurt by it, I went to bed and will wait till tonight, but saying that missing a promised date is ok, to me at least, isn't a good thing.

Damn this game is awesome. I can't really work out how to play any class but soldier yet, but its still tons of fun.
I have to say though, having played this for a couple of hours now I'd be tempted to try the 360 version. I think the slower pace and slightly less frantic action might be good for someone as shitty as me.
