Hello everyone, hope the day finds you all well. The TF2 beta unlocked last night after a few hiccups, so I haven't played it but we have this rather comprehensive discussion for everyone. Good Wii news today too, with online play confirmed for Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Remo placates my need for a Wii Sports sequel with this talk of Table Tennis. That'll do pig. That'll do. Oh, oh, and we gave away some games! Rejected Chatty Title: How Do I Work Th

    Nerfing stuff already? Including the main weapon of one of the most versatile characters?

        And I was a Pyro which mean I have to be in YOUR FACE...but I did get a nasty axe kill on one of them. That was pretty sweet.

    Quickly figured out that when you see a team, attack the med first. I took down, or apart a couple of pairs that way.

  I'm getting sound stuttering though, within a few mins of starting, then it just freezes with the stuttering.

        I can only start windowed. After that I can change it to fullscreen in the options but the hud is clearly not where it's meant to be. You have to click below buttons to activate them, etc.

        Do this: -fullscreen -width 1920 -height 1200 -refresh 60
        
        That fixed it for me. Apparently the refresh thing is the most important part.

    I have to add both windowed mode and width/height: "+windowed -width 1024 -height 768" before it will launch properly. It seems to stay fullscreen though, and once ingame I can set to any resolution.

  Worked fine second time, graphics are incredible, gameplay - well there's only one problem.
  
  I never was any good at TF and not really into it still :( - but that's not their fault.
  Presentation amazing, graphics cool - gameplay - probably fun for TF fans but yeah - I quit.
  
  I would like to see what else they could do with those graphics though.

  Apparently it totally hates my laptop and refuses to even get to the main menu before crashing, though it runs fantastically on my desktop.
  
  Gonna try some different video drivers and hope that fixes stuff.
