I noticed their heavies didn't go anywhere without a healer in tow, something we should ask for from now on.

Several, I believe. We actually captured a few control points, so we did better than the goons..
-

Thanks, we tried. Some of the guys are being a little too hard on themselves.

The main tactics that were new that I saw was:
Rocket jumping EVERYWHERE. They had soldiers flying around the map like I've never seen. They also used demomen to launch HWG's onto control points or across the map faster.
They almost always had an uber ready to assault with. I don't think they attacked hardly at all without an uber. They also co-ordinated their rushes for the maximum chaos.
Other than those two things they were really just slightly better players (and about 140ms faster than us *cough*). -

Did we fair better than the goons?

That's because shackers are the best people to play online with.

I only have the first game demo. Rosewood has the second game. No one got the third game. My game crashed hard and I couldn't launch it after that :(

X:\Steam\steamapps\accountname\team fortress 2\tf
go into the game and type into the console
"play shackvalve" (without the quotes)
it should work then.

If the demo is not working I will try to talk to Robin tomorrow about it and get answers. I tried loading it myself and couldn't load it. I just uploaded it because people wanted it already :)

Yeah, us shackers need to scrimmage so that we could at least learn how to work together as a team.
Maybe west coast vs. east coast or something like that.-

Some pics I took. None of them are anything special so sorry about that. I tried to take a pic whenever I was killed and I periodically took pictures of our scores for you to see the comparison.

Also, sorry that these aren't uploaded to some fancy gallery type picasaweb thing but this is all I got for now. -

Seriously, I love you guys, I love the Shack, but it's fuckin' Valve. No shame in getting destroyed. The fact that anyone thinks they could go toe-to-toe with a hand-picked team from the makers of TF, TFC, and TF2 is hilarious :) Good games though...it's hard to even get a few kills on those guys.
-
I remember when my friend won a trip via Mplayer to go and play the makers of Daikatana. And, he won.
Isn't the trend that the gamers are better than the people that make the games?
The downfall lies in the more or less random people all pinging 100+ against a team LAN'd pinging single digits.-
Well, Valve isn't just the people that make the games, they're people who have been playing it every single day for months and months. Robin Walker told me they've played TF2 more than any other multiplayer game they've ever published, and it hasn't even been complete all that long.

-
Many competitive clans could wipe the floor with Valve. If the the Shack had more time to handpick star players and iron out strats we could have won.
-
Most likely the QA department is probably better at the game than the Valve devs.
-
A bunch of Gearbox guys whooped a bunch of Epic guys at Gears of War multiplayer recently.
-
is there a mirror for the demo files?
-
Team 2 screenshots. When I launched the game, all my graphics settings went back to shit, so none of these (except for pregame.jpg are HQ. sorry)
http://i4.uploadem.com/09252007/pregame.jpg We had pregame jitters and had to make #'s 1 & 2 :(
http://i4.uploadem.com/09252007/lolrelic.jpg lol @ askedrelic after we had been getting smoked.
http://i4.uploadem.com/09252007/needsmoreheavies.jpg we were an unorganized mess. but it was fun.
http://i4.uploadem.com/09252007/wekickedass.jpg I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, his greatest fulfillment of all he holds dear, is the moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious. ps. this is where we claim victory!-
So did you guys win one round?

I think the shack squad (at least #1, I didn't see #2 at all) put up a fight considering the challenge. The first run on granary, shack held the last point for a bit and almost had the middle. The 4th point went quick but they held the 5th point.
On the one map I can't think of the name where it is A B C and one side is D the other side is O, the shack actually capped one side, and went flat on the other. They held one side for that map for a bit as well.
Early on there was a lack of team play it seemed. Valve was more prepared.
It won't be long until the pro-hos really take over this game. I'm sure if 12 of us worked on it for a month, we could at least stalemate Valve, but in a month I doubt we could get a rematch. Now is a good time for them to just beat the crap out of the noobs.
